Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this paper, our object of study is the way in which grammarian missionaries in Latin America focused the discussion on the relationship between abstraction and concretion from a linguistic perspective. Due to its linguistic and ecclesiastical policies, for this analysis we have selected as our corpus a set of grammar works written in the Archdiocese of Lima, during the 16th and 17th centuries. In these works, we see how this discussion was expressed in missionary grammatical treatises through the treatment of the expression, in indigenous American languages, of abstract concepts; or else, through their non-expression because of a supposed pre-eminence of concrete terms. From a grammatical and semantic analysis, we discover that, following the classical tradition, the distinction that relates the abstract to 'notions' and the concrete to 'material entities' predominates. On one hand, this idea is found explicitly in the description of the 'abstract name', which is defined as a morphological category in the classical and renaissance grammatical tradition; on the other hand, we detect this issue in the linguistic expression of quantification and temporality, thanks to the underlying idea of 'measurement' in the semantic content of both.
