Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic – October 12, 2020.
Fabio J. Guzmán Ariza, president of the firm Guzmán Ariza and founder and president of the Guzmán Ariza Foundation, announced the launch of the Guzmán Ariza Institute of Lexicography (IGALEX), a non-profit institution, whose mission will be the lexicographical research of Spanish in its Dominican, Antillean, American and general varieties.
The purpose of the institute will be to design, elaborate and publish linguistic corpus and dictionaries of the Spanish language, especially those aimed at recording the lexical reality of Spanish in the Dominican Republic and the linguistic areas in which this variety is registered (Antilles and America), as well as collaborating in the preparation of the Spanish dictionaries published by the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) and the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language (ASALE). In addition, the institute will cooperate with the Dominican Academy of Language (ADL) in academic training in lexicography and dissemination on the use and knowledge of the published dictionaries.
Lexicographer María José Rincón, a full member of the ADL, will lead the work team, which is completed by the corresponding members of the ADL Roberto Guzmán Silverio, Rita Evelin Díaz Blanco and Ruth J. Ruiz Pérez.
As a first task, the Guzmán Ariza Institute will revise and prepare a new edition of the Dictionary of Dominican Spanish, published by the ADL in 2013, which will be available online for free. This initiative will be financed by the Guzmán Ariza Foundation, and will complement other projects that the foundation promotes in favor of the good use of Spanish, which includes Fundéu Guzmán Ariza.
