Análisis léxico, morfológico y semántico del habla de las sombrereras de paja toquilla del cantón Sígsig

Abstract

In the present research, a basic glossary of the lexicon of toquilla straw hats from the Sígsig canton is collected. Sígsig is an important occupational community of our province (Azuay). The aims of this study are to recover and preserve this unique lexicon, which is part of our regional and national heritage. In the first part of this research, we will illustrate in general about the historical and socio-cultural context of the canton and the straw hat in particular. Far ahead, we will make a theoretical approach on the language in its social context plus its characters, functionality and components: the language and the spoken language, emphasizing the presence of argots and their particularities; this, in order to justify our interest in this type of work and its social value. Furthermore, we will explain the methodology that has been used for the making of this work, to then focus on the analysis, which will have the following entries: grammatical, domain, definition, origin and/or reflection according to the Dictionary of the Royal Academy of Language (DRAE) or the Dictionary of Americanisms. Subsequently, we include an example, which allows us to delineate the meaning of the term. Finally, we will indicate the social and linguistic conclusions to which we have arrived to with this field research experience, inviting the classmates of the Major to continue with this kind of work.
