Abstract

This article discusses the role of the pragmatic internal suffix -pu- of Quechua, correlated with -mu-, and its complex relationship with the casual peripheral suffix -paq, in order to warn about its syntactic-pragmatic dysfunctionality despite covering semantically both the Recipient field. It will also be analyzed if there is a similar parallelism between the unstressed pronouns (me, te, se, lo...), the suffix -ario and the preposition para in the Spanish language. The Quechua-Spanish contrast will make it possible to ensure that the pragmatic projection is similar in the two languages, although morphologically and syntactically they are so different.

Author Biography

  • Julio Calvo, Universitat de València, Valencia, España

    Studied Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Valencia (Spain). Later, he received his PhD in Hispanic Philology, in the branch of General Linguistics. In his thesis, Clasificación semántica de los adjetivos puros del español contemporáneo (1985), he approached the structural and cognitive study of the lexicon from the perspective of liminal grammar; this allowed him to approach theoretically the studies of Pragmatics, both of Quechua (Pragmática y Gramática del Quechua Cuzqueño, 1993) and of Spanish (Introducción a la Pragmática del Español, 1994). In this way he also gained access to Lexicography, a specialty in which he has published several treatises and dictionaries of Spanish and Quechua. Likewise, during the sad biennium of the pandemic, he elaborated a research entitled Historia de la Lengua Quechua (2021) in two volumes, from which the subsequent bilingual edition: Qhichwasimip Kawsasqanmanta. Historia de la Lengua Quechua (Calvo and Chuquimamani, 2022). Currently, he is researching on the topic of the Extirpation of Idolatries and the interpretation of the lexicon and critical discourse analysis in Arriaga's work (1621). He has worked in various specialties of linguistics, both theoretical and practical: Amerindian and missionary linguistics, language policy, American Spanish, translation theory and practice, ethnolinguistics, morphosyntax, semantics, etymology, typology, among others. Dr. Julio Calvo has published more than fifty books and more than 150 scientific articles.
