The neologism put and place in the daily speech of Venezuelans

Abstract

It is our intention to investigate the current linguistic facts that occur in Venezuelan society, to maximize knowledge of Spanish, cultivate the language and be able to assume educational positions, which will help speakers to express themselves better orally and in writing and thus avoid at all costs the mistreatment, misuse and abuse of language. This research shows some specific considerations about the use, the inconveniences, the confusion, the ambiguity in the meaning, the erroneous beliefs, the lack of knowledge, the personal negligence, the alternation, the mixture of uses, the constructions with mixed verbal forms, the ultracorrection by substitution of meaning and the desemantization or displacement of the significant value of the verbs put and place. The hypothesis on which this research is based revolves around the fact that oral discourse is based on principles accepted by the speakers, who mostly respond to erroneous convictions, ideas and beliefs of the language. In this qualitative research with a hermeneutic paradigm, the data obtained is analyzed to find the meaning of the observed phenomena. The material in this study is based on oral language data obtained from randomly selected Venezuelan speakers. Research carried out between the years 2019, 2020 and 2021. There is no stratification of the group and the speakers are subjects born in different Venezuelan geographical areas, of different ages, sex, social, cultural and educational status.
