Abstract

Considering the fact that mass media are propitious spaces for the standardization of the linguistic norm, this study analyzes the degree of acceptance of some norms that were proposed in the Ortografía de la lengua española (RAE and ASALE 2010): a) the accent of guión/guion and other similar words, b) sólo/solo and the demonstrative pronouns and c) some cases of loans and Latinisms (such as whisky/wiski). Two newspapers from five Spanish-speaking countries (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Spain and Mexico) were analyzed. GoogleApi was used to collect 179,238 occurrence contexts in total, divided by years and journals, from 2010 to 2019. The results indicate that, at the end of the period studied, there are still, globally, many cases of forms with the old spelling in the three groups.
