Fraseología en lexicografía misionera: el caso de uno de los lemarios en el Arte de Febrés

The present investigation is framed in the missionary linguistic historiography, specifically, within the lexicography, while it also connects with the historical phraseology (in its phraseographic aspect). The purpose is to analyze one of the lexicographical repertoires present in the Arte (1765) of the Manresa Jesuit Andrés Febrés. The selected lemmary is Breve Diccionario, and our first objective is to determine the phraseological units present in this lemmary with respect to the Spanish language. A second objective is to determine what type of phraseological units are present in this lemmary, which have a greater presence and, in turn, following the methodology of explanatory missionary linguistic historiography (Zimmermann, 2004), to determine the relevance of these units in a pedagogical and lexicographical tool, whose purpose is, prior to the process of evangelization, to learn and teach a non-Indo-European and scarcely codified language.
