| description | This article focuses on the performance of riddles as speech events that learn children under 5 years old in two rural communities of the department of Cuzco: Surimana (province of Canas) and community Ccachin (province of Calca). These riddles belong to a common directory shared by all children of the community. However, each child can enrich this directory through his own creation. Watuchi is the term referring to Quechua riddles. Its derives from the verb watu “to guess” or “to have an intuition”. Learning riddles is part of a vast set of semiotic practices managed by children since early childhood. Correlations between speech acts, cognitive skills development and children’ socialization are also discussed. |
