Resumen:

This is the second volume to be dedicated to the pioneering linguistic
work produced by the religious missionaries who, within the scope of
the European colonial enterprises along the period 1550–1850,
described dozens of autochthonous languages, many of which are only
known today thanks to their endeavours. The twelve papers joint in the
present volume — which dedicated a special attention to the
orthographical and phonological dimension of their work — provide a
comprehensive picture of the descriptive problems faced by these
linguists avant la lettre, notably: the difficulties faced before the
less familiar features of these languages, such as vowel quantity,
accentuation, tonality, nasalization, glottalization,
'gutturalization'; the building of (re)definitions and the creation of
a new metalanguage, like 'saltillo', 'guturaciones', etc.; the
creativity and innovations proposed by individual missionaries and the
instructive and pedagogical dimension of their work.
