Crusca frente Autoridades: análisis contrastivo (con especial atención al tratamiento de la fraseología)

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the lexicographical activities of the two academies, founded in Italy and in spain the 16th. and 18th centuries, the Vocabolario degli Accademici della Crusca (1612) and the Diccionario de Autoridades (1726-39). After a general view about the origins of both academies, and after having delineated the reasons that led to the making of the works, my intention is to show the divergences and the parallelisms between these two dictionaries. I have analysed the prologues in order to find out which principles the academics had established, and to prove the effective use of the theoretical postulates exposed in the prefaces in the structure of the work. Subsequently, I'd studied the idiom, its treatment and inclusion in the dictionaries' macro and microstucture.
