| Description | The aim of the paper is to offer a qualitative study of lexicographic treatment that receive loanwords of Gypsy origin in the Dictionary of Latin American Expressions ("Diccionario de Americanismos") by Association of Academies of the Spanish Language ("Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Espaňola"). Attention will be paid to various aspects of its microstructure, mainly to its usage marcs (geographical area and level of usage, validity and frequency of usage) and the material obtained will be contrasted with the Royal Spanish Academy corpora, CREA and CORDE. The point is to find out if the lexicographic treatment that receives the Gypsy loanwords in the Dictionary corresponds, even only approximately, to their textual documentation available there. Another goal is to prove whether the Dictionary, and the Association of Academies, offers an adequate treatment for this part of Spanish vocabulary to its users. Unfortunately, Gypsy component Spanish lexicon tends to be generally forgotten by lexicographers and scholars in general. |
