Abstract

This preliminary inquiry consists of an inventory of words with “particles,” as defined here. The study corresponds to the interest of analyzing a marginal type of words according not only to Spanish typology, but also to Hispanic linguistic research. The referential and conceptual framework is provided for this study, as well as the inventory itself up to the latest collection and tabulation.
