La articulación de los sonidos en la lexicografía del español (siglos XIX y XX)

Abstract

This paper examines the Spanish dictionaries of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the phonetic descriptions of vowel and consonant system of Spanish found in the articles devoted to the letters of the alphabet and the voices on the phonetics. Contrasts the dictionaries of the Real Academia Española (RAE) and non-academics, the relationship between lexicographical, grammatical and spelling. It proposes a periodization in the treatment of phonetic descriptions in dictionaries and examines the impact of proposed reforms of the Spanish spelling. We conclude that the development of phonetics in Spain had no influence on the treatment of letters / sounds in lexicographical works well into the twentieth century.
