Resumen

GALLARDO, Andrés. Andrés Bello and his Gramática de la lengua castellana: three highlights for the history of the common language. Boletín de Filología [online]. 2014, vol.49, n.1, pp.149-160. ISSN 0718-9303.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-93032014000100009.

Andrés Bello’s Gramática de la lengua castellana (1840) is a classic in the Spanish grammatical tradition, which nonetheless exhibits a surprising modernity. Three aspects of this book are shown which testify to its present-day currency: one, the cultural approach to grammar, two, the notion of language as a system of signs, applied to the description of word classes, and three, the description of pronouns as a type of word within the framework of the internal structure of the language.

Palabras clave : Andrés Bello; grammar; grammatical categories; pronoun.
