CONCEPCIONES EPISTÉMICAS DEL CUERPO HUMANO EN TRES ENFOQUES TEÓRICOS

Abstract

Throughout space-time, processes of syllabic restructuring promoted arrangements and rearrangements in the syllabic structure of the mother tongue of Cape Verde, the Cape-Verdean Creole (CVC) or the Cape-Verdean Language (LCV), resulting in variation and change in the talks of Santiago and Fogo (Sotavento) and in Santo Antão and São Vicente (Barlavento), four of the nine linguistic varieties that are part of the CVC.In this study, we will highlight descent or subtraction processes that comprised the Cape-Verdean Continuum.The general objective is to describe and explain the intra-linguistic variation by the Model of Optimality Theory (OT), and the specific objectives are (1) to deal with concepts such as continuum, coexisting systems and optionality as well as the theoretical framework of OT and (2) to analyze adjustment processes in the syllabic structure that demonstrate the internal optionality and external linguistic variation and change from south to north of the Archipelago.The data for this study come from field research conducted in 2003 and 2019 on the focused islands.
