ESPACIOS DE SOCIABILIDAD, CONVERSACIÓN Y ACTITUDES LINGÜÍSTICAS EN EL SIGLO XVIII: LA "SOCIEDAD CONSERVADORA DE LA LENGUA" DE IRIARTE Y FERNÁN NÚÑEZ EN PARÍS.

The objective of this work is to examine an unpublished spanish text that can provide us with significant data on the forms of sociability in the 18th century, since sociability is one of the features that characterize the Enlightenment century. In this context, the conversation plays a central role. And the text we analyze is not only a sample of it, but also provides us with data on how this was configured as a discursive genre. To understand it, we will have to refer to certain issues such as neologism, linguistic purism and foreignism in the eighteenth century. We will see that our examination allows us to clarify throbbing issues such as the participation of women in the salons, the configuration of the conversation as a discursive genre and the transcendence of this, and the origin of linguistic attitudes such as purism and "casticismo" in relation to neology and foreignness. For the rest, and in the strictly methodological field, our analysis combines the sociohistorical approach and the discursive approach from a pragmatic perspective, and approaches the Historical Discourse Analysis or the Historical or Diachronic Pragmatics.
