Valencian linguistic conflict

The Valencian linguistic conflict,^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] also known as Valencian sociolinguist conflict,^[1] is a term coined by the Valencian sociolinguist Rafael Ninyoles i Monllor in his 1969 work Conflicte lingüístic valencià.^[6] The term refers to the conflict, more or less explicit between the spheres of use of the Spanish and Valencian language in the Land of Valencia.^[6]

During the Battle of Valencia (1978-1982) the term was used to refer to a controversy about the entity of the Valencian and its relationship with the other speechs of the Catalan language,^[3]^[7]^[6] this discussion, despite being so popular in medias to arrive to superimpose other issues,^[6] is considered to be secondary when compared to the true undertone of the Valencian language controversy: the institutional minorisation of the Valencian language and the preeminence of the Spanish language in the Land of Valencia.^[6]^[4]

Coinage of the concept

The Valencian sociolinguist Rafael Ninyoles i Monllor coined the term linguistic conflict by the end of the 1960s^[6] to refer to certain diglossic situations, such as the Valencian one.^[4] In his late works, he described the process of the ongoing substitution of Valencian by Castilian by social elites and the resulting loss of prestige of the vernacular language.^{[citation needed]}
