Notas de campo sobre la situación sociolingüística de la lengua qom en Colonia Aborigen, Chaco

Abstract

In this article we reflect on the sociolinguistic situation of the self–recognized population as settled in Colonia Aborigen Chaco. The work is part of the beginning of a doctoral research that continues with a thesis work of a degree in Letters. Particularly, it focuses on the areas of use of languages to investigate the vitality of the indigenous language, from the representations of the speakers as well as the communicative practices observed. The article is based on and illustrated from the interviews conducted during the fieldwork carried out in January 2019.
