| Bertrand Barère |
January 27
1794: Bertrand Barère presents a report on languages to the Revolutionary Convention in Paris, in which he argues in favor of a French-only policy: “The first two National Assemblies have already spent far too much on translations of laws into the various tongues of France. As if it were up to us to maintain the barbarous jargons and crude dialects that cannot but serve the cause of fanatics and counter-revolutionary elements!”
1970: Founding of the Sociedad Española de Lingüística.
