"Lengua, gramática, ense anza: Salvador Puig i Xoriguer" ["Language, Grammar, Learning: Salvador Puig i Xoriguer"]

In 1770, Salvador Puig i Xoriguer published Rudimentos de gramática castellana in Barcelona,under the auspices of the city’s bishop, Josep Climent. This article discusses the circumstances of the publication of this work, such as the Castilianisation of the territories owned by the old Aragonese Crown, the author’s Jansenist tendencies, or the enlightened spirit the grammar is imbued with, and the theoretical analysis in the text, making novel contributions and drawing on interesting sources.
