Theoretical and Methodological Principles for a Historiography of Spanish Phraseology

This paper aims to provide an overview of the historiographical research focused on the phraseology of Spanish and to highlight the open perspectives for future historiographical analysis of the reflection on fixed multiword units. First, it critically reviews the narrative constructed by phraseologists regarding the development of phraseological discipline throughout the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. Second, it presents the principles of the Historiography of Linguistics (HL) paradigm, classifies and analyzes the studies conducted in this field, and synthesizes the results obtained to date. Third, it proposes some methodological keys for approaching historiographical work on phraseological tradition in the future, following the principles of the HL paradigm.
