Mexican letters and his modern lexicography in Dante Medina.

Abstract

As of the 20th century, Hispano-American Literature stood out for its remarkable and original
narrative. This linguistic essay analyzes the innovative work in the field of the renewal of the
language of the Mexican writer Dante Medina. The study that we present has a romance language
approach as it deals with a writer who works with different languages: Spanish, Italian and French.
His texts in most of them have a great linguistic richness that avoids traditional thinking, causing a
new edition and writing in his texts, which encompass intuitions, convictions, innovations, and
emotions. Dante Medina is a delicate language artist. In his lexicographical practice, he proposes a
different edition of the narrative in which in his speech he also recreates characters, according to the
change in the presentation of the paragraphs. The author plays with and explores new literary
genres, which, although twisted, enrich Latin American narratological units. From the perspective of
linguistics, it is possible to analyze the narrative that Dante Medina has generated in the last fifty
years, one of the structural models and initiators of the invention of language in the 21st century in
Jalisco. His narrative, even if it is fictional, maintains its own rules, creating semiotic systems that
serve precisely to continue fertilizing new levels of meaning in the text. His work makes it possible to
enrich the Spanish Language and, with it, open other fantastic avant-garde possibilities in the 21st
century.
