Tradiciones discursivas en la historia del español americano. Difusión, contacto y desafíos
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2021-12-15)
The concept of discursive traditions today enjoys widespread consensus in the field of language history. This work offers some reasons and examples that justify its usefulness in the history of American Spanish and, in it, of the effects and expressions of contact with the indigenous languages of America. The purpose is simple: to appreciate the relevance of discursive traditions in the formation of American Spanish.

Discourse traditions and the history of American Spanish: Social settings, contacts, ideologies and challenges
(De Gruyter, 2022-11-07)
From the works of Peter Koch and Wulf Oesterreicher to the present, the concept of DTs has had an unusual diffusion and acceptance (cf. ↗7 International diffusion of the discourse traditions model; ↗4 Discourse traditions and the historicity of language: discourse traditional knowledge and discourse universes; ↗23 Discourse traditions in the history of European Spanish). There is practically general consensus today on its usefulness. However, there are still fields in which the reach of the notion needs to be further explored. One of them is the history of American Spanish. This chapter offers a general and introductory approach to the subject and points out new research paths. Although the chapter focuses broadly on American Spanish, most of the references are centered on Peru, for two main reasons: (a) Peru shares with all of Spanish America the same TDs that irradiated during the colonial period, but (b) nevertheless, Peru also differs from other spaces in that it offers documents written by bilinguals displaying the effects of contact between Spanish and Quechua within those general DTs.

Types of initialized signs in Peruvian Sign Language (LSP): A proposal for classification
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, 2024-06-30)
The aim of this study is to classify initialized signs in Peruvian Sign Language (LSP). For this purpose, a Peruvian Deaf con-sultant participated in the research, who, based on his grammatical judgment as a LSP native signer, identified, from a set of data, those signs that were created via initialization, which were subsequently analyzed by the author of this study. The results show these signs in LSP can be classified on the basis of three criteria: 1) according to their number of letters, they are grouped into two major classes, those representing one letter and those representing more than one letter; 2) according to their origin, they are grouped into two major classes, those originating from other signs and those that do not, and 3) according to their meaning relations, they are divided into six classes: initialized signs as cases of homonymy, initialized signs as cases of synonymy, initialized signs with meanings of the subdomain > domain type, initialized signs with meanings of the domain > subdomain type, initialized signs with meanings of the subdomain > subdomain type, and initialized signs that are organized in sign families. It is concluded that Spanish has left an important imprint on word-formation in LSP.

Internal order and areal patterns in South Asian numerals
(De Gruyter, 2025-01-01)
The linguistic diversity present in South Asia stems from its historical mix of cultures, as well as its heterogeneous topography. This diversity can be observed in numeral systems, which play an important role in cognitive and cultural history. We provide the first typological overview of numeral systems in South Asia, presenting a database of 122 languages – mostly Austroasiatic, Dravidian, Indo-Aryan, and Tibeto-Burman, with a majority of data from original fieldwork. We also provide a framework for analyzing numeral systems based on the internal ordering of their complex numerals (teens, crowns, running numbers, hundreds, and thousands). Quantitative analyses based on decision trees and phylogenetic regressions suggest that internal ordering of complex numerals are generally stable in each language family along history, although horizontal transmission due to historical contact phenomena are observed as well. Our study also has a societal impact: the diversity of numeral systems featured here is quickly disappearing, and we claim that it is of the utmost importance to document and preserve it.
