Diseño lingüístico de un barrio ecuatoriano en Queens, Nueva York
Resumen
Los estudios de diáspora sobre las comunidades migrantes muestran que estos grupos transnacionales se apropian del nuevo espacio en el país receptor a través de un proceso de deterritorialización y reterritorialización. Estos procesos involucran una reinterpretación y una nueva conceptualización de la relación lingüística entre la lengua del grupo diaspórico y aquella del país de origen. Uno de los lugares más visibles donde esta relación debe negociarse es en la esfera pública, donde la lengua, la cultura y la identidad están estrechamente interrelacionadas (Blackwood, Lanza & Woldemariam, 2016). A través de una perspectiva multimodal y tomando en consideración metodologías cualitativas y cuantitativas, este artículo analiza cómo la comunidad ecuatoriana-estadounidense que vive en Queens, ciudad de Nueva York, transformó el paisaje lingüístico de su entorno para convertirlo en uno semejante al que tenían en su país de origen.
Palabras clave
paisaje lingüístico, diáspora ecuatoriana, comunidad minoritaria, español en los Estados Unidos
