Algunos problemas de historia de la lengua latina

Abstract

Tendencies seeking regularity and rationality are important in the history of any language, specially in that of its lexicon. They are very often the determinant factor in the creation of new words which sometimes proceed from the socially accepted initiative of a single person, sometimes originate out of the «belles lettres» Literature. The will of speakers and writers has its importance. These ideas are proved with several Greek and, specially, later and Christian Latin instances. Many of these vulgarisms show a will of regularization.
