Del indoeuropeo al mocoví Salvador Bucca en el Instituto de Lingüística de Filosofía y Letras

Abstract

Salvador Bucca was an Italian scholar specialised in Indo-European languages who, once based in Argentina after the Second World War, changed his research topic to devote himself to the Indigenous languages of Chaco. He directed the works and publications in Indigenous languages of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Buenos Aires for thirty years. This article also refers to policies on Argentine Indigenous peoples at the time when studies on their languages were formed.
