Consomé Costecho: La receta del albur, lenguaje popular mexicano

Abstract

We as mexicans have a language mannerism , that involves sex speech: ˂albur˃, which its incorporation to the popular Mexican language dates from prehispanic eras. Its deferral and preservation has become as the evolution of the language itself, through time, from generation to generation.

The objectives of this research focused on knowing if the albur is a degrading element of the Mexican Spanish; if people who say them, are people with a low cultural baggage and, above all, if its true that the albur is exclusive from the marginate social sectors.

Through a discussion group, the attendance to a course in fancy albur and the application of thra1ee different types of discourse analysis, it was found that people who use the albur tend to enrich their vocabulary and, against to what most of the people think, it is not an element that denigrates Spanish nor the person who uses it; instead, it elevates the brain activity even though it is seen as a taboo, while expanding the linguistic baggage of those who use them.
