Escrituras e impresos efímeros del siglo XIX: Espacios en el continuum diacrónico de la lengua

Abstract

The ephemeral writings and prints of the 19^th century hide linguistic phenomena (changes, innovations and reflections) that must be rescued for the diachronic study of language. The monograph number 9 of the Anuari Journal of Philology is dedicated to the study of this topic. This introductory contribution has three objectives: firstly, to highlight the characteristics attributed to the ephemeral in the linguistic field; secondly, to make known the marquillas cigarreras cubanas as a documentary source for the study of the Spanish language of the nineteenth century; and thirdly, to present the five articles that make up the monographic section. These articles, although diverse in the linguistic themes that they discuss (historical morphosyntax, discursive traditionality, translation, lexicon history, linguistic models, evidentiality, subjectivation), share the use of ephemeral writings and prints written during the 19^th century (letters, press, diaries...) as a common object of study.
