This article examines the spread of mainly lexical andalusianisms in the 19th century and their perception in the press. On the basis of various journalistic texts, the ideas and linguistic attitudes towards these provincialisms and their place in the general language will be analysed with the usual reference to academic work and its criteria. The conclusions underline the importance of these textual sources for the study of the history of linguistic dialectalisms in relation to the creation of a national linguistic standard and show the emergence of a centralist ideology and its multiple contradictions.
