{"title":"Editor’s Message","authors":"Benjamin Fraser","doi":"10.1353/hpn.2023.0000","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/hpn.2023.0000","url":null,"abstract":"Editor’s Message Benjamin Fraser We begin this new year with sincere gratitude for all the collective work behind the scenes that has been contributed by our editorial board members and our peer reviewers from 2022. Behind the articles that are published in each quarterly issue of Hispania there are numerous peer reviewers who have given generously of their time and expertise. Many times, articles that reach the acceptance stage have passed through multiple rounds of peer evaluation, and we are particularly thankful that our reviewers are ready to take a second (or third!) look at a revision along the way. Our aim in all cases is to provide authors of submissions with rigorous, detailed, and meaningful feedback. It is our pleasure to include these reviewer names in our March issue as a way of saying thanks. The anonymity of the review process is essential to the work we do, and so individual reviewers are never connected with a particular submission. If you are interested in becoming a reviewer, please create a reviewer profile in the Scholar One system and make sure to include your areas of expertise!! This issue’s contents are just one batch of contributions to our continuing commitment toward reaching members of the association at K-20 levels and including all research specializations pertaining to the broad categories of literature, linguistics, and pedagogy. The short-form articles section of the journal was formed to provide readers with access to shorter pieces (1,500–3,000 words) that promise to be of interest to K-12 members of the association in particular. Here we include Jerry L. Parker’s “Racial Inclusivity in the Spanish Curriculum: A Case for Afro-Hispanic Literature,” which outlines the impact of diversity equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) efforts in an intermediate Spanish II course. The research articles run the gamut. In “Re-Conceptualizing Affricate Variation in Caracas Spanish,” Manuel Díaz-Campos, Molly Cole and Matthew Pollock tie frication duration to social and linguistic factors in the Venezuelan capital. In “Teaching Special Questions: The Role of Semantics and Pragmatics in Colloquial Interrogative Structures in Spanish,” Javier Fernández-Sánchez and Alfredo García-Pardo assert the special interpretative functions of questions in which evidentiality and irony play a crucial role. Ana Cecilia Iraheta’s article, “Reclaiming the Power of Bilingualism: Spanish Heritage Learners Using Bilingual Skills in a Critical Service-Learning Project,” finds linguistic and affective gains are strengthened through community engagement. Rob A. Martinsen and Gregory L. Thompson discuss the current state of computer-mediated communication in their “Virtual Language Exchanges in Lower-level Language Classes: Promise and Practice.” Two of this issue’s articles blend the study of literature in both Portuguese- and Spanish-language texts. In “Heterotopías decoloniales y subversiones de la sexualidad en ‘A menor mulher do mundo’ de Lispe","PeriodicalId":51796,"journal":{"name":"Hispania-A Journal Devoted To the Teaching of Spanish and Portuguese","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135131004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate the relationship between frication and occlusion period duration in affricate segments across two steps. First, we present a phonetic characterization of the dependent variable and its variants. Second, we examine the sociolinguistic profile of the variants in an oral corpus of Caracas Spanish. Correlation analyses between the frication period, occlusion period, and overall segment duration suggest that frication lengthening is most prominent, which may mean that affricate variation in Caracas is not necessarily a lenition process, but rather a lengthening one. Through a mixed-effects linear regression model, we determine that frication duration is significantly conditioned by social and linguistic factors in Caracas. Longer frication periods are predicted by following high vowels, corpus year, speaker sex, and in word-initial position. These results suggest that traditional affricate lenition may in some cases point to a process of lengthening and retiming that is both socially and linguistically stratified. This paper contributes to the field by providing an acoustic examination of variable affricate production as well as a diachronic sociolinguistic investigation of this phenomenon in the Spanish of Caracas, Venezuela.","PeriodicalId":51796,"journal":{"name":"Hispania-A Journal Devoted To the Teaching of Spanish and Portuguese","volume":"106 1","pages":"26 - 9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47629733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"From Próximos to Prójimos: Discursive Redlining, Autoconstruction, and Crossing in Estação terminal and Angosta","authors":"Jordan Jones","doi":"10.1353/hpn.2023.0006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/hpn.2023.0006","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Against the backdrop of extreme social and economic inequality exacerbated by discriminatory real estate processes like redlining, many Latin Americans turn to autoconstruction—a long-term process of gradually expanding and improving their homes to boost their standing in society. This article compares the novels Estação terminal (2010), by Brazilian author Sacolinha, and Angosta (2003), by Colombian writer Héctor Abad Faciolince, to examine how redlining and autoconstruction operate on both economic and discursive levels. In the face of stereotypes that vilify socially peripheral groups, Sacolinha and Abad employ discursive autoconstruction—building up positive images of social “others” to countervail marginalization and assert a creative right to the city (Beal). Portraying characters who transgress borders both literal and figurative, the texts bridge the distance between characters and readers, inviting them to become prójimos (metaphorical neighbors) charged with defending the rights of others. Analyzing this process underscores how economic, narrative, and social resistance can interrelate. It also demonstrates that, just as marginalization and oppression compound when the factors on which they are based intersect, resistance is most effective when it too is multifaceted and intersectional, enacted on various fronts to reconfigure attitudes and work toward a more inclusive society.","PeriodicalId":51796,"journal":{"name":"Hispania-A Journal Devoted To the Teaching of Spanish and Portuguese","volume":"106 1","pages":"83 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45168216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study examined the experiences of beginning and intermediate level learners of Spanish in the United States as they interacted weekly with native Spanish speakers over the course of three academic years. Students were assigned to face-to-face settings or one of a variety of virtual exchange platforms including both free and paid services. The unique opportunities created by the structure and features of each setting whether face-to-face or online did seem to have an effect on the students’ experiences and were visible in the data analysis. Results indicate that students’ gender and the context in which they interacted with native Spanish speakers were related to greater or lesser changes in students’ motivation, willingness to communicate and perceived learning. Additionally, engaging with a paid interlocutor in a setting with few technological issues seemed to improve outcomes.","PeriodicalId":51796,"journal":{"name":"Hispania-A Journal Devoted To the Teaching of Spanish and Portuguese","volume":"106 1","pages":"101 - 121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66324871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
