Historia de la lexicografía hispanoamericana
The History of Hispanic-American Lexicography

Summary/Abstract: The present text is a summary of the history of Hispanic-American lexicography – an area of Spanish lexicography that is relatively rarely discussed in general lexicographic studies. As this topic is quite broad, the article opens with a discussion of the Hispanic-Amerindian lexicography in the colonial period from the first works to the independence stage. Then the main achievements of contemporary Hispanic-American lexicography are presented. At the end, a paragraph is dedicated to the challenges of the metalexicography in Spanish-speaking America. For a better understanding, the main text is preceded with a brief historical-cultural outline.
