Issue Date: | 2006 | Journal: | Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies | Abstract: | The aim of this paper is to offer an interdisciplinary approach to the study of travel writing. 1 In particular, what we attempt to do is to apply a sociolinguistic point of view to a number of travel texts, which, undoubtedly, situate the traveller-and, consequently, the reader-in the fascinating context of intercultural exchange. As Henriquez (1995, p. 33) notes, in their work travel writers 'try to re-shape the cultural exchange between ... races and traditions'. Since culture and language are so closely intertwined, travel accounts could be used as a source to examine the cultural and linguistic influences experienced by writers as a result of their daily contact with the members of the communities they visit. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/764 | ISSN: | 1470-1847 | DOI: | 10.1080/14701840601085048 | Source: | Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies [ISSN 1470-1847], v. 12, (2-3), p. 203-217 |
