SUMMARY:Richard Perceval and his Bibliotheca Hispanica (1591). Early Encounters Between the Spanish Language, its Culture and its Teaching with the English-Speaking Public

Considered one of the earliest accounts of Spanish language instruction in late 16th-century England and a milestone in the history of bilingual Spanish-English lexicography, the work combines a grammar and a lexical repertoire that allow for an exploration of the Spanish language from linguistic, pedagogical, historical and ideological perspectives.</span></p><p class="text-align-justify"><span lang="EN-US" dir="ltr">In short, the lecture aims to demonstrate that the </span><em><span lang="EN-US" dir="ltr">Bibliotheca Hispanica</span></em><span lang="EN-US" dir="ltr"> is not merely a grammar and a dictionary intended for learning Spanish, but rather a complex linguistic, educational and cultural project that reflects the growing interest in the Spanish language and culture in Elizabethan England and that plays a key role in the history of the origins of Spanish language instruction and lexicography in the English-speaking world, which would culminate in the 19th and early 20th centuries with the birth of the burgeoning American Hispanism.</span></p><p class="text-align-justify"><span lang="EN-US" dir="ltr">*********</span></p><p class="text-align-justify"><span>La </span><em><span>Bibliotheca Hispanica</span></em><span>, publicada en Londres en 1591 por el político e hispanista Richard Perceval, constituye una obra fundamental para comprender los primeros contactos sistemáticos entre la lengua española y el público angloparlante. Considerada uno de los testimonios más tempranos de la enseñanza del español en la Inglaterra de finales del siglo XVI y un hito en la historia de la lexicografía bilingüe español-inglés, la obra reúne una gramática y un repertorio léxico que permiten aproximarse a la lengua española desde perspectivas lingüísticas, didácticas, históricas e ideológicas.</span></p><p class="text-align-justify"><span>La conferencia pretende mostrar que la </span><em><span>Bibliotheca Hispanica</span></em><span> no constituye únicamente una gramática y un diccionario destinados al aprendizaje del español, sino un complejo proyecto lingüístico, didáctico y cultural que refleja el creciente interés por la lengua y la cultura españolas en la Inglaterra isabelina y que desempeña un papel clave en la historia de los orígenes de la enseñanza y la lexicografía del español en el mundo anglófono, que culminará a partir del siglo XIX y principios del XX en el nacimiento del pujante hispanismo estadounidense.</span></p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><drupal-media data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="7ea1945b-e7a8-434b-aa4f-92edc6e9acc7" data-align="center">&nbsp;</drupal-media><p class="text-align-justify">&nbsp;</p><p class="text-align-justify"><strong>Speaker: David Carrascosa</strong> (<em>Director del Centro de Lenguas, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Ciudad Real, Spain</em>)</p>
