The mechanisms of lexical innovation and the reconfiguration of indigenous modernity in Chacoan Guaraní

The aim of this paper is to approach the mechanisms of lexical innovation in Chacoan Guarani or Chiriguano language, which resulted in the absorption of a large variety of new words into the daily lexical repertoire. I will focus particularly on three ways in which the processes of lexical innovatio...

description The aim of this paper is to approach the mechanisms of lexical innovation in Chacoan Guarani or Chiriguano language, which resulted in the absorption of a large variety of new words into the daily lexical repertoire. I will focus particularly on three ways in which the processes of lexical innovation can manifest themselves: through the creation of new words, through the incorporation of borrowings, or through operations of semantic extension whereby words already existing in the language acquire new meanings. To this end, I have worked both with written materials such as dictionaries, glossaries and documents of different types in order to identify new lexical elements, as well as with oral discourse documented during my ethnographic research. I will try to address the dynamics of the processes of lexical innovation from an anthropological perspective that will allow to recover the ethno-historical aspects that influenced them at different times and to observe the ways in which they contribute to signifying and constructing indigenous modernity.
