The main purpose of this research is the analysis of kisaari, cheenkari, potsitari and ponaari, terms that belong to black-color notion in Ashaninka and Asheninka language, and are the result of the codification of the perception of jumping aspects of various referents of nature, showed in the opacity presented by its structure. Their reconstruction is grounded in lexicalization theory and their belonging to the category, in the theory of basic color terms and that of prototypes. The results show that kisaari was built from the dark aspect of a seed species; cheenkari, from the appearance of blackish spots of a snake species; potsitari, from the appearance of a reddish-blackish natural dye, and ponaari, from the comparison of the swelling of a body with the physical appearance of the area of the injured skin.

The main purpose of this research is to analyse kitamarori, kitamaari and kiteri; terms that belongs to white-color notion in Ashaninka language. These terms are the product of perception coding of different referents and tangible and intangible dimensions of nature manifested in various opaque components of its structure. Emphasis is placed on respective semantic development, for which we appeal to lexicalization theory and, for the belonging degree of each term in this category, to Basic Color Terms theory and prototype theory. The results show that kitamarori and kitamaari were built according to brightness and the aspect of its concretization manifested in the morning sky and in mythological beings, and kiteri, on the concept of cleanness related to the observation of the color of healthy skin of the Arawak people.

In this research, introduces the analysis of the chromatic terms that make up the category of green and blue colours is presented. Each one is the result of the codification of the perception of salient aspects of diverse referents of nature, which is evident in the opacity that shows its structure.

In this research, we present the linguistic and pragmatic analysis of dimensional deictic adverbs used in the Ashéninka language of Alto Perené. Data were collected between 2014 and 2018 in three native Ashéninka communities located in the province of Chanchamayo (Junín). Among the grammatical manifestations of spatial deixis in the Ashéninka language we find those expressed through adverbs that describe situations oriented towards the position of the sender and the referent. In order to do so, this language has adverbs that systematize the positional notions of superiorityinferiority such as tonkari and otapina, as far as position is concerned, and jenoki and osabiki, as far as direction is concerned. Likewise, the notion of posteriority is systematized by means of otapiki and that of laterality by means of akopero and ampate. In most contexts, these adverbs attach the locative suf...
