Abstract

The Revista de archivos, bibliotecas y museos was a periodical that, founded in 1871, remained in force for just over a century, until 1979. The issues that saw the light of day in the last third of the nineteenth century will be the object of this study because in their pages they incorporated the linguistic concerns of a society subject to constant change, based on different schemes, both the question and answer scheme established by El Averiguador, and the article that incorporates philological research or criticism of the works of these characteristics published at the time. From these, the most appropriate way to study the language will be extracted, as well as the consideration of certain correct uses, or not. Their analysis will provide interesting data to ascertain attitudes towards language, its social consideration and the internal knowledge of the language by the collaborators. The dissemination of these facts would undoubtedly have an impact on a reading public that would have to be able to deal with one of its working tools: language.
