Terms and concepts for the study of hypertextuality in linguistic historiography. Some applications in the analysis of Spanish grammars of the 19th century

In recent years, a line of studies of special relevance has proliferated in the field of research within Hispanic linguistic historiography. This line consists of analysing textual series; that is, describing, interpreting and understanding treaties about Linguistics through a model of research that, instead of considering those texts as individual objects, it investigates the processes of creation and constitution of each text in relation to other texts in a methodical and systematic manner. From the possible relationships established between these textual products, this research focuses on the so-called hypertextuality, one of the most important for the delimitation of the creative process of texts. The main objective of this work is to enable the systematic study of hypertextuality in the context of linguistic historiography. This enables to explore the relationship between a text and another previous text and to describe the processes of regularity, change, evolution, and others. These processes are produced in a concrete series as a product of their relationships with other texts of the same or different textual series, regardless of the intentions of the authors and the concrete reception of each work.
