El diccionario ideológico de Julio Casares como recurso de la lengua española

Abstract

With this paper, we aim to remember the importance of the figure of Julio Casares and his ideological dictionary of the Spanish language. It is claimed to make a tour of the structure of this work that aimed to create a reference between the idea and the concretization of the said mental entity through the word. In addition, the appropriate instructions for correct use will be recalled, as the author himself describes in the preliminary pages. We will review the three parts that make up the dictionary and its main function, remembering the uses for which the author designed this work, through some search example. The dictionary, moreover, by the type of organization which it presents, supposes within the paremiological studies an indispensable source and rich in forms. It allows to analyze and localize a compendium of phraseologisms in Spanish. Its organization into ideological blocks facilitates the access and location of phraseological units through the main theme or idea.
