Este libro ofrece al lector un estudio de enfoque sintáctico-discursivo de un corpus conformado por textos de materia económica publicados en España durante los siglos XVII y XVIII. Estos escritos se ajustan a una serie de patrones discursivo-tradicionales que anuncian la configuración lingüística que hoy en día asociamos al género del ensayo. El análisis contribuye a esbozar una imagen más certera de los procesos de elaboración y cambio de la lengua española en el tránsito del español clásico al moderno.
