Apuntes para una Gramática Valenciana Popular by José Nebot Pérez

Description

Apuntes para una Gramática Valenciana Popular by José Nebot Pérez is a linguistic guide written in the late 19th century. This scientific publication aims to establish a clear framework for the Valencian language, addressing the need for a standardized grammar amidst the existing chaos in its literary use. The work serves as a reference for Valencian linguistics, particularly focusing on grammar rules, phonetics, and orthography. The opening of this publication introduces the author’s concerns about the disorganized state of Valencian literary practices that, according to him, threaten the distinction and richness of the language. Nebot Pérez shares his determination to create a comprehensive yet accessible grammar that reflects the vernacular speech of the Valencian people while simultaneously integrating elements of the more established Spanish language. He outlines the contents of the grammar, emphasizing the study of the Valencian alphabet, phonetics, and various grammatical categories such as nouns, adjectives, and verbs, signaling a systematic approach tailored for popular use.
