Aproximación crítica al concepto de diglosia en hablantes urbanos del Kichwa: la comunidad como recurso en la vitalización etnolingüística

Abstract

The present work seeks to investigate the social factors that influence the unfolding processes of the Kichwa speakers under a certain social context, and also, to understand the sense of confrontation of the own language in front of a dominant language in what is called in the sociolinguistics as diglossia processes. The importance of the social contextualization of the problem of diglossia in migrant and immigrant Kichwa speakers in Bogotá is the essence, in which a perspective of study is proposed that allows highlighting the problems of ethnic groups such as the Kichwa community that are not recognized in their indigenous identity and yes excluding them as foreigners, with a mother tongue different from the Spanish language -kichwa-, communities in constant movement that recognize all the spatiality transited as their own territory and that are in constant tension with other ethnic groups with which they maintain Contact. This research purpose involves assessing the contributions of critical pedagogy and meaningful learning to the strengthening of the communicative skills of Kichwa speakers in urban contexts making use of the community as a resource for ethnolinguistic vitalization in the educational field.
