Abstract

In this publication, as well as in others on the same subject published in Boletán de Filologia and in the Boletín de la Academia Colornbiana, I have obsewed the great abuse made of the prefix meta-, to such an extent that certain concepts formed sn the basis of this prefix will eventudly become devoid of their meaning. In order to illustrate its use, relevant examples are provided in Spanish, English, Gennan, and Russian.    

Keywords:

prefix meta-, cognitive processes, linguistic reflection, text contents
