Abstract
GIRALDO GALLEGO, DIANA ANDREA. Three indigenisms in parlache: "concho", "cucha/cucho" and "tote". Cuad. linguist. hisp. [online]. 2015, n.26, pp.75-86. ISSN 0121-053X.
Even though parlache originated in the popular neighborhoods of Medellín (Vila Rubio & Castañeda Naranjo, 2006), some of the vocabulary used in this social dialect comes from American indigenous languages, as exposed by Castañeda Naranjo & Henao Salazar (2006) in their Parlache Dictionary. In this article, I present an analysis of three indigenisms found in the mentioned dictionary with their corresponding etymological proposals: "concho", "cucha/cucho" and "tote". The following stages were undertaken for the identification of these terms: (1) classification of lexical units as indigenisms through etymological consultation (Diccionario de la Lengua Española: Anonymous, 1612) and genetic relations (Giraldo Gallego, doctoral thesis); (2) identification of these lexical units in Castañeda Naranjo & Henao Salazar (2006); and (3) the analysis of these three indigenisms in the work of the aforementioned authors. I also show here that the extent of these registers goes beyond the local scope of Medellín (Castañeda Naranjo, 2005, pp. 76-77), as these are not restricted to the speech of urban areas, but are present in certain rural areas of the Colombian territory.
