Rôle et place de l’espagnol dans Death in the Afternoon et For Whom the Bell Tolls d’Ernest Hemingway

Rose Borel

This article seeks to analyse how Ernest Hemingway uses Spanish words, phrases, or sentences in the non-fiction work Death in the Afternoon (1932), as well as in his novel For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), raising the question of the reader’s understanding of a foreign language in a text written in English. It attempts to explore the relationship to the linguistic Other that is created in the text. Multilingualism in literature can be used to describe encounters between different linguistic communities but it can also express a more intimate, poetic relationship with languages. This twofold tendency is illustrated in those two works, despite their different literary genres.
