The dance lexicon in the two Dictionaries of authorities : a study of the sources of authority and new additions

In this article we study the voices of dance collected in the first edition of the Diccionario de autoridades (1726-1739), in the first volume published for the second edition (1770), and in the manuscript catalogs for the following volumes, whose digitized edition is available on the website of the Real Academia Española. We are interested in the sources of the authorities used by the scholars in both repertories, as well as the addition of new words present in the unpublished documents for the 18th century and not included in the first edition. Both the first lexicographical attestations of these voices and their first textual manifestations will allow us to establish with greater accuracy their lexicographical route and to know which words from the dance lexicon are in the DLE (2014) thanks to the sources studied in both repertoires.
