New criminal slang terms in the second edition of the Diccionario de Autoridades (A research in progress)

Abstract

In the article we study the words of the Spanish Golden Age criminal slang missing in the first edition of the Diccionario de Autoridades (1726-1739), and included in the first volume of its second edition (1770) and in the handwritten catalogs for the following volumes, never completed, recently published on the website of the Spanish Royal Academy. We focus on their list published in the Dicciocho portal (https://dicciocho.org), which goes up to the letter F. The research endeavors to establish whether the reasons for their inclusion in the second edition of the dictionary can be deduced and whether they are related to specialty lexicon.
