Argentine
Literature History Argentine literature was born with some particular features which make it similar to and different from other literatures. In the same way, different styles found their peculiar path within the pages of Argentine letters. This history and its authors meet in this page. |
| Lunfardo "...although the public school, by strengthening national language (Spanish), prevented a linguistic muddle more typical of a free port than of a new and glorious nation, it could not keep some voices of Italian origin (derived from Genoese, Neapolitan, Furbesque) from starting to flow through the compadrito's lips..." Lunfardo, a mixture of European and Criollo features but ultimately an Argentine language, is described here, in this page. |
