Jara Murillo, C. V. (2020). On the Costa Rican Word “Sácalas”: Origin, Meaning and Vitality. Káñina, 44(3), 123–148. https://doi.org/10.15517/rk.v44i3.45076
Abstract
In this paper three aspects of the Costa Rican word sácalas are addressed, namely, the origin that is recorded in lexicographical works; the semantic dichotomy that is reflected between two basic meanings: 'flattering' and 'intrusive', and finally, by means of a search of concordances by internet, its frequency and its contexts of appearance.
