Abstract In this paper, a phase of language divinisation is posited as the deeply-rooted origin of the standard language/variety ideology, which devalues the nonstandard dialects thus causing a permanent sociolinguistic conflict. Present linguistic standardisation is seen as the form divinisation has taken in the course of the history of humankind and it is justified by the search of stability and functionality for organised speech communities, which is not objectionable as such for some aspects of social life. The sociolinguistic conflict emerges because the first stage of the process requires the selection of usually one variety (or more than one in some cases) out of the dialectal complex of any natural language, generally responding to class-related interests allied to power and prestige. It is evidently, an ideological issue. Our approach to this problem is based on data from the Spanish-speaking world, analysed mainly on a minimal unitary phonetological approach (MUPA) in search of different dialectal dimensions and parameters. MUPA is justified and possible because of the great cohesiveness of Spanish varieties. When attention is paid to this extensive linguistic dominion, one finds that the notion of the inevitability of the weakening of regional varieties has to be revised.

语言意识形态，种族间冲突及其对语言和社会的影响：以西班牙方言情结为例

摘要在本文中，语言神化的阶段被认为是标准语言/多样性意识形态的根深蒂固的起源，它贬低了非标准方言的价值，从而导致了永久的社会语言冲突。当前的语言标准化被视为人类历史过程中神化的形式，并且通过为有组织的言语社区寻求稳定性和功能性来证明这一点是正当的，这在社会生活的某些方面并不令人反感。之所以出现社会语言冲突，是因为该过程的第一阶段要求从任何自然语言的方言复合体中选择通常一个品种（在某些情况下为多个），通常会响应与权力和声望相关的与阶级相关的利益。显然，这是一个意识形态问题。我们针对此问题的方法是基于来自西班牙语国家的数据，该数据主要基于最小统一语音学方法（MUPA）进行分析，以寻找不同的方言维度和参数。MUPA是合理的，并且由于西班牙品种的强大凝聚力而具有可行性。当人们关注这一广泛的语言优势时，人们发现必须弱化区域变种的必然性这一概念。
