referentes culturales de gran importancia y simbolismo para la configuración identitaria de una nación; por consiguiente, estos campos léxicos —así como muchos otros, pero para los fines de investigación, y solo a modo de ejemplificación, tomamos estos dos — pueden servir para caracterizar las zonas dialectales de Colombia, junto con muchos otros elementos lingüísticos que también se deben tener en cuenta, lo que corrobora que el nivel léxico es uno de los más importantes para la identificación y delimitación de una variedad diatópica.

Spanish in Colombia: dialects, gastronomy and music

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to present an overview of Spanish in Colombia, with emphasis on the dialectal and cultural diversity of its different geographic regions. To this end, some characteristics of the Spanish language in this country are stated and its regional varieties are exemplified from the lexical fields of gastronomy and music, with words or locutions taken from two lexicographic works on Colombianisms; therefore, it is based on a qualitative methodology and a descriptive approach. In conclusion, both native gastronomy and music are cultural references of great importance and symbolism for the identity configuration of a nation; therefore, these lexical fields -as well as many others, but for research purposes, and only as an example, we take these two- can be used to characterize the dialectal zones of Colombia, together with many other linguistic elements that should also be taken into account, which corroborates that the lexical level is one of the most important for the identification and delimitation of a diatopic variety.

Keywords: spanish in Colombia, gastronomy, music, diatopic variety .
