Early career He was born in Vidanes , Le n province Le n . His work Triunfo del amor y del la lealtad dia grande de Navarra was a subtly satirical depiction of the celebrations held at Pamplona to mark the visit of King Ferdinand VI . Initially, the book got an enthusiastic reception from some high ranking readers but a scandal broke out when on closer reading the real intent, biting and far from flattering, was revealed. De Isla was forced to leave his city and took up the life of an itinerant preacher , where he gained considerable popularity. It was during this time that his principal work, Friar Gerund , was composed and published, in two parts 1758 1770 originally under the name of his friend Don Francisco Lobon de Salazar, but de Isla s authorship of it was soon revealed. Historia del famoso predicador fray Gerundio de Campazas, alias Zotes , to cite the book s full name, depicted a peasant boy who rises to prominence as a preacher due to his smooth tongue. It constituted a biting satire on the charlatanism and bombast of the popular preaching friars of the day, as Don Quixote was on the false chivalry, and though in some ways overlong was seen as full of fresh humor. Later life The friars he satirised proved, however, too strong for de Isla. In 1760 the book was banned by the Inquisition , which forbade not only its publication but also any discussion or debate of its contents, and in 1767 its author was expelled from Spain. Nevertheless, the book continued to be published in numerous clandestine editions, and is now considered a masterpiece of Spanish literature. De Isla retired to Italy , and died at Bologna in extreme poverty. His ...   more details

The English language can approximate the inchoative aspect through the verbs to start or to get combined with a gerund.

When it was presented to Isabella I of Castile Isabella of Castile at Salamanca in the year of its publication, the queen questioned what the merit of such a work might be Fray Hernando de Talavera , bishop of Avila, answered for the author in prophetic words blockquote After Your Highness has subjected barbarous peoples and nations of varied tongues, with conquest will come the need for them to accept the laws that the conqueror imposes on the conquered, and among them will be our language. ref Quoted by Henry Kamen at the outset of Empire how Spain became a world power, 1492 1763 , 2002. ref blockquote Contents Nebrija divided his study of the language into four books Orthography Prosody linguistics Prosody and syllable s Etymology and diction Syntax A fifth book was dedicated to the teaching of Castilian as a foreign language .

  1. Pacaraos Quechua

    Infobox language name Pacaraos Quechua nativename states Peru speakers 250 date 1984 fam1 Quechua languages Quechua fam2 Central Quechua fam3 Yaru Quechua familycolor American iso3 qvp Pacaraos Quechua is a variety of Quechua languages Quechua spoken until the middle of the 20th century in the community of Pacaraos Pacaraos District in the Peru vian Lima Region in the Chancay valley up to 3000 m above sea level. The Quechua of Pacaraos was investigated by the Dutch linguist Willem F. H. Adelaar in 1970s, when it was still spoken by women in their sixties and older. Around the year 2000 there were possibly no active speakers left, but there are probably some people with passive knowledge who grew up with their grandparents. A peculiarity of Pacaraos Quechua is that it does not belong to any of the two main branches of the Quechua family Waywash and Wampuy . In contrast to other Quechua varieties, the Quechua of Pacaraos has phonemic word accent, which is either on the penultimate or the ultimate syllable. Like the Waywash varieties but in contrast to Wampuy, it distinguishes between short and long vowels. The first person of the verb and the possessive form for nouns is expressed by accent on the last syllable and addition of y, e.g. tarpuy to sow root tarpu tarp y I sow cf. Waywash tarpuu, Wampuy tarpuni tarpunki you sow tarpun he she sows . The vocabulary of Pacaraos Quechua corresponds in part with Southern Quechua e.g. kunan now , and partially with Waywash e.g. yarku to rise , akshu, potato . Furthermore there are many loanwords from Jaqaru or other Aymaran languages e.g. achara old , uni to hate , wilka sun . Some words of Pacaraos Quechua are unique, e.g. arapu to answer , chaqpa clothes , rapqa both . Pacaraos Quechua shares many suffixes with Waywash, e.g. aw in, on, at or piqta, piq from, out of . The accusative suffix kta has a long form kta and a short form k, the latter being combined with final stress. The negation suffix su chu is often shortened to s ...   more details
