Resumo
This paper analyzes the texts introducing the dictionaries of the Spanish Royal Academy of Language in the first half of the nineteenth century (1803-1843). The analysis is aimed at highlighting their promotional strategies, linking them to the contemporary publishing industry against the background of lexicographical principles then and now. It shall also reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the dictionaries they introduce, as seen by their authors. Ultimately, it shall show how the dictionaries published by the Spanish Royal Academy became the core of Spanish lexicography and what advertising strategies were used to accomplish this.
