«La grandeza y perfección de nuestra lengua»: Alabanzas del español en peritextos del siglo XVIII

Abstract

El Setecientos representa un periodo de notable complejidad en el panorama político de la Península ibérica. España hacía su ingreso en el siglo como potencia mundial con un pasado imperial a sus espaldas, cuyo vívido recuerdo permaneció cristalino en la memoria colectiva de los ciudadanos por mucho tiempo. Sin embargo, el escenario políticamente crítico que se perfiló tras la Guerra de Sucesión, contribuyó ampliamente a la propagación de tensiones e inquietudes, exacerbadas por el paulatino ascenso de Francia y de su lengua, cuya subida empezó a amenazar la hegemonía que el castellano había tenido hasta ese momento. En un esfuerzo por contrarrestar la influencia transpirenaica y reafirmar la supremacía española, algunos intelectuales españoles se dedicaron a escribir defensas y exaltaciones del castellano, eligiendo, en algunos casos, los peritextos de sus obras como espacios privilegiados para llevar a cabo sus alabanzas. El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar las estrategias lingüísticas y retóricas empleadas en las defensas del castellano en seis peritextos de obras de corte lingüístico publicadas a lo largo del siglo XVIII, mostrando cómo, en determinadas instancias, dichos elogios logran trascender la dimensión puramente lingüística para convertirse en auténticas apologías de la nación.
