    Los recursos que aparacen en Extinción de ¿vos¿ en el español peninsular esclarecen diversos reajustes sufridos por ¿vos¿ en el repertorio hispano peninsular durante el Siglo de Oro. Se dilucidan, además, los portentos extra-lingüísticos y los reajustes socio-comunicativos que surgieron en ese ámbito durante esa época. Paradójicamente, la mayoría de los elementos extra-lingüísticos que se analizan están relacionados con la pérdida del porte mayestático de ¿vos¿. Igualmente, se han observado rasgos que responsabilizan a diáspora ultramarina (Indianos) por las permutaciones sociolingüísticas que se generaron en España durante esas centurias. Tras el descrédito de ¿vos¿, los interlocutores comienzan a rechazar vehementemente este sociolecto, entre tanto, tu y vuestra merced ¿ usted comenzaron a disputarse el pedestal que ostentase el desvalido contendiente. La dinámica diacrónica establece, que, pese a la desaparición de ¿vos¿ en su lar de origen, una variante suya se reinstauró en el Nuevo Mundo. Cabe destacar, que este estudio diacrónico podría generar o contribuir en diversas investigaciones sobre los pronombres de tratamiento correspondientes al castellano peninsular.

  • - Campos, Posadas y Tabernas
     
    1.098,95 kr.

    La gavilla de artículos reunidos en este volumen forma un conjunto coherente de ensayos en torno a un tema común, la vida en la Andalucía rural en sus múltiples aspectos culturales, contada por viajeros extranjeros a lo largo de los dos siglos pasados. Con mayor o menor énfasis recalan en temas como la variedad y belleza del paisaje, en las costumbres culinarias, en las posadas y tabernas, en las diversiones, en fin, y las costumbres populares y folclóricas. Al tiempo, inciden en curiosas y sabrosas anécdotas que viven en persona de primera mano. Ello hace de esta singular antología una lectura jugosa y entretenida tanto para estudiantes como académicos interesados por los lazos entre culturas. En ella se brindan frecuentes encrucijadas de caminos y encuentros multiculturales sobre los que los curiosos viajeros escriben, asombrados unas veces y perplejos otras, al enfrentar costumbres y tradiciones tan alejadas de su propio acervo cultural. Esos rasgos distintivos, que tan acusados se perfilan en el agro andaluz, con el tiempo se han ido nivelando merced a la modernización de los medios de transporte y la transformación del espacio rural de antaño. Los viajeros aquí destacados, en su mayoría mujeres y hombres británicos y franceses, fueron sin duda testigos fieles y excepcionales del transcurrir de la vida cotidiana en esta peculiar y atractiva región de España. Los autores aquí reunidos han escrito todos ellos tesis, libros o artículos que iluminan de forma amena distintas facetas del poliédrico tema.
