- Abstract
The Chronicles of the Indies are texts with a medieval pattern which is renewed in America. One of their most outstanding features is how the chroniclers use the Indian lexicon. Knowing and using properly Taino loans show significantly that the chronicler had a great deal of experience in American matters. A tainism in a chronicle may be an element that gives it authenticity. In previous studies, the parameters that determine the presence of such words are the following: the author's Caribbean experience, the time spent in America, when and where the work is written, and job. Our research analyzes and relates these parameters in twenty-two writers (1492-1648) in order to know which factor is determining the use of Taino words.
