Tradición discursiva y fronteras culturales: procedimientos lingüísticos de transmisión informativa en algunos libros de viajes medievales
Keywords:
historical pragmatics, travel books, discursive traditions, linguistic reformulationAbstract
The present study examines, within Historical Pragmatics, the linguistic ways for information transfer of a foreign reality to a recipient who is not present and with whom the issuer shares, therefore, a null context. For this purpose, we have chosen two medieval travel books, the Embajada a Tamorlán, attributed to Ruy González de Clavijo, and Andanças e viajes of Pedro Tafur, both from the 15th century. The hypothesis of this work claims that the discursive tradition to which these texts belong determines its textual construction and is responsible for the selection of linguistic mechanisms for the expression of foreign reality, within which several forms of linguistic reformulation prevail, such as metalinguistic use, interlingual translation or comparisons with local elements.
