- Abstract
The objective of this article is to analyze the global processes of implantation of Spanish in the West Indies from reviewing the mechanisms used by the Spanish Crown to install and legitimize the linguistic unity. In particular, it discusses the classical hegemonic and imposing function assigned to Spanish, making visible the dynamics of other dominant languages, recognizing processes associated with the glocalization of native languages strongly intertwined with the project of conquest and religious resistance. It is argued that the global-local or glocal emerges from the intertwining of networks of associations and relationships involved in tensions, negotiations, and conflicts. As a result, it is concluded that the intended project of a single language was slowed down for centuries, among other factors, by the domains and socio-cultural and linguistic resistance of the new world, forcing the crown to establish multiple strategies and mechanisms to install and legitimize Castilian in the Indies.
