Published 18-02-2025

The main purpose of this article is to analyze the ideological change that Mariano Barreto projects in his work Idioma y letras (1904). The author, belonging to the purist trend at first, progressively modifies his understanding of the language spoken in Nicaragua, and even confers a certain positive value to some aspects of its variety. After presenting the figure of the author and the context in which he publishes his work, both the preliminary pages and the interior of the body of the text are analyzed with the aim of identifying the author's linguistic attitudes at a relevant historical moment for the construction of the Central American Spanish.

This study examines the superhero lexicon in poetry written in Spanish, analyzing how terms commonly found in DC and Marvel comics influence poetic expression and contribute to the creation of new mythologies. The transfer of specialized lexicon to common language, and vice versa, enables voices associated with specific semantic fields, such as those related to the urban world or science fiction, to be integrated into and transform poetic language. The research, based on poems by Mexican and Spanish authors, reveals that the superheroic lexicon not only enriches the language but also reflects feelings of nostalgia and yearning, which deepen reflection and the exploration of complex themes. Additionally, the study highlights morphological patterns in word formation and the impact of these processes on readers' imaginative visualization. The study suggests that this type of lexicon, driven by intermediality, fosters intertextuality and opens up new avenues for future research in linguistics and literature.
