Spain's Linguistic Normalization Laws: The Catalan Controversy.
Rees, Earl L.
Hispania, v79 n2 p313-21 May 1996
The 1983 Catalonian Linguistic Normalization Law made Spanish and Catalan co-official languages in that region. The law's constitutionality was challenged and after more than a decade of litigation was upheld by Spain's Supreme Court, producing a polemic in Catalonia and, tangentially, an impact in the Basque region and Galicia.
