Ese cambio obedece a factores procedentes de una sensibilidad social en determinada época y circunstancia. Su uso es común en todos los medios sociales, así se evita llamar a las cosas por su nombre. El presente artículo tiene por objetivo describir algunos eufemismos usados en la ciudad de Quito. Se demuestra a través de una investigación descriptiva si tales formas están vigentes o han cambiado en los últimos años. Además, se determinará los factores que definen su uso. Mediante un estudio gramático y pragmático se realizará la descripción sociológica de la población, los enunciados que estos profieren para contrastar con variables sociales seleccionadas.  Se detallarán también las diversas circunstancias y espacios en los que los eufemismos concurren en la comunicación y cómo éstos se presentan como una herencia de la colonización.  Su análisis permitirá comprender y valorar la cultura heredada.Cátedra, de la Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Central del Ecuador2020-09-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/zipapplication/ziphttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/CATEDRA/article/view/76910.29166/catedra.v1i1.769Cátedra; Vol. 1 No. 1 (2018): Revista Cátedra; 134-144Cátedra; Vol. 1 Núm. 1 (2018): Revista Cátedra; 134-1442631-2875reponame:Revista Cátedrainstname:Universidad Central del Ecuadorinstacron:UCEspahttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/CATEDRA/article/view/769/2643https://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/CATEDRA/article/view/769/2644https://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/CATEDRA/article/view/769/2647https://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/CATEDRA/article/view/769/2648Derechos de autor 2020 Cátedrainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-12-08T20:24:57Zoai:revistadigital.uce.edu.ec:article/769Portal de revistashttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://uce.edu.ec/**Ecuador*2631-28752631-2875opendoar:02020-12-08T20:24:57Revista Cátedra - Universidad Central del Ecuadorfalse
