Abstract

KOźMIńSKI, Michał. Masiosare: A Strange… Case of Appellativization in Mexican Spanish. Anu. let. lingüíst. filol. [online]. 2022, vol.10, n.2, pp.183-210.  Epub Dec 12, 2022. ISSN 2448-8224.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.adel.2022.10.2.x00s25877.

The goal of the current article is to find and explain the evolutive processes that caused the coinage of a new proper name Masiosare and, parallelly, an appellative masiosare, based on a Mexican National Anthem’s verse. Furthermore, an intent of ascribing adequate definitions to the newly created lexical unit is made. In order to achieve that, four linguistic corpora: CDEHG, CORPES, CREA, CDENOW; and a series of examples found on the internet are made use of.

Keywords : masiosare; Mexican Spanish; appellativization; eponym.
