SUMMARY
This paper aims to analyze the columns about the language written by Fernando Araujo and Javier Marías, the first of them between the 19th and 20th centuries and the second between the 20th and 21st centuries. As will be seen, although they are separated by a distance of one hundred years, the two authors share the same concerns about linguistic correctness and even treat the same problems in their journalistic collaborations. The paper reflex on the effect of the passage of time on linguistic columns.
