Overview
- The Real Academia Española presented the Diccionario Histórico de la Lengua Española in Arequipa, describing the ten-volume release as an advance of ongoing work.
- The edition exceeds 20,000 pages and seeks to trace the biography of Spanish words, documenting origins, variants and semantic evolution.
- RAE Director Santiago Muñoz Machado said there will be no further paper editions as consultation and future development move fully to digital tools and artificial intelligence.
- Volumes I–III reissue fascicles published between 1960 and 1996 using Oxford English Dictionary methodology, while volumes IV–X compile representative monographs from the DHLE website.
- Backed by Inditex and panhispanic collaboration, the project—begun in 1914—now leverages modern corpora and computational resources such as CDH, CORDIAM and CORPES XXI.
