The aim of the project, supported by Visegrad Fund, is to analyze the situation of the Spanish language as one of the new Foreign Language integrated into different educational settings. By creating the first demolinguistic dataset of Spanish in the V4 region, the project addresses two research questions: (i) under which conditions are foreign languages -with special attention to Spanish- incorporated into educational settings; (ii) which social, political factors determine their evolution.
The project is part of the research network Spanish in Europe, which aims to provide a quantitative and qualitative description of the linguistic and cultural geography of Spanish and its speakers in the continent.
