This paper aims to explore gender splitting in Spanish regarding the denomination of male and female children in the nineteenth century. In this study we have analyzed historical facts as sexual segregation in the schools, as well as the pragmatic-discoursive necessity that speakers have of referring to sex. Moreover, we examine the way in which the nineteenth-century press could be a very interesting framework concerning the concept of discoursive traditions on that phenomenon. Here we have studied a small corpus of texts where gender splitting occurred. And for that purpose, we have coined a new methodological instrument from cognitive sociolinguistics as "gendered sociolinguistic universe" where this discoursive strategy could be explored.

The aim of this article is to reflect on linguistic sexism, a kind of discrimination that has women as an object and language as an instrument. Sexist language either ignores women, or treats them as men, or represents them as an exception; such a use of language, which excludes or minimizes some social subjects, linguistically represents their self-denial and contributes to the permanence of common prejudices. The article analyzes two aspects of linguistic sexism: some asymmetries between masculine gender and feminine gender in the Spanish language; as well as some discriminatory linguistic expressions found in academic documents in the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico that hide or diminish the professional or student image of woman.

This article reports the results of a corpus analysis of lexical and syntactic transfers and discusses the role of Spanish L1 in the acquisition of Russian as a FL. The study focuses on the analysis of a corpus of 50 essays written by Spanish adults enrolled in the Official School of Languages of A Coruña. The aim of this paper is to identify interlinguistic and intralinguistic errors as well as to study the difficulty of these errors for Spanish-speaking learners of Russian as a FL in order to develop further pedagogical strategies adapted to their needs. Corpus analysis has shown that syntactic errors are more frequent than lexical ones. Specifically, the most frequent errors are those related to agreement in grammatical gender and verbal aspect.

Linguistic categorization refers to a mental process through which speakers differentiate in categories the world that surrounds them. Categorization, a concept already present in Aristotle, has been widely explored by linguistics, and some theories state that language imposes on users a set of categories as a result of the speakers' interaction between themselves and with the world and the general cognitive processes of concept formation (Taylor 1989). In this paper we comment on some highlights in linguistic studies regarding the relation between linguistic categories --specifically nominal classification systems-- and speakers' conceptions about the word, trying to incorporate to this field the contributions from investigators on indigenous languages of South America.

Recent research in endangered languages of South America has contributed to enrich the studies inn typological diversity. In this paper we looked into the marking of masculine gender in wayuunaiki (guajiro), a language of the Arawak family spoken by the wayuu people. This morphological feature, not frequently found in many languages of the world, is relatively common in Arawakan languages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
