- Abstract
This article studies the linguistic attitudes towards Mexican Spanish that are found in Joaquín García Icazbalceta's dictionary. We follow the model of linguistic attitudes formulated by López Morales (1991), aided by approaches to historical sociolinguistics summarized in Milroy (2014) and Langer and Nesse (2014). We focus on the attitudes formulated in definitions. The aim of our study is to identify the patterns of positive and negative attitudes as expressed in the dictionary. We will try to underline a desire to consider Mexican Spanish to be a national variation as valid as the European, or "academic", standard. In this sense, García Icazbalceta's dictionary can be considered to be one of the first manifestations of a Mexican national (and linguistic) identity in the field of lexicography.
