Presencia de quichuismos en la jerga juvenil de Cuenca, Ecuador

Abstract This research work analyzes the lexical-semantic procedures in juvenile jargon, as well as the areas of generational (in) communication. Through this academic study, it is intended to show and rescue the Quichua terms in the daily communication of the young people from Cuenca, describing its lexical-semantic origin for the etymological knowledge and its resignifications in the current jargon linguistic repertoire. The results suggest semantic changes from rhetorical figures, wich means the Quichuisms are present in youth jargon and bring about a contemporary intercultural connection.
