DOMINGUEZ CHENGUAYEN, Frank Joseph. THE NAMES OF THE POTATO TUBER IN THE QUECHUA OF PAMPACORRAL: TOWARDS A COGNITIVE APPROACH IN THE NOMINATION PROCESS. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2020, n.78, pp.269-296. Epub 12-Nov-2021. ISSN 0120-5587. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n78a11.
The way in which Quechua speakers of Pampacorral assign forms or signifiers to various native species of potatoes was studied. For this, the nomination process was analyzed, in which a series of theoretical principles of cognitive linguistics were integrated. From this, it was possible to establish how different cognitive models recover, initially, sensory information of the tubers and give rise, later, to a diverse series of denominations. In this way, the names of the potato varieties reveal not only linguistic and historical aspects, but also different mental processes in their construction.
