Message 1: Spanish articles with letters

Subject: Spanish articles with letters

In an conversation with a colleage of mine, the following question
arose:

If one were to refer to letters and consonants in Spanish, the article
is usually omited. Thus, one could say, "En en aleman bajo, "h" en
"th" es muda pero afecta "t" de tal manera que se pronuncia como "d"
en Castellano".

Since Spanish is not really my area of expertise, if this sentence is
faulty, I apologize. The question we had yesterday was: if we would
like to use the article, how does one determine the "gender" of the
letters. Can one say "la H" or "el H" or the article is definitely
out? Any literature on this topic?

Subject: Films/Videos


I'm putting together a collection of films/videos in which language in
one way or another is the central theme. For example,

The Miracle Worker
Pygmalion and My Fair Lady
The Wild Child (Truffaut)
Nell

I'd be grateful for any additional suggestions or pointers to existing
sources. Many thanks.
