Abstract

ELORANTA, Rita. Lingüística mochica: cuestiones etimológicas y analíticas. Lexis [online]. 2019, vol.43, n.1, pp.117-163. ISSN 0254-9239.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/lexis.201901.004.

In this article, I examine some previously proposed etymologies of words of Mochica origin. In addition, I discuss certain hispanicisms that would be better understood when seen as stemming from Mochica. To this end, I also discuss diverse grammatical aspects of the extinct Mochica language: nominal possession, numeral classification, spatial relation markers, nominalization and future paradigms. The reflections I offer here are based on José Antonio Salas’s (2012) book entitled Etimologías mochicas.

Keywords : Mochica; etymology; nominal possession; numeral classification; spatial relation markers.
