Cuba: realidades e imaginarios lingüísticos profundiza en las creencias, percepciones y actitudes de los hablantes cubanos sobre la lengua española. Estas se van tejiendo, por un lado, con postulados lingüísticos de diferentes disciplinas y, por otro, con el contexto histórico, político y social particular de la Cuba de las últimas décadas. Los datos en los que se basa el análisis se han tomado de los cuestionarios aplicados en la capital cubana como parte del proyecto panhispánico Linguistic Identity and Attitudes in Spanish-Speaking Latin America (Proyecto LIAS) y de la tesis doctoral "Actitudes lingüísticas en el Caribe insular hispánico". De ellos se derivan reflexiones encaminadas a descifrar y legitimar la subjetividad lingüística de los cubanos, comprender sus motivaciones y apuntar sus implicaciones en cuestiones de lengua e identidad.
