Algunos vocablos del léxico capilar en el español de México : Octavio Cano Silva, Ioana Alexandrescu

Absztrakt

Our paper deals with some words
belonging to the hair-related vocabulary in
Mexican Spanish. It aims to track these words
in five recent dictionaries of Spanish, in order
to achieve a panoramic view on two issues:
their coverage and the way they are dealt with
in these dictionaries. The five dictionaries
compared are the following: Diccionario del
español de México, Diccionario de la lengua española
by the Real Academia Española, Diccionario
escolar, Diccionario de mexicanismos y Diccionario
académico de americanismos. The methodological
contribution of our paper lies on the fact that it
puts on the same level these dictionaries, while
the point of comparison usually is the Real
Academia Española's dictionary, and its cultural
one is given by the attempt to retrieve words
that are very common and widely used in
Mexican Spanish but lack lexicographical
registration.
