Abstract

This article presents a reference-based genre knowledge model for Quechua folk tales (kwintus) based on an in-depth analysis of referential categories with the potential of characterizing a genre. Embedded in a cognitive framework, the study combines a datadriven approach, analyzing both discrete and non-discrete units as well as constructions, with a top-down approach starting from (genre specific) conceptual structures such as the role types proposed by Propp. By examining six folk tales related in Cuzco Quechua, shared linguistic features are hypothesized as central features of the genre of kwintus, while features determined by individual or stylistic choices are less representative.
