Vol. 44 No. 79 (2012): Spanish in the colonial Andes: texts, authors and discourses

January to June 2012.

This monographic issue is entitled "The Spanish in the Colonial Andes" and presents articles by Ofelia Huamanchumo, Wulf Oesterreicher, Eva Stoll, Carlos Garatea, Ulrike Kolbinger and Álvaro Ezcurra. His attention is particularly focused on three essential aspects of colonial linguistics: first, written texts as primary sources; second, the actors, who reveal the intention and functionality of the texts; and, thirdly, the study of discourse as an entity in which the relationships between speech acts and their results are revealed.
