Abstract:
This is the second volume to be dedicated to the pioneering linguistic workproduced by the religious missionaries who, within the scope of theEuropean colonial enterprises along the period 1550-1850, described dozensof autochthonous languages, many of which are only known today thanks totheir endeavours. The twelve papers joint in the present volume - whichdedicated a special attention to the orthographical and phonologicaldimension of their work - provide a comprehensive picture of thedescriptive problems faced by these linguists avant la lettre, notably: thedifficulties faced before the less familiar features of these languages,such as vowel quantity, accentuation, tonality, nasalization,glottalization, 'gutturalization'; the building of (re)definitions and thecreation of a new metalanguage, like 'saltillo', 'guturaciones', etc.; thecreativity and innovations proposed by individual missionaries and theinstructive and pedagogical dimension of their work.
