This table has responded to criticism arose against the Peruvian Academy of Language Academy for criticizing Matritense not to accept a considerable part of Peru. You know, that critics have not only sided with Spain, with the Cuban Humberto López Morales, who attributed full responsibility to the poor organization of the team work of our country but also in our context, next-Palomino Cerrón climber who attributes it is a great lexicographical work but still leaves much to be desired and is only a first pilot phase is expected soon improved editions.

But I think the criticism of Humberto Lopez Morales has been well received by the Peruvian team, as they assume full responsibility for what happened, but as one of the speakers stressed: "In a work of great magnitude, which employs all constituent colleges, you can not blame these errors to the editor ".

But again there is some suspicion about what criteria existed for the selection of the corpus of the Peruvian team. And I think that the suspicions are well founded, since one can not explain how they have accepted (the Academy of Madrid) Peruvianisms some entries and not others, also on the correction of certain entries for some cases but not others if they are based on the same criteria of lexicographic analysis.

There were not many complaints about the special treatment diatopic brand, for being a collective work in which there is no way to bring together all members of the teams of the 22 academies is very abstruse carry out a thorough analysis . Here too I agree that much better is that the entry or the meaning that the brand is not only diatopical "Peru."

Julio Calvo I think is very sensible to say something very important and I think that seals the discussion on Matritense Peruvian faces' must see the contribution of the work generally, and not so dialectically. "
