      The article discusses issues of sociolinguistic continuity in Spain as it applies to the diglossic relationships between Castilian Spanish and the regional languages of Basque, Galician, and Catalan. It comments on the effects of linguistic normalization, as well as the use of languages in schools and social settings. Other topics explored include Spanish language use among youth, vernacular traits, and the impact of communication technology on regional languages.
