Comparative Lexicology of a Built Cultural Heritage. The Curutchet House in La Plata Designed by Le Corbusier

Abstract

Lexicon is the ensemble of words and elements that either make up a language or a part of it, or the language used by an author. It is the sum total of the knowledge of a community or individual and expresses their work of conceptual creation. Lexicology is the study of the structure and history of the lexicon. Finally, comparative lexicology is a branch of linguistics which, based on a certain idea, examines the ways in which it has been expressed in several languages. This article will focus on a study of how Le Corbusier’s lexicon was expressed in Argentina.
