The parallelism between Catalonia and Quebec has recently been strengthened with the recent upsurge of nationalism and the demand for a referendum to decide whether to become separate from the Spanish state. The story is not new, since as a “historical” autonomous community with a language of its own, Catalan, and a distinct history88 and cultural tradition, often at odds with the Spanish ones, Catalonia presents some interesting parallelisms with Quebec, a province with its own language and cultural singularity, which sometimes are also in conflict with those of English Canada.23 p.application/pdfengcc by-nc-nd (c) Somacarrera, Pilar et al., 2013http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Traducció literàriaCatalunyaMinories lingüístiquesLiterary translationCataloniaLinguistic minoritiesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bookParthttps://doi.org/10.2478/9788376560175.c4info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
