    Ezquerra del Bayo y la lengua de la minería del siglo XIX
    (2018-02-26) Gutiérrez Cuadrado, Juan
    It seems right to assert that in the XVIII and XIX centuries the Spaniards had access to the modern science through the French language. But this should be revise during the XIX century. In fact, during the XIX century, other European languages, spe- cially English and to a lesser degree German, appeared in different texts. Thus, as the cen- tury goes on, the loans from the French lan- guage not always are due to the preassure of the French culture, as in the XVIII, but to the natural acceptance of the Spaniards of loans from other Roman languages. Thus, we know the etymology of certain terms but we ignore their origin in Spanish. I would like to draw the attention to these complex relations on the works of Ezquerra del Bayo (1793 – 1859) geologist and expert in mining who left cultural and linguistic comments on his works.

    El uso de la lengua alemana y latina en Alemania en el periodo del humanismo renacentista
    (2018-01-18) Monreal Pérez, Juan Luis
    During the Renaissance humanism in Germany there existed an outstand- ing linguistic diversity that contributed to its linguistic cultural heritage, even though that the hegemonic use of the Latin language at schools, at the universities, in the political life and at every institution in general, reduced the use of the German language. This situation explains that Latin was the linguistic instrument used by German humanists, since the own concept of humanism includes such adoption; however, not all German humanists used that language exclusively, some of them employed simultaneously both languages, German and Latin, what favored the richness and linguistic diversity of Germany at this time.
