Fraseología histórica en correspondencia privada aragonesa femenina del siglo XVIII: aproximación al análisis de locuciones en las cartas escritas por M.ª Francisca Ric (1746-1819)

This study aims to analyze the locutions found within a dozen letters written by the Aragonese woman M.ª Francisca Ric y Pueyo (1746-1819). This approach is entirely novel, as there are no prior studies, based on a review of the literature on both diachronic gender studies grounded in private correspondence written by women and historical phraseology. Specifically, this contribution offers a comprehensive exploration of locutions of diverse natures (primarily verbal, but also numerous adverbial ones, alongside some instances of prepositional, conjunctive, adjectival, and nominal locutions) used by the aforementioned author in her texts from the final decades of the 18th century. To this end, all examples present in this corpus have been transcribed. Classified into three categories, contextual, lexicographical, and documentary information is provided, allowing for nuanced insights into nearly thirty units. This leads to interesting conclusions in many cases, contributing to the advancement of diachronic phraseological studies from a gender perspective.
