Spatial and Non-Spatial Deixis in Cushillococha Ticuna Spatial and non-spatial deixis in Cushillococha Ticuna by Amalia E. Skilton A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Associate Professor Lev Michael, Chair Associate Professor Line Mikkelsen Professor William F. Hanks Summer 2019 Spatial and non-spatial deixis in Cushillococha Ticuna Copyright 2019 by Amalia E. Skilton 1 Abstract Spatial and non-spatial deixis in Cushillococha Ticuna by Amalia E. Skilton Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Associate Professor Lev Michael, Chair This dissertation is a study of the 6-term demonstrative system of Ticuna, a language isolate spoken by 60,000 people in Peru, Colombia, and Brazil. Much research on demonstratives has claimed that they encode only the distance of the demonstrative referent from the discourse participants. By contrast, I argue that no demon- strative of Ticuna conveys any information about distance. Instead, I show, the demonstratives of Ticuna provide listeners with two kinds of information: • Perceptual information: Demonstratives encode whether the speaker sees the demonstra- tive referent. • Spatial information: Demonstratives encode where the referent is located relative to the peripersonal space (reaching space) of the discourse participants. Location relative to periper- sonal space is crucially dierent from distance. Within the body of the dissertation, Chapters 1 through 3 set the stage for these arguments. Chapter 1 introduces the Ticuna ethnic group, their language, and the language's demonstrative system. Chapter 2 describes the methods used in the study, which range from experimental tasks to recordings of everyday conversation. Chapter 3 lays out the conceptual framework for demonstrative meaning used in the study. This framework draws on research in psychology and anthropology as well as linguistics, recognizing the contribution of multiple disciplines to the study of deixis. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 are the core of the dissertation. In Chapter 4, I demonstrate, from experi- mental and elicitation data, that 3 of the 5 exophoric demonstratives of Ticuna encode information about the speaker's mode of perception of the referent. Their perceptual deictic content speci- cally concerns whether the speaker sees the demonstrative referent at the moment of speech. This meaning relates to the sense of vision -- not to more abstract categories like epistemic modality, identiability, or general direct evidentiality (pace Levinson 2004a, 2018a). In Chapter 5, I examine the apparent speaker-proximal and addressee-proximal demonstra- tives of Ticuna. From experimental data, I argue that these demonstratives encode spatial in- formation, but not distance. Instead, their spatial deictic content concerns the location of the 2 demonstrative referent relative to the speaker or addressee's peripersonal space. The periper- sonal space (Kemmerer 1999) is dened as the space which a person can reach (i.e. perceive via the sense of touch) without moving relative to a ground. Since the peripersonal space is a perceptuo-spatial construct, not a sheerly spatial one, even the 'spatial' content of demonstratives is grounded in perception. Chapter 5 also engages at length with data from maximally informal conversation. In this data, I observe that the speaker- and addressee-proximal demonstratives can also convey non- spatial information about the referent: that the speaker is calling new joint attention to the ref- erent (for the speaker-proximal), that the referent is owned by the addressee (for the addressee- proximal), or that the origo (speaker or addressee) is moving toward the referent (for both prox- imals). I argue that all of these non-spatial uses of proximals arise from the items' spatial deictic content, via conventional forms of deferred reference and deictic transposition. In Chapter 6, I analyze the language's apparent medial and distal demonstratives, again draw- ing on both experimental and conversational data. I show that the apparent medial demonstrative of Ticuna is actually a sociocentric proximal, with the sense of 'sociocentric' developed by Hanks (1990). It encodes that the referent is within a perimeter jointly dened by the locations of speaker and addressee. The distal demonstrative, on the other hand, is a true egocentric distal, encoding only that the referent is outside of the speaker's peripersonal space. Chapter 7, defending my analysis of deixis against theories that assimilate deixis to anaphora, argues that the deictic and anaphoric systems of Ticuna are minimally related. I show that the demonstrative system of Ticuna exhibits a complete lexical split between exophoric (deictic) and non-exophoric (anaphoric and recognitional) demonstratives. The two classes of demonstratives are distinct in meaning as well as form. Exophoric demonstratives have the rich spatial and perceptual deictic content described in Chapters 4 through 6; non-exophoric demonstratives, by contrast, convey nothing about the referent except its discourse or world familiarity. Chapter 8 summarizes and concludes. i For my consultants ii Contents Contents ii List of Figures iv List of Tables vi List of Abbreviations viii Acknowledgments xii 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Overview ......................................... 1 1.2 Language and data .................................... 6 1.3 Demonstrative inventory ................................ 13 1.4 Summary ......................................... 19 2 Methods and participants 21 2.1 Data collection methods ................................. 21 2.2 Recording methods ................................... 30 2.3 Citation style and transcription conventions ..................... 31 2.4 Participants ........................................ 33 2.5 Summary ......................................... 34 3 Concepts in the cross-linguistic study of exophoric deixis 38 3.1 Introduction ....................................... 38 3.2 Conceptual framework ................................. 38 3.3 Perceptual deictic content ................................ 45 3.4 Spatial deictic content .................................. 54 3.5 Attentional content ................................... 60 3.6 Summary and conclusion ................................ 64 4 Visibility 67 4.1 Introduction ....................................... 67 iii 4.2 2 ŋe³a² and 3 ɟe³a² require that the speaker sees the referent . 68 4.3 The invisible use of 5 ŋe³ma² requires that the speaker does not see the referent 79 4.4 The perceptual deictic content of s concerns vision . 88 4.5 Summary and conclusion ................................114 5 Speaker- and addressee-proximal demonstratives 117 5.1 Introduction .......................................117 5.2 Concepts in the study of proximal demonstratives . 118 5.3 Core uses: Peripersonal space .............................120 5.4 Extended uses: Joint attention, motion, and ownership . 148 5.5 Conclusion ........................................165 6 Medial and distal demonstratives 173 6.1 Introduction .......................................173 6.2 Concepts in the study of medial and distal demonstratives . 174 6.3 The apparent medial demonstrative is sociocentric, not medial . 178 6.4 The distal demonstrative is a true egocentric distal . 191 6.5 Conclusion ........................................207 7 Anaphoric and recognitional demonstratives 212 7.1 Introduction .......................................212 7.2 Concepts in the study of exophoric vs. non-exophoric demonstratives . 213 7.3 Lexical split between exophoric and non-exophoric demonstratives . 216 7.4 Content of the non-exophoric demonstratives . 235 7.5 Summary and conclusion ................................246 8 Conclusions 249 8.1 Summary .........................................249 8.2 Future research ......................................252 Bibliography 254 A Experimental results 265 A.1 Nominal demonstratives ................................265 A.2 Locative demonstratives .................................274 A.3 Nominal demonstratives: motion goal modication . 277 B Resumen en españ ol (Summary in Spanish) 281 B.1 Introducción .......................................281 B.2 El sistema de demostrativos ...............................282 B.3 Resumenes de capıtuloś .................................284 iv List of Figures 1.1 Map of the Ticuna region within northern South America ................ 7 2.1 Example scene of the Demonstrative uestionnaire: Scene 6 . 23 3.1 Multiple kinds of deictic content in 3 ɟe³a² ..................... 41 3.2 Deferred reference: Relations between origo, pivot, and deferred referent . 43 3.3 Deictic transposition: Relations between underlying origo, transposed origo, and ref- erent ............................................. 44 3.4 Comparing distance- vs. location-based analyses of speaker-centered proximals . 58 4.1 Participants in (31) at onset of line 1 ............................ 99 4.2 Participants in (33) at onset of line 2 ............................102 5.1 Participants in (50) at onset of line 1 ............................123 5.2 Participants in (53) in line 4, at onset of second token of 1 . 128 5.3 Participants in (60) at onset of line 1 ............................138 5.4 Participants in (60) at onset of line 2 ............................138 5.5 Participants in (62) at onset of line 1 ............................141 5.6 Participants in (63)

  • Johann Natterer and the Amazonian Languages Johann Natterer E As Línguas Da Amazônia Willem F.H
    Artigos • Articles Johann Natterer and the Amazonian languages Johann Natterer e as línguas da Amazônia Willem F.H. Adelaar Hélène B. Brijnen1 Abstract Johann Natterer (1787-1843) was a member of the Austrian scientific expedition that was sent to Brazil in 1817. As a zoologist, Natterer practised taxidermy in situ and provided the Austrian court with a large collection of stuffed animals and ethnographic objects. Less known is his dedication to the collection of linguistic data. After the expedition was called back in 1822, Natterer obtained permission to stay on. He remained in Brazil until 1835 and collected language materials (Sprachproben) of 72 indigenous languages. For many of the languages concerned, Natterer’s hand-written data are either the first or the only records in existence. They are accompanied by ethnographic observations, indicating the original location of groups. In several cases, the speakers of language groups documented by Natterer have since then been removed from their original territories, if their languages were not brought to extinction. After a turbulent history, Natterer’s original language data, which for a long time remained unnoticed, are now kept at the Library of the University of Basel in Switzerland, where they have also been digitalized. Their transcription and publication is being undertaken by the authors of the present article. Keywords: Indian languages from South-America. Language samples from South-America. South-American ethnography. Indians in Amazonia. Johann Natterer. Resumo Johann Natterer (1787-1843) foi membro da expedição científica austríaca enviada para o Brasil em 1817.
