The linguistic identity lojana seen from the lojanismos in The exodus of Yangana of Ángel Felicísimo Rojas[Los lojanismos en El éxodo de Yangana de Ángel Felicísimo Rojas]

The present work has as objective to study the loranisms, from a dúplice perspective: sociolinguistic and anthropological-cultural, in the novel The exodus of Yangana. Therefore, the Lojana culture moves linguistically by the use of lojanismos, which persist in the collective memory: by the daily conversational use of the Lojano speakers and by the literary use of their writers and intellectuals. In a special way, these expressive forms shine in The Exodus of Yangana, an archetypal fictional narrative in the stylistic use of lojanismos, given that this particularity corresponds to a type of realistic literature-manners. Ángel Felicísimo Rojas, through the mouths of his characters, transmits Loja's native speech, reproducing a dialect that highlights the lexical singularities and semantic competences of the inhabitants of the southern region of Ecuador.
