¡Tienen tela estos inventarios! A study of three lexical pairs related to textiles in archival documentation from the Early Modern period.
Abstract
The inventory of goods text type is highly valuable for studying historical vocabulary. Its onomasiological structure and the division of content into lexico-semantic areas allow for clear parallels with the structure of linguistic atlases, as both reflect the relationship between material reality and its expression through words. Thus, analyzing historical inventories from a corpus linguistics perspective can provide diatopic information and help map historical linguistic data. In this study, we focus on textile vocabulary found in modern inventories from the ODE corpus. Our main goal is to identify potential lexical equivalents that have not yet included in the Diccionario Histórico del español (DHE). Furthermore, by using the ODE corpus’s map-based search tool, we illustrate the possible diatopic dependence of the terms that form equivalent lexical pairs.
