Abstract

The article analyzes Joaquín García Icazbalceta's Vocabulary of Mexicanisms, published in 1905, and its importance in compiling words and expressions specific to Mexico. García Icazbalceta searched for provincialisms in novels and popular poetry, as well as in dictionaries and encyclopedias. His lexicographic project aimed to provide evidence of the history and usage of Mexican lexicon. The Vocabulary is considered a historical document and a source for studying the use of words in Mexico. Additionally, the sources used by the author to compile these words and expressions are mentioned. García Icazbalceta's Vocabulary of Mexicanisms is a lexicographic and historiographic work that showcases the diversity and persistence of voices in Mexico and America. The article also mentions the grammatical categories and usage markers used in the dictionary, as well as the definitions and usage examples. The vocabulary offers a valuable insight into the dissemination of Spanish and indigenous words in America and is an essential document for studying the history of Americanisms.
