This article examines two narrative texts published in Peru during the sixties: Los inocentes. Relatos de collera ([1961] 2011) by Oswaldo Reynoso (1932-2016), and Los cachorros (1967) by Mario Vargas Llosa. The analysis focuses on the construction of identities among the adolescent subjects who star in them, considering elements such as social class, generation, gender, territory, language and others, as part of the emergence of the so-called “youth cultures” in western societies since the fifties. In addition, it recognizes the differences between both narratives in terms of the representation of youth cultures, particularly with respect to the relationship that adolescent subjects establish with hegemonic culture.

The object of this article is twofold: on the first hand, to give an account of the enormous and growing number of derivatives formed from Anglicisms in present-day European Spanish; and secondly, to examine the different derivational patterns found as well as the morphophonological, morphological and semantic variations involved in them. The article also tackles the lexicographic treatment followed in dictionaries when dealing with compound anglicisms. The data have been mainly drawn from the Spanish daily press of the last few decades and they are mostly part of those collected in the Gran diccionario de anglicismos, GDA (2017) and in the recent Diccionario de anglicismos del deporte, DAD (2021).

Experts agree that there have been significant changes in the way dictionaries are planned and produced. One of them is the search for channels from which the collaboration between theoretical linguistics and lexicography can be intensified; nevertheless, the formulae needed to prevent such postulate from being a mere statement of intent are not always adequately fixed. Corpora are tools which enable that relationship, and they are a reference for the establishment of definition models applicable to homogeneous groups of words, in our case, the nouns designating agricultural tools, which have received a very heterogeneous lexicographic treatment in the last edition of the Diccionario de la lengua española (DLE) by RAE.

This article explores the examples of the Quechua grammars composed between 1560 and 1753: a total of nine missionary arts. It analyses the marking of the examples, their topics, their function and their origin so that, on the one hand, it brings to light the links that exist between the grammars of this tradition and, on the other hand, it connects the examples used by the missionaries with the didactic and evangelizing purposes of these grammatical texts. To this end, this paper focuses on the analysis of the chapters related to nouns.

The article explores the possibility and conditions of a figural interpretation of the Libro de Alexandre. It proposes, in line with recent takes on the mester de clerecía masterpiece, that treason, as an iterative event and as a moral nucleus of the poem, configures an ideal entry point for apprehending the structure of the text and its poetic self-awareness. We provide a matrix for the scrutiny of the diverse instances of betrayal in the text and we envision a way to assess its validity in contemporary literature written in Spanish.

Since the studies of Alfredo Torero, Ecuadorian-Colombian Quechua is often considered to come from a variety that was formerly spoken on the central coast of Peru and introduced into Ecuador through maritime trade long before the formation of the Inca empire. Based on a dialectal comparison and an examination of historical sources, we refute this thesis and show that Northern Quechua is the product of a strong influence of Cuzco Quechua on the speech of the North Peruvian settlers that were brought by the Incas into Ecuador. Finally, this case study leads us to question the genetic classification of Quechua dialects proposed by Torero.

On December 2, 1915, in Azángaro (Puno), there was a peasant uprising on the San José farm. The sources that recorded this event indicate that an Inca-inspired leader who called himself “Rumi Maki Ccori Zoncco” participated in said rebellion. Contemporary writers and journalists and even subsequent researchers have written about this legendary figure, whose real name might have been Teodomiro Gutiérrez Cuevas (1864-¿?). Although in some cases we can observe analyses from a cultural approach (incaistas or indigenistas, for example), I believe that there has been no detailed explanation of the cultural implications from those who dedicated lines to Rumi Maki’s figure. For this reason, my main purpose is to read the San José uprising in that direction. To this end, I will use three rhetoric modalities: the incaista (José Carlos Mariátegui), the indigenista (Dora Mayer, Manuel González Prada, Francisco Chukiwanka) and the gamonalista (Sebastián Urquiaga, Angelino Lizares). From here on, I will analyze the the rethorical type of each writing modality that represented Rumi Maki.

In the ideology of the modern poet, childhood represented the lust for knowledge, the playful-experimental impulse and the material conscience of art. These features can be distinguished in the work of Luis Hernandez, who, revaluing childhood, set out the playful impulse and innocence as keys to an original artistic production. Identifying himself with the purity of a child, on a thematic level, the poet questioned the indolence and the organizational and alienating eagerness of all authoritarianism. As for the use of technical-formal instruments, he practiced with them just like a child experiments with his play objects, exploiting his possibilities, carefree and irreverent. That said, our objective is to show how his reinterpretation of childhood influenced his questioning of the processes of writing, distribution and reception of literature.

This article proposes an interpretation of Michel Houellebecq’s novel The Elementary Particles from a gender perspective, focusing especially on the notion of masculinity in crisis. To this end, we criticize the premises with which the author develops his thesis on sexual liberation and we show and revise the identity implications with which his characters are constructed as men in crisis. Likewise, the article questions the place that violence occupies in Houellebecq’s work and in what sense it is provocative.

We analyzed the size and composition of the receptive and productive vocabulary of Spanish-speaking Peruvian children in two age groups: 8 to 15 and 16 to 30 months. We look for significant changes in size based on the age and gender of the children. Regarding the composition of the vocabulary, we consider only those items that occupy the first 50 positions as long as they are understood or produced by at least 50% of the children, and we analyze them on the basis of an exhaustive list of grammatical categories and the children´s age. Finally, we explore the existence of correlations between certain grammatical categories whose syntactic relations could suggest a parallel development, and we compare our results with those of similar studies.

Independently of the generative and enunciative theories, the dynamic structuralism of the Saussurian tradition has made it possible to set out the problem of semiosis, which is understood as the individuation of the sign from a structural germ. At a higher level of complexity, the processes that preside over this individuation seem to also govern the composition of texts. Certain literary and pictorial examples make it possible to detect them, and they confirm that reflection on the arts is a major area of general and comparative semiotics.

The concept of discursive traditions today enjoys widespread consensus in the field of language history. This work offers some reasons and examples that justify its usefulness in the history of American Spanish and, in it, of the effects and expressions of contact with the indigenous languages of America. The purpose is simple: to appreciate the relevance of discursive traditions in the formation of American Spanish.

This article analyses the reception of the concept of discourse tradition (DT) in Hispanic and Brazilian linguistic research. It gives an account of the principles, methods and orientations that have underpinned this approach to analysis in Spain, Latin America and Brazil. Its purpose is to be useful both for those who need information on the main references to be highlighted, in the regional areas delimited for this study, in relation to the DTs paradigm, and, above all, for those who seek to get an idea of the methodological pillars on which this current of historical linguistics is based.
