Americanisms in contemporary Spanish: a comparative lexicographic analysis of entries from a selected subject area (names of animals and plants)
HOVORKOVÁ, Žaneta
The aim of this thesis is primarily to clarify the meaning of the term Americanism. For this reason, the thesis is mainly aimed at explaining it in all its meanings to avoid its misuse. In addition, the thesis deals with the phenomenon of language contact, especially in the context of the interaction between Spanish and indigenous languages. A secondary objective of the thesis is to evaluate the completeness of the three dictionaries in terms of the interpretation of selected representatives of flora and fauna. Specifically, these are the Diccionario de la lengua espa?ola (Real Academia Espa?ola, 1780-2023), the Diccionario de americanismos (Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Espa?ola, 2010) and the Španělsko-český slovník amerikanismů (Černý, 2018). In this context, the thesis includes the subject of lexicography and a description of the dictionary structure. The empirical part of the thesis consists of comparing the interpretations of twenty selected Americanisms in the field of names of animals and plants in the above-mentioned dictionaries. An output glossary is also included.
