We contrast the points of view expressed by Rudolf Lenz in La oración y sus partes (1920) with those raised by Andrés Bello in the Gramática de la lengua castellana destinada al uso de los americanos (1847), highlighting those in which Lenz openly disagrees with Bello's ideas. We find both explicit criticisms and rejections of theories, terms (connected with doctrinal divergences), or Bello's own descriptive issues or sustained (also or especially) by Bello. Such reproaches, which sometimes degenerate into invective, often present themselves well argued, but in other cases they are simply enunciated, such as dissenting opinions. The positions of Lenz on the margin or against Bello have a source in Lenz's own theoretical, terminological, grammaticographic or attitudinal conceptions. Additionally, we contextualize Lenz's intervention within the framework of his strategy of constructing a public image, of positioning and legitimization in the Chilean cultural field, in which he found considerable resistance and in which, therefore, the gesture of opposing Bello had greater resonance.
