This article addresses the semantic aspects involved in the configuration of the gastronomy of Aurahuá-Chupamarca (districts of the province of Castrovirreyna, region of Huancavelica). The semantic-cultural motivations underlying the linguistic expressions referred to gastronomic entities are identified, which correspond notoriously with metonymic mechanisms. The study is based on the theoretical And methodological principles of cognitive linguistics (Lakoff and Johnson, 1980; Lakoff, 1987; Langacker, 1987; Ibarretxe-Antuñano and Valenzuela, 2012; Evans and Green, 2006, among others). The metonymies show how Quechua speakers categorize the indicated gastronomic entities. The way in which linguistic forms are associated with Quechua cuisine is described and explained.

Lexemes related to human anatomy in Quechua Ayacucho-Chanca transgress the literal (or conventional) meaning, go beyond it, and are strongly polysemic units in the Quechua language and culture. In this research, we analyze the somatic lexemes uma 'head' and simi 'mouth', which show a complex conceptual universe, and form a semantic network provided with an internal radial structure. In particular, our goals are twofold. On the one hand, we want to identify all those concepts that these two linguistic forms related to human biology Quechua, is associated. Moreover, we intend to explain how these new concepts have come to be associated with somatic lexemes mentioned before. To do this, we will build on the theoretical and methodological principles of the discipline called cognitive linguistics (Lakoff and Johnson 1980, Langacker 1987, Lakoff 1987, among others), and propose the metaphor an...

En este estudio se definen los mecanismos relativos a la creación de palabras en quechua ayacuchano, específicamente en el contexto de la elaboración de materiales pedagógicos de comunicación y matemáticas. Los neologismos son apremiantes para el desarrollo conceptual en el proceso de aprendizaje, donde se requiere que las lenguas originarias, además de la conformación de categorías pertinentes a su tradición sociocultural, configuren categorías concernientes conceptualmente a materias culturalmente diferentes, como las matemáticas. El análisis de datos se sustenta en la recopilación de los nuevos vocablos detectados en los cuadernos de trabajo de Comunicación y Matemática del nivel primario, elaborados por el Ministerio de Educación en quechua ayacuchano (2019). Para ello, se procedió a fichar cada uno de los neologismos de acuerdo con el protocolo del vaciado espontá...
