Study of the lexicon used in documents of the war of independence of the central Cuban region

Abstract

Within the HISDELE project, in the last four years, progress has been made in the analysis of documents from the wars of independence of the western, central and eastern regions, with special attention to the lexical level. In this case, two memoir texts from the war in the central-eastern region are studied with the aim of collecting vocabulary related to the wars of independence. The most significant results are concentrated in the peculiar voices that allude to the geographical settings, weapons, food and the actors of the war.
