Abstract

In this article I analyze the structure and development of Infoling (https://infoling.org/), an online network for dissemination of global information on Hispanic linguistics, which began its activity in 1996, and has continued its task for more than 25 years. I present the process that led us to determine the functional and organizational structure of Infoling, as well as the definition of its contents, among which research on second languages (L2) has a relevant place. Likewise, I analyze the terms "Spanish language" and "Hispanic linguistics" in order to redefine them apart from ideological conceptualizations. Finally, I examine the creation and development of Infoling's new information channels, which allows Infoling to distribute book reviews and research papers on linguistic historiography. As for the immediate future, I examine the use of audiovisual platforms and metaverses, and their relevance to the dissemination of information on Hispanic linguistics
