Abstract

The notion of linguistic ideologies responds to a construct that favors the political and economic interests of power groups used to structure and order society. In Lima this has been structured following the canons that benefit only a sector of the population and that in turn helps the construction of identities that reflect the existing gaps in our country. Therefore, we wish to crystallize these identity extremes using semiotic processes (Gal and Irvin, 1995) with data collected from social networks with greater reach that, on the one hand, shows a discourse of inclusion, making it clear that they do not share stigmas associated with the ethnicity of the subjects and, on the other hand, clarifies the racism that still maintains our society wrapped in academic airs.
