Cádiz, España
The main objective of this work is to contribute to the study of grammatical reception and linguistic attitudes by examining some marginal sources of the Spanish language in Colonial America and during the first years of independence. The temporal delimitation that underlies this geographical space is another variable for determining the traces that grammatical thought has left in its historical development, since it seems that its transmission was justified or modified by certain socio-cultural and political conditions that have little to do with the successes or failures manifested in a specific grammatical theory. In other words, an approach to the allusions to grammatical treatises manifested in the different spaces of public opinion of a specific time and place, as well as to the set of linguistic attitudes that determine the concern for the methods leading to the teaching of languages, both dead and living, as well as languages in contact, would entail the study of a set of socio-cultural and ideological variables that will undoubtedly help to clarify why and how the transmission and reception of grammatical theories and linguistic attitudes was channeled in the period and geographical space under study.
