This article analyzes and systematizes the reflections on language that the Peruvian writer Gamaliel Churata proposes in his work Khirkhilas de la sirena. According to the linguistic project already advanced in his El Pez de Oro, Churata claims the literary and poetic use of an Andean Spanish strongly quechuized and aymarized. This paper will show how Churata's poetics of the language is concretized in the poems, analyzing certain choices and lexical-semantic aspects that characterize the work and that account for the relevant contact between Quechua, Aymara and Spanish.

In Andean Spanish varieties in contact with Quechua and Aymara indirect evidential and mirative values are documented for the pluperfect. Furthermore, the perfecto compuesto (=English Present Perfect) usually adopts a purely aoristive value, i. e. ha venido (lit. (s)he has come) 'he came', but additionally expressing direct evidence. This paper aims at tackling the evidential values of haber + participle as derived from the interrelation between temporal units, an idea previously adopted in the study of other languages. Namely, it is proposed here that the nature of the evidence derives from the interaction between the event time and an 'evidence time', in which the speaker has evidence available to assert p, so that the overlap between both times indicates direct evidence and the lack of overlapping indirect evidence. This allows to explain, in addition, the apparent contradiction posed by certain uses of the pluperfect where the evidence is direct, e. g. habías sido vos, lit. 'it had been you' [while seeing the hearer]: there the overlap is partial, so that there is indirect evidence of the initial subinterval and direct evidence of the final subinterval. Adding speech time (or some equivalent evaluation time) to this schema additionally allows to account for the mirative values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
