Abstract

Carles Salvador had strong nationalistic convictions and was very active in promoting the Catalan language in several areas, specifically in developing treatises on spelling, grammar and lexicography. His work would help consolidate the standardization of Catalan in the Valencian Country and would make him an unquestionable authority on Catalan grammar.

Abstract

In this article Casanova uses various archives –in particular that of Emili Beüt i Belenguer– to reconstruct the process of elaborating the general dictionary of Valencian. This dictionary was written during the Spanish civil war through the IEV, an organization in which Salvador played a decisive role. The author presents several dictionary entries and compares them with others from Pompeu Fabra's DGLC, and with other works.

Abstract

This study analyzes how Salvador, as founder and collaborator, participated in various Valencian cultural institutions of his time: the Societat Castellonenca de Cultura, the Associació Protectora de l’Ensenyança Valenciana, the publications Taula de Lletres Valencianes and El Camí, Proa, Lo Rat-Penat, the Institut d'Es­tudis Valencians, and the Centre de Cultura Valenciana, among others.

Abstract

Through a critical examination of the Valencian literary circles at the end of the nineteenth century (during the Renaixença), the author situates the decisive role Carles Salvador played in the renovation of literary form and content, especially in the temporal option of the Avant-garde, in poetry and theatre.

Abstract

Meseguer situates Carles Salvador within the literary trends of his contemporaries. He deals with Salvador's implicit and explicit ideological influences, focusing on the poetics of various texts: El jazz, el maquinisme i la poesia pura (1928), Colps d'escut i de sageta (1929), Significado de Avantguardisme, his declaration in La poesia valenciana en 1930, and his unpublished paper El meu concepte de la poesia.

Abstract

Carles Salvador and his generation greatly contribute to the modernization and standardization of Catalan literature in the Valencian Country at the beginning of the twentieth century. The reasons and circumstances are analyzed by Balaguer, who concludes that they were often based on ambitions which would not come to fruition at the level they aimed for.

Abstract

Carbó reviews every book of poetry by Carles Salvador from Plàstic (1923), to El fang i l’esperit (1952), through which he traces –in both general and specific terms– the evolution of Salvador and his contributions to the renovation of Valencian lyrics in Catalan during the crucial decades.

Abstract

This article examines Salvador's ability as narrator through a textual analysis of five of his works of prose –two published before the war of 1936 and three left unpublished. Alonso perceives a certain narrative weakness as a consequence of Salvador's scarce and generic knowledge of the requirements and methods of this genre.

Abstract

From 1915 to the postwar years, Caries Salvador wrote over a dozen plays, some of which were left unpublished, and others which were never brought to the stage. Comedies, comic interludes and a miracle story about Saint Vicent make up this group of texts. Roselló analyzes them in detail.

Abstract

In several of Salvador's writings –Qüestions de llenguatge (1936), El valencia a les escoles (1935) and reviews of various texts by Delfí Dalmau (1936)– Solé recovers ideas and concepts taken up in current sociolinguistic discourse, for example, linguistic substitution, monolingualism in primary school curriculum, and the effects of passive polyglotism.
