Summary: This study examines the attitudes of Spanish-English speakers in the Upstate of South Carolina towards bilingual discourse. It utilizes a mixed methods approach, analyzing survey data and sociolinguistic interviews to explore bilinguals' views on English-origin nonce borrowings, loan shifts, and codeswitching. The quantitative analysis reveals a preference for monolingual examples over bilingual ones, while in the bilingual survey items, speakers accept loanshifts more than nonce borrowings. The qualitative analysis shows that the majority of participants hold a neutral or negative opinion towards language contact phenomena, while a minority view it as a valuable communicative resource and symbol of identity. The study highlights the negative perceptions of bilingual discourse and suggests that these stem from monolingual and monoglossic language ideologies, as well as the belief that non-standard language practices represent language degeneration. The article concludes with a call to inform the community about the harmful attitudes towards bilingual discourse in order to change pervasive language attitudes in the Upstate and the country.

Summary: A poet's choice of rhythmic patterns is influenced by a universal set of metrical constraints, the metrical grammar and lexical structure of their own language, and their personal style. This paper analyses how these three factors impact the frequency of different stress patterns used by Ausias March and Vicent Andres Estelles in their poetry, and finds that they share the same metrical constraints and weight. The only difference lies in their stylistic preferences.

Summary: The life and work of the poet Manuel de Quiroz y Campo-Sagrado have been a void of knowledge in New Spain's pre-independent literature for two centuries. This research fills the gap by documenting, editing, and studying his correspondence and unedited work from 1798, during one of his silent periods. The importance of this historical-philological research lies in broadening the author's works with two unknown pieces, documenting new correspondence between the poet and the viceroy De Azanza, and editing them.
