Descripción
Sumario:Parallelism is a resource that can be found in Nahuatl evangelization texts and it is pervasive in the oral tradition of various peoples, including the indigenous people of pre-Hispanic Mexico. The aim of the paper is to show parallelism as a discursive strategy, as well as a textual organization mechanism that reinforces cohesion of colonial texts. Types of parallelism are identified in some evangelization works and, in the light of these, a comparative analysis focuses on two excerpts from the works of Bernardino de Sahagún and Andrés de Olmos.
