The coexistence of two or several languages in the same linguistic space will not be deprived of "competition" and conflict. The prototype theory of the situation of conflict has two authors - L. Aracil and R. Ninyoles. The originality of the Catalano-Occitan sociolinguistics bases on the fact that the diglossia is considered a conflict in evolution,
complicated by a dilemma and fed by sociolinguistic representations. Generally, these representations are set against the dominated language and favourable, by consequence, against the situation of domination. Having some influence on the mentality and the verbal choice of communicators, these representations usually form an ideological group. The consequence of the diglossic conflict consists in either the linguistic replacement, when the dominant language exercises the functions of the dominated language, or in the linguistic nominalization, which consists in the
reconquest by the dominated language of its functions due to the verbal loyalty of the communicators and to the correct linguistic politics.
