El léxico del español en su historia (LEHist) Lexicon of Spanish language in its history (LEHist)

The research group focuses on studying lexical units – both simple and complex – of the Spanish language, with special attention paid to the relationship between words and the sociohistorical context where these originated, were acquired from other languages or acquired a new meaning. The research activities are not subject to chronological or geographical restrictions: as a matter of fact, projects and studies may consider any age of Spanish language and may include panhispanic items or terms relating to a specific area of Spanish speaking territories. The research will be carried out by consulting both lexicographic sources and corpora. The pursuits of LEHist group are marked by a contrastive and multilingual approach: part of the research will consist in comparing items extracted from Hispanic texts to lexicon from other languages (especially Italian, French, English and Portuguese) and their respective dictionaries. One of the current lines of research applies to Spanish technical and scientific lexicon from 18th and 19th century. The research group includes prof. Natividad Gallardo San Salvador (Departamento de Traducción e Interpretación, Universidad de Granada). LEHist group is part of the international network Red Temática Lengua y Ciencia (https://www.lenguayciencia.net/).
