Influencia de la sociedad y el contexto actual fronterizo en la degradación de la lengua oral y escrita

Abstract

Language as a transmitting agent of culture, has served in the mediation between man and history to establish understanding, then led to knowledge. In this way, man coexists with society and language, becomes a connecting axis to create and transform cultures. With the arrival of the technological era, languages have allowed the communication link to be redefined. Now, language exists as a mental construct or abstraction, as an exclusive universal capacity of the human species, which allows the processes of appropriation, representation and symbolization of a complex and changing reality through time. This is due to social and cultural factors and motivations for communicative interaction. In this sense, the incidence of technology as a promoter of these relationships is added, which by functioning within the needs and expectations of linguistic users atrophies, so to speak, an established linguistic system, becoming a sign of effective communication. In Chomsky's words, cited by Areiza (2012) “Man possesses a faculty of his own kind, a unique type of intellectual organization that cannot be attributed to peripheral organs, nor linked to general intelligence” (p. 38). In this regard, man has unique faculties, which cannot be explained by means that regulate human bodily function and behavior. Language is understood as a social purpose that develops in complex discursive processes that become linguistic intentions and motivations. In this research work, it is intended to understand how the influence of society in a border environment and the misuse of written and oral language in social networks influence the deformation and hybridization of the linguistic code of the Spanish language.
