La lengua literaria americana en la crí­tica de entresiglos

Abstract

A search for a sociolinguistic community interlaced the proposals for the symbolic organization of the national states and other units of the region until far into the twentieth century. This search helped to outline a tradition of criticism that interweaves diverse stances and interventions about American language literary uses, while asserting its importance as a matrix for ethical, social and cultural diversity. This paper examines a number of critical texts produced in the Hispanic-American region between 1880-1920 which reproduce uses of literary language in relation with several debates on political-linguistic options that took place in those times.
