This paper studies the resemantization and meaning determination of the Quechua terms chaka, chakana and chakata. The research focuses on the explanation of the morphological structure. In the procedure we start from the work of the Lexicon of 1560 where we find the term chakata with the meaning of cross. The philological-hermeneutic method and the use of Quechua dictionaries were chosen for the work. As a result of the analysis, the term chakata has chaka as lexeme, which indicates the base element that makes «X» elements cross. Chakana would be the object with which the entities are crossed. Finally, the word chakata, agglutinates the suffix -ta with meaning ‘inter’ or ‘between’, being the word as a whole chakatay ‘to cross’. In conclusion, chakata would mean ‘inter-cross-’; in a philosophical sense, it forms the basis that intertwines, «X» elements within nature an...

The purpose of the article is to identify the sematic function of the suffix -cha of the Quechua variety chanka and the suffixes -ita and -itu attached to both Quechua and Hispanic lexemes. For this purpose, the behavior of the particle is examined as a function of its attachment to lexical bases of different grammatical categories. The author, based on her experience as a teacher and Quechua speaker, as well as through a process of interpretative induction, elaborated morphological cards with words such as the following: wasicha "little house", sumaqcha "the pretty one", qipichay "to pack", hamunqacha "sure to come", qamcha "sure to be you". As a result of the analysis, it is concluded that the semic functions of -cha joined to Quechua bases and in linguistic contact indicate conjecture, substantivation, affection, temporal shortening and anger.

This essay aims to identify the scriptural and semantic variations and linguistic processes in the morphosyntax of the terms quniraya, kumirraya, kuniraya, quñiraya, quniraya, -iraya. Corpora concerning quniraya were identified in Hispanic chronicles, 16th-century colonial dictionaries, and both historical and contemporary documents, which were then organized and compared to examine the writing, the processes that occurred within the word, and ultimately to determine its semantics. For this purpose, a textual record was utilized. After identification, the processes were analyzed and explained to verify phenomena such as syncope, fricativization, velarization, palatalization, suppression, apheresis, and pronunciation, among others. From these explanations, it can be concluded that these processes led to the loss of the word's sememe, but reconstructing the morphosyntactic structure and t...

La presente tesis es producto de una curiosidad por la objetivización de las lecturas de la obra Dioses y Hombres de Huarochirí, traducida por José María Arguedas. Lo que nos llamó más la atención fue el capítulo dos, titulado Cuniraya y Cavillaca, sin menospreciar el resto de los capítulos. Nuestro argumento consiste en que todas las lecturas y el término de dicha obra deben ser estudiadas con minuciosidad hacia la objetividad; estas lecturas han sido objetivizadas a través de dibujos, en el curso Taller de literatura nativa, en la especialidad de Educación Intercultural Bilingüe en el año 2005; luego fueron profundizándose en otras secciones de otras especialidades. La intención ha sido interpretar y plasmar lo que nuestros antepasados quisieron decirnos a través de esta obra y de qué realidad habían partido. En el año 2007, cuando hubo el Congreso Internacional de ...

In this paper, the role played by the category of singularity of body parts that are pairs or multiple in Andean culture is explained. First, methodologically, the information was collected by interview. Second, the data obtained were systematized according to the functioning of natural logic and thought in the Andean worldview. Third, body parts were analyzed according to parity and multiplicity, including the elements of nature. Finally, the results showed that, when it refers to parts of the body that are pairs or that are considerated to be conformed by more than two entities, the singular number is assigned in the Andean cognitive semantics. In addition, some elements of nature were also marked with singular number, such as flower petals, farm potatoes and a pair of oxen.
