  • ITI SORIA Castilla La Mancha
    Soria, May 22 & 23, 2018 ESPON EVENTS: FIGHTING POPULATION DECLINE IN RURAL AREAS Alejandro Alonso Núñez General Director of Coordination and Planning Government of Castilla-La Mancha PowerPoint template 16:9 PREAMBLE Castilla-La Mancha is part of the Spanish Forum of Regions with Demographic Challenges (FREDD) consisting of the Autonomous Communities of Galicia, Principado de Asturias, La Rioja, Aragón and Castilla y León. Combined, they gather 4,463 municipalities (55% of Spain’s municipalities) and more than half of Spain’s territory with 52.8% of its surface. However, they only account for 21% of the Spanish population. We seek a Common Position leading to the debate on and approval of the European Union’s upcoming Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for the next programming period that includes: A precise definition of the concept ‘serious and permanent demographic disadvantages.’ The need for a European strategy on demographic change that coordinates all of the Union’s instruments and funds. Post-2020 Cohesion Policy must confront new challenges faced by the EU. These include demographic challenge, as pointed out by the European Parliament and the Committee of the Regions. Cohesion Policy must remain a priority in funds and efforts. Funding for other priorities cannot call into question the EU Cohesion funds. It is essential to – at least - maintain funding at its current level and if possible to increase it so as not to jeopardize the progress of regional and local development during the next programming period. Cohesion Policy, its funding and the modulation of its co-funding criteria cannot be based on a single indicator - GDP per capita.

Its starting point is the Atlas Lingüístico de la Península Ibérica (ALPI) maps, and the paper published on them by Tomás Navarro Tomás, comparing them to those from the Atlas Lingüístico y etnográfico de Castilla-La Mancha (ALeCMan) and from the Atlas Dialectal de Madrid (ADiM). Our results allow us to confirm the unstoppable progress of the /ʎ/-/ʝ/ merger and the geographical direction of the change. Keywords Geolinguistics, linguistic change, /ʎ/-/ʝ/ merger (yeísmo), Castilian-Manchegan and Madrilenian speech varieties * The present study has been written within the framework of two research projects directed by Pilar García Mouton: FFI2011-29595, Colaboración española al Atlas Linguistique Roman y al Atlas Linguarum Europae: Materiales geolingüísticos de Madrid, and the CSIC’s internal project Elaboración y edición de los materiales del Atlas Lingüístico de la Península Ibérica (ALPI), 200410E604. 23 ©Universitat de Barcelona P.
