- Abstract
The great novel by Fernández de Lizardi provides abundant and precise information about American Spanish at the time of the Independence, the Mexican one in particular. In this literary corpus historians may find sufficient data for a bulky descriptive monograph, and explicative, as well, of that important synchrony of our language in American land, with adequate documentation that phenomena considered by some people as recent, had already consolidated. The Pensador Mexicano provides the reader with images about the sociolinguistic diversity of his homeland, where successive novelistic situations are opposed, lower class language being occasionally characterized with formal profusion. The extreme normative, or modellic, duality present in that Mexico breaking off from the metropolis is thus manifested. We shall devote several articles to the study of this phenomenon, starting with this one.
