Traducción del mundo animal: El caso del Vocabulario de lengua guarani de Blas Pretovio

A bilingual Spanish-Guarani dictionary from the 18th century, compiled by Jesuit Blas Pretovio, reveals significant insights into lexicographic practices and cultural exchanges during the Jesuit missions. The study focuses on animal names in the dictionary, demonstrating how translation mechanisms reflect differences in extralinguistic reality. This analysis not only sheds light on the state of Spanish language at the time but also provides a window into the linguistic and cultural dynamics within the Guarani missions. The research contributes to the understudied field of Hispanic-Amerindian lexicography, offering a deeper understanding of missionary linguistics.
