POPULAR LANGUAGE

The popular language is that used in the first few letters of riverside court. Vidart warns of possible confusion between the riverside and slang, as in the Rio de la Plata is the mistaken tendency to designate the language as slang for the suburbs.

While there are “Lunfardo” (dialectic) expressions languages adopted by the riverside, they are actually a form of communication between offenders, practiced only by the initiated. In the national rioplatense language, Vincent Rossi, quoted by Vidart, argues that the language is spoken fanciful riverside of Creole in the suburbs. "And anything that is not humble native- says Rossi - nor bad, nor as man, not even a clown like a “sainetero” presents it and is a skilful minstrel in spontaneous lexicon, inspired by his environment full of twists and Creoles of Patu the European continent, that make it the first stage in the conquest of America, the conquest of bread. The language of the riverside is particularly inventive, always graphic, exact wording, metaphors and onomatopoeic provided in inclement irony and because the novel always riverside is a tireless innovator of picturesque terminology '

Vidart, ironic in a paragraph of the work already cited, says that "the language of the people of Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Rosario, synthesizes and syncretizes with alchemy itself of port cities, the linguistic elements of the American hinterland of the European and patois of Creole argots underworld and internationally and grafted them, despite the vade retro scared of academics, the strain of the venerable language of Cervantes. The popular climbs, as the sap of the root mass of the flower elites and advances, as a slick of oil from the shores to the heart of cities.

LUNFARDO LANGUAGE

The slang is a form of communication of criminals, especially thieves and pimps. One of its main objectives is to hide the intentions of those who practice it. Unlikely that human material can produce a rich poetry, able to transcend to the general public. That's why it makes a valid distinction between slang and Vidart lunfardesco. In fact, it is correct to speak of lunfardescas words, written by authors who are very familiar with the language and environment, but which do not belong to it.

The structure of the slang is nourished by the substitution of nouns, verbs, adjectives and interjections Castilian terms, which they change the meaning from the germanium, the caló, Italian and its dialects, French, Portuguese, English, indigenous languages and even the Spanish words that are given a meaning that has nothing to do with the original.

An auxiliary element of lunfardo is Vares, or pronunciation of words by changing the order of the syllables: tango Gotan is, cool is camba, jovi is better, head zabeca and so on.

Obviously, this "language" has no fixed rules, and shows a tremendous dynamism. The people of the underworld and the inmates of prisons tested continually changes, when they are successful and are accepted, are expanding fast.

In Buenos Aires, rather than Rosario and Montevideo, the lunfardesco style had important farmers in journalism, in the narrative, theater and poetry. In this sector, the removal of their works to tango highlighted in the early days of Carlos Pua, Celedonio Flores, BartoloméAprile, alligators, and Joaquín Gómez Bas Centeya Julián.

This way of writing poetry tango, has remained through the decades and in the second half of the century are noteworthy recordings Edmundo Rivero-a-passionate about the topic with tangos and lunfardescos milongas and works in verse, prose and chat Nyda Cuniberti, Roque Rosito Lombardi, Daniel and Luis Alposta Giribaldi.

WORSHIP LANGUAGE 

Vidart that linguists call language used by the cult of the higher strata of society, which gives emphasis to the class culture. So believes that the name is unwise and should speak the language of the elite, the highly intelligent, "because the culture in its broadest sense includes all forms of ideology and all social strata of a nation."

With this ambiguous meaning, "the language 'worship' is not common in tango lyrics. Beyond the naive stage of peringundines and overcome the lunfardesco cycle of cabaret, tango becomes the receptacle of the broad popular inspiration. Language, despite some setbacks hermetic clarifies, the issues are multiplied; cultural functionalism is defined specifying bias. As the Mexican corrido, the tango is now a wild card that expresses the joys, sorrows, concerns, chabacanerias and prejudices of the people. The lyrics to sing all the complexity of life; mass civilization faces in them bow their solid plasma, but all so abstract, ethics, aesthetics, sociology, and an axiology popular metaphysics. "
