Title: | The Americanization of Spanish and Indigenous Vocabulary in the Seventeenth Century: A Case Study of the Historia del Huérfano (1621) | Authors: | Cáceres Lorenzo, M. Teresa | UNESCO Clasification: | 5702 Lingüística diacrónica | Issue Date: | 2023 | Journal: | Bulletin of Hispanic Studies | Abstract: | The Americanization of Spanish vocabulary and the incorporation of Indigenous American terms in Spanish texts follows a process that began in the sixteenth century and continued into the following century. Criollo society showed lexical preferences as well as other processes that went on to shape Latin American Spanish. The aim of this study is to present textual evidence through a case study of the literary and historiographical work Historia del Huérfano (1621) written by a Spanish clergyman who was involved in Lima society at the time when he was writing. The text does not evince an author who was interested in the Indigenous peoples and their culture. The use of a comparative methodology with texts from different repositories has allowed us to find evidence of a vocabulary that can be defined as American due to the extent to which it is spread among different authors. La americanización del léxico hispánico y la incorporación del indoamericanismo en textos españoles sigue un proceso que se inicia en el siglo XVI y que continúa en la siguiente centuria. La sociedad criolla muestra sus preferencias léxicas además de otros procesos que van configurando el español americano. El objetivo de esta investigación es presentar evidencias textuales a través del estudio de caso con la obra literaria e historiográfica Historia del Huérfano (1621) escrita por un eclesiástico español integrado en la sociedad limeña en el momento de su escritura. No se evidencia en el texto de un autor interesado por los indígenas y su cultura. El uso de una metodología comparativa con textos de distintos repositorios ha permitido encontrar evidencias de un vocabulario que es posible definirlo como americano por su grado de difusión en distintos autores. |
