Variación y variantes: el cambio léxico cuatrocentista a través de la intertestimonialidad

Abstract

This paper addresses the profitability of intertestimonial linguistic analysis within the research of lexical changes. In order to do this, the present article displays a series of examples from which variation sequencing and motivations can be extracted, according to the compiled lexical variants from the handwritten tradition of the Middle Ages. The target is to expose how intertestimonial analysis is an indispensable tool in the study of lexical changes; therefore, this study will also offer a first taxonomy of this language variant.
