This paper aims to make the mainly medieval lists more complete since it is based on Cervantes’ text Don Quijote de la Mancha. The minimizers that resulted from our study are included like a short dictionary and their most relevant characteristics have been analyzed. In this way we mean to show the device involved in these negative reinforcers, in which insignificant meaning, quantification and expressiveness seem to play crucial roles.
