Description


All languages have one essential feature in common: the fact that they change constantly. Social markers, context, space, time, gender and the individual psychology of each speaker are just some of the factors which can influence linguistic variation in any given language; Galician is no different. Xosé Manuel Sánchez Rei’s analysis looks at the specific case of variation within the Galician language, focusing in particular on the importance of the country’s geography as a determining factor.
