Recontextualización sociolingüística y superdiversidad. El árabe en el paisaje lingüístico del barrio de Lavapiés en Madrid

The aim of this article is to analyze the process of sociolinguistic recontextualization of Arabic as diasporic language in the linguistic landscape in Lavapiés neighborhood in Madrid. The sociolinguistic recontextualization will be analyzed in the article from three axes. First, I will describe the regime and patterns of language use in the linguistic landscape (LL). Secondly, I will examine the interests that exist behind the visibility of Arabic as a minority language and the function(s) that its relocation in the LL develops, in a zone not only of contact with Spanish as a hegemonic language, but also within multilingualism and superdiversity. By function, I refer to the linguistic-communicative, socio-identity and ethnic place-making (Scollon, Scollon 2003) of Arabic in a sociolinguistic regime and a dynamic and multilingual LL. Finally, I will analyze how space is restructuring, in spite of the existence of power relationships linked to the rules of use and construction of space. I will find out if there are phenomena such as spatial marking and new referential functions of the reproduction of space through its resemiotization and the relocation of Arabic as a minority and diasporic language.

本文旨在剖析阿拉伯语作为离散语言（diasporic language），在马德里拉瓦皮耶斯街区语言景观中的社会语言学再语境化进程。本文将从三个维度开展相关分析：其一，梳理语言景观（linguistic landscape，LL）中的语言使用机制与模式；其二，探究作为少数语言的阿拉伯语得以在语言景观中显现背后的动因，及其在该场域中所承载的功能——该场域不仅是与作为主导语言的西班牙语的接触地带，同时也处于多语生态与超级多元性的语境之中。此处所指的功能，涵盖阿拉伯语在社会语言学机制与动态多语语言景观中具备的语言-交际功能、社会身份建构功能，以及族群空间塑造（ethnic place-making）功能（斯科隆、斯科隆，2003）；其三，尽管存在与空间使用规则及空间建构相关的权力关系，本文仍将剖析空间的重构过程，并探究是否存在空间标记，以及通过对空间的再符号化（resemiotization）与将阿拉伯语这一少数离散语言迁移至该场域，所催生的空间再生产新型指涉功能等相关现象。
