(4 de
diciembre, 2009).- Hoy empieza a circular la Nueva Gramática de la Lengua
Española que
sienta las bases del español del siglo XXI. La obra presta especial atención al
español de América, en la línea de la nueva política panhispánica de la Real
Academia Española (RAE).
Contenida en dos tomos y 4,000
páginas, es la primera gramática académica desde 1931 y el resultado de once
años de trabajo de las 22 academias de la lengua española.
"Se ha procurado una
gramática moderna y completa, en la que por primera vez se describe el español
de todo el mundo (...) Se tiene, en estos dos enormes volúmenes, una
descripción de las peculiaridades de la lengua que se habla en Europa y
América", explica el director de la Academia Mexicana de la Lengua (AML),
José Moreno de Alba.
(February 18, 2008).- Spanish will be the second language of economic exchange in the world in the next decade and could exceed the number of English native speakers, according to a study presented in Madrid by Fundación Telefónica.
According to the study Spanish Economy. An introduction, this language multiplies by two to three times the market share of Spanish exports in the whole of Spanish-speaking countries, “a multiplier factor even greater than English in the Anglo-Saxon countries”.
This study of Fundación Telefónica, the first of 10 volumes that will be presented soon on the value of Spanish, also stresses that this language “multiplies by almost 2.5 the share of migrants coming from Spanish speaking countries”, which reduces the costs of integration.
(February 21, 2008) – The International Year of Languages kicked off with a warning from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) that more than half the world’s 6,700 spoken languages are threatened with extinction and every two weeks on average one language disappears somewhere around the world.
Unesco Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura stressed the importance of
all languages to everyday life.
(October 1, 2007). - The Spanish language faces the challenge of becoming a language used in international communications if it can overcome its weaknesses: science and technology.
Despite the fact that it occupies third place in terms of the number of
the world’s inhabitants who speak it (lagging only behind Mandarin
Chinese and English), Spanish-language publications in the science and
technology sphere represent only 0.5 percent of the total worldwide.
(August 8, 2007). - After English, and ahead of German, Japanese and French, Spanish has become the second language most used for Google searches worldwide. This was made known today by this company, famous for its search engine.
According to Google, the intensive use of Spanish demonstrates
the increase in Internet traffic in the region.
“The Internet is a
vehicle for economic growth,” stated Gonzalo Alonzo, Google CEO for
Spanish-speaking markets in the region.
