Ideological elements in the phraseological units with the word woman in the Academic Dictionary of the XVIIIth and XIXth centuries

Journal Title: Textos en Proceso - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2

Abstract

This paper explores ideological elements regarding gender in phraseological units with the word mujer(‘woman’) in the different editions of the dictionarypublished by Real Academia Española during the 18th and the 19th centuries. First, the ideological content in the phraseological units themselves is analyzed. Second, phenomena related to subjectivity in the definitions are analyzed: this evidences subjectivity not only in the different phraseological units presented in the dictionary, but also in the discourse of the academics. In order to approach the first issue, a typology of the different phraseological units according to their syntactic-semantic properties is provided: this categorization shows the type of role given to women in the phraseological units, based, for example, on the types of elements with which the noun woman/womencombines. In order to consider the second issue, linguistic subjectivity is analyzed through a description of the moments in which the academics let their own voice appear in the definitions, in relation to moral and prescriptive issues.
