Resum:
This thesis studies the Joan Puig i Ferreter’s (1882-1956) dramatic language With this aim we have developed the vocabulary of the author's theatrical works, and the analysis and characterization of his vocabulary. His literary production and, therefore, dramatic production, is part of the first third of the twentieth century, a period of crisis and change, because the Floral language models, typical of the Renaixença, seem definitely overcome, and writers like Puig i Ferreter had to strive to find a modern tone and style of language appropriate to the new terms and treatments, because at that time there was no a shared literary standard language. The study of Puig i Ferreter’s language has allowed us to follow, apart from the interest that it has for itself, this process that leads to the consolidation of the general model of Catalan literary language that begins to crystallize towards the third decade of the twentieth century. Puig was treated from his irruption in the Catalan scene like a singular author in the time by his bold dramatic expositions, that did not leave anyone indifferent. For this reason it has been of great interest for us to analyze and describe the author’s linguistic expression by which the renovating elements mentioned above have been manifested in his work. The copies of his work have been subjected to an electronic scanning process and it have been moved from a list of forms to a list of slogans. And, from the lemmary, the variation of occurrences throughout the works and the study of loans, archaisms, stylistic cultisms, colloquialisms and dialectal lexicon from Camp de Tarragona, we have arrived at some conclusions: Puig gradually assumed the new language model; in terms of style, as himself confesses, at the age of forty he had to re-learn to write.
