Synopsis "Diccionario del USO del Espanol. Edicion Abreviada = Dictionary of the Use of Spanish, Condensed Version (in Spanish)"

Todo lo esencial del María Moliner ha pasado sin menoscabo a su versión reducida. El corpus actual del Abreviado está constituido por 45.000 entradas, algunas más si entran en el cómputo los derivados incluidos como sublema, un repertorio que supera en un doce por ciento el del anterior, lo cual es resultado del notable incremento de voces que aporta la tercera edición con respecto a la segunda. Es una cobertura importante que ofrece una visión precisa del español vigente hoy en todos sus registros (culto, formal, coloquial, vulgar), tanto en España como en América, sin excluir las terminologías especializadas que entran a formar parte de la cultura general. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Introducing the new edition of the abbreviated Moliner, taken from the Diccionario de uso del español 3rd edition (2007). The result is a dictionary that provides broad coverage to a wide range of people, occasional users, mid or high level students, and foreigners with sufficient knowledge of the language that do not need to consult the comprehensive and exhaustive version. The content of this abbreviated edition is made up of 45 thousand entries and offers a precise vision of the Spanish language usage today in both, Spain and America.

María Juana Moliner Ruiz (1900–1981) was a Spanish philologist, librarian, and lexicographer, renowned for her monumental Dictionary of Spanish Usage (1966), a work that transformed Spanish lexicography and cemented her legacy as one of the most influential figures in the history of the Spanish language

Born in Paniza, Zaragoza, Moliner studied at the Institución Libre de Enseñanza and graduated in Philosophy and Letters from the University of Zaragoza. During the Second Republic, she actively participated in the Pedagogical Missions, promoting literacy and access to culture in rural areas. After the Civil War, she faced repression from the Franco regime, which limited her access to academic and professional positions. Despite this, she continued her work in libraries and archives, and in 1955 began to draft her dictionary alone, using a typewriter and pencil, in her spare time and without institutional support

The Dictionary of Spanish Usage is a semasiological and onomasiological work that not only defines words but also explains their use, provides synonyms and contextual examples, and organizes terms in a way that is accessible to the user. This innovative approach distinguishes it from the traditional dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE)

Despite her contributions to language and Spanish culture, Moliner was not admitted to the RAE, although she was proposed in 1972. Instead, she received the Lorenzo Nieto Award in 1973 for her work in favor of the language

Her legacy endures in Hispanic education and culture, and her figure has been the subject of posthumous recognition, including the dedication of her name to the general reading room of the National Library of Spain in 2019

To delve deeper into her life and work, the biography María Moliner: A Biography by Inmaculada de la Fuente, and the documentary María Moliner. Spreading Words (2018), directed by Vicky Calavia, are recommended
