| description | This article deals with referents and the signified of the term inka from the double perspective of history and linguistics. It shows that the Incas were not a nobility nor an ethnic group but a military association. By analyzing the uses that the term inka had outside the socio-political field, the author defines its signified as ‘separate, set apart (from common producers)’. It is the colonial evolution of the uses of the term which is at the origin of the modern misinterpretation of the prehispanic Incas as a nobility. |
