In the Middle Ages Catalan military expansion spread the use of the language beyond modern Catalonia, but following the unification of Castile and Aragon the language lost ground to Castilian. During the Franco régime the use of Catalan and other minority national languages was prohibited in the media and in public institutions. This, together with the influx of Castilian-speaking immigrants, posed a threat to the survival of the language. Since 1979, when Catalonia's autonomous government, the Generalitat, was re-established and Catalan gained lengua cooficial status, the language has returned to public life in Catalonia and is flourishing. Indeed, many Catalan authors publish first in Catalan and only later in Castilian. Outside Catalonia, Catalan is also spoken by large numbers of people in the Balearic Islands and Andorra. Valenciano, a language spoken in the Valencia region, is closely related.See:ver nota culturelle LENGUAS COOFICIALES in lengua* * *I- lana adjetivo/masculino, femenino CatalanII •• Cultural note:The language of Catalonia.

* * *catalán, -ana♦ adjCatalan, Catalonian♦ nm,f[persona] Catalan♦ nm[lengua] CatalanCATALÁNCatalan is one of several official languages in Spain other than Castilian Spanish. Like Spanish (“castellano”) and Galician (“gallego”), it developed from late Latin. It is spoken in Catalonia in northeastern Spain, and closely related languages are also spoken in the Balearic Islands (“mallorquín”) and the Valencian region (“valenciano”). Catalonia's economic development in the latter part of the 19th century encouraged a renaissance in the use of the language as a literary medium. During Franco's dictatorship (1939-75), Catalan was effectively banned for official purposes, but it continued to be used in everyday life as well as in literature. Since the return of democracy, Catalonia's regional government has promoted Catalan as the official language for use in education.* * *I adj CatalanII m, catalana f Catalan* * *catalán nm: Catalan (language)* * *catalán adj n Catalan -

[pez] bleak2. [azar] chance;dejar algo al albur to leave sth to chance3. Méx, RDom [juego de palabras] pun;[doble sentido] double meaningALBURESAlbures are a distinctive form of punning which originated in the speech of the (male) lower-classes of Mexico City, but are now in much wider use. They are used in rapid-fire repartee, chiefly of a sexual nature, which can be stretched into extensive exchanges as each participant tries to top the last speaker's remark. They typically involve use of numerous synonyms for the sexual organs, and one frequent theme of albures is the attempt to insinuate that one's adversary is the passive partner in a homosexual act. Many of the puns have passed into everyday speech, and can cause unintended hilarity. For example, the apparently innocent word “setecientas” (seven hundred) can be understood to mean “you sit on it”. Non-native speakers, no matter how fluent their Spanish, are unlikely to make much sense of an exchange of albures, let alone be able to participate. Indeed, they can be largely incomprehensible even to many Mexicans.* * *m1 fate, chance2 ZO dace* * *albur nm1) : chance, risk
