This paper studies the case of the western variety of the Catalan language (henceforth
Valencian) as a sign of identity for it speakers in contrast to the eastern variety of
Catalan (henceforth Catalan), as well as the future role of English in the Comunitat
Valenciana. The aim of this study is twofold. On the one hand, we would like to
discover if Valencian is a sign of identity for its speakers and, on the other hand, to find
out if English could have more presence in the Comunitat Valenciana than Valencian in
the future as the latter seems to have lost prestige. In order to obtain the required data,
six interviews are conducted according to the qualitative research method, which allows
smaller but more in-depth samples. The selected participants are classified into two
groups according to whether they have been living only in the Comunitat Valenciana or
in both the Comunitat Valenciana and Catalunya. The results obtained, which are
displayed in the form of tables, suggest that Valencian is a sign of identity for its
speakers and that English could not occupy its place in the future in the Comunitat
Valenciana. This, consequently, allows us to conclude that speakers of Valencian feel
identified with their own language and, although English has increased its presence in
this area, this cannot be regarded as a threat for the survival of the minority language,
nor for its future presence in the Comunitat Valenciana. [-]
