摘要:In the context of the Galician language’s standardization process, detecting and correcting Castilianisms has acquired great significance in linguistic research in the spread and dissemination of the standard variety, and also among speakers themselves. This article highlights what we consider to be the excessive importance attached to this phenomenon, especially in its reductionist vision of lexical Castilianisms. It is the presence of this type of Castilianism that characterizes a variety of Galician called "castrapo" by speakers, with which significant proportion of speakers closely identify although it is criticized and qualified as "bad Galician" in public discourse. We will also examine the other side of the coin, represented by Galicianisms in the Spanish of Galicia, a phenomenon which has attracted much less attention from speakers and linguists. We carry out an analysis of these two phenomena, Castilianisms and Galicianisms, from the perspective of speakers and in linguistic research. Finally, we analyze the linguistic ideologies behind these discourses and terminology.
