EL TRATAMIENTO DE LA MUJER EN EL LÉXICO DE AMBROSIO DE SALAZAR
Abstract
The Espexo General de Gramática en diálogos is a remarkable contribution to the diachronic study of Spanish. Its author, Ambrosio de Salazar, stands out as an remarkable theorist of Linguistic Historiography in the field of foreign language teaching. His contribution as a lexicographer, however, has remained unnoticed despite the fact that the Cartagena-born grammarian devotes part of his “Jornada VI” and all his “Jornada VII” to the study of vocabulary. Through his pages and by contextualising the words selected, the author seeks to show how Spanish vocabulary was used. From this perspective, we can confirm that this section is the most original and interesting from a linguistic point of view owing to the abundance of expressions used. Based on the headwords he chooses, we have been able to establish how in his work the misogynist tendency of imposed archetypes inherited from mediaeval tradition is still present. His obsessive attitude against women is explicit from the explanations given in the entries studied. Likewise, comparison of this lexicon with the various lexicographical repertoires published in the Golden Age provides an insight into the value of the Espexo as a dictionary.Downloads
