The Spirit of the Modernists

I do not know a lot about the modernist movement, but I do have a feeling that it enriches the Spanish language. Jean Franco tells us the Modernists felt that the Spanish language and poetic form were inadequate for the expression of their new sensibility. Therefore, they introduce non-Spanish vocabulary to up to date the Spanish language. For example, words from the French language have been introduced in the writings of the Modernists. I imagine after a few years, those words are considered as Spanish words which have their roots in the French language. I am not surprise about the decision of those writers. Languages are not self-sufficient. They have to trade with each other in other to survive. Many words in the French language come from Latin and Greek. Languages are neighbors. Thus, they borrow from each other. I believe many Spanish words using by today’s Latinos might be French words of the modernist movement. I do not know the movement and Spanish enough to give an example. However, I have a feeling that we have many Europeans words used by the Modernists that are still alive in Spanish.
