In this paper, we examine the semantic variation of the name of the capital Arequipa, capital of one of Peru's most densely populated regions, within the framework of the theoretical approach known as cognitive linguistics, along with some observations from corpus linguistics. From a total of 609 expressions extracted from headlines and online news articles using natural language processing techniques (Python programming language), we have identified three classes of semantic variants (or meanings) related to the linguistic form Arequipa (literal, metaphorical, and metonymic). Our results indicate that while the literal variant (the prototypical meaning of Arequipa) can be contextualized in certain precise grammatical constructions, the other variants (metaphorical and metonymic) cannot.

摘要

In this paper, we examine the semantic variation of the name of the capital Arequipa, capital of one of Peru's most densely populated regions, within the framework of the theoretical approach known as cognitive linguistics, along with some observations from corpus linguistics. From a total of 609 expressions extracted from headlines and online news articles using natural language processing techniques (Python programming language), we have identified three classes of semantic variants (or meanings) related to the linguistic form Arequipa (literal, metaphorical, and metonymic). Our results indicate that while the literal variant (the prototypical meaning of Arequipa) can be contextualized in certain precise grammatical constructions, the other variants (metaphorical and metonymic) cannot.
