Si solamente librsemos a la imaginacin este largo transcurrir, podramos reconstruir un arduo trajn de investigacin y traduccin. Pero si, ms all de la imaginacin, nos enfrentamos al trabajo concreto que nos ha permitido conocer ahora el lado humano y espiritual (el concreto mundo viviente) de nuestros compatriotas de las zonas amaznicas y andinas, debemos felicitarnos de haber contado con ayuda tan valiosa como la desplegada por los lingistas del ILV. rbol por rbol han ido escrudiando el bosque para revelarnos la savia que nutra tanto hermoso conjunto. Toda la realidad lingstica de ese vasto territorio aparece congregada en este volumen en minuciosa informacin sobre variado mosaico: etnografa, folklore, fono- loga, lxico, sintaxis, traduccin, educacin. Es decir, cuanta herramienta era necesaria para ofrecernos clara y minuciosa informacin aparece ac reunido en un ndice pormenorizado que da cuenta de tanta dcada de aprovechado trabajo. Podemos asombrarnos frente al nmero de investigaciones (3011) de las que dan cuenta libros y opsculos publicados. Podemos esperar nuevas noticias, si a lo publicado agregamos las casi ochocientas investigaciones inditas, y las notas de campo. La historia del Per es, como sabemos, un conglomerado de hechos en que hombres de distintas culturas vienen conviviendo en el mismo territorio. No todos aprovechamos las noticias que esto comporta, ni todos somos conscientes de lo que esto representa como responsabilidad y como fortuna. Costa, sierra y montaa son palabras que suelen pronunciarse con simpata, pero son en realidad tres conceptos que merecen (y exigen) ardua reflexin por parte de quienes tenemos alguna responsabilidad en el campo de la docencia. Este volumen, que no es sino un ndice bibliogrfico de la actuacin que durante tantos aos ha cumplido entre nosotros el ILV, nos ayuda (y merece destacarse) a mirar en profundidad lo que las lenguas y los pueblos amaznicos y andinos representan, que es un modo de aprender a mirar en profundidad hacia lo porvenir. Alcanzar este privilegio obliga a nuestra gratitud por todo lo que, gracias a estos trabajos, hemos aprendido los peruanos. Luis Jaime Cisneros Profesor Principal de la Pontificia Universidad Catlica del Per 7 Page # 7 August 2, 2002 CVP 4.2 KdB BIB-INTR.CHP BIB-INTR.CHP CVP 4.2 KdB Page # 8 August 2, 2002 PRLOGO El Instituto Lingstico de Verano, que viene colaborando con el Ministerio de Educacin del Per desde 1946, se dedica al estudio de las lenguas autctonas y sus interrelaciones, as como a realizar programas de lingstica aplicada y desarrollo integral de las comunidades. En la Bibliografa del Instituto Lingstico de Verano en el Per: 1946-1999 presentamos los resultados de las investigaciones lingsticas, antropolgicas y folklricas, y de su aplicacin prctica en la preparacin de materiales en los idiomas autctonos. El presente volumen contiene los resultados del perodo comprendido entre abril de 1946 y julio de 1999. El lector notar que el nmero de ttulos vara en cada lengua y cultura. Esto se debe a que en algunos grupos tnicos, como por ejemplo los ashninka del Ucayali- Yuru, el trabajo de campo es relativamente nuevo, mientras que en otros la investiga- cin de campo y la aplicacin prctica de los estudios se desarroll durante varias dcadas y hay una amplia bibliografaen el caso de los yagua, por ejemplo. En otras etnias como los jebero, los iquito, los cocama, los ocaina, los orejn y los huitoto muinane, las investigaciones no se continuaron por tratarse de grupos bastante integrados a la cultura mayoritaria o a otro grupo tnico. No se ha proseguido la investigacin entre los andoa (shimigae), los resgaro y los taushiro porque son grupos muy pequeos cuyos idiomas estn a punto de extinguirse o se han extinguido. Las bases tericas que sustentan los estudios lingsticos son muy diversas e incluyen, entre otras, la fonologa y morfologa clsicas, la tagmmica, la gramtica transformacional clsica, la semntica generativa, la gramtica funcional-tipolgica, la gramtica estratificacional, la teora de optimidad, y la lingstica cognoscitiva entre otras. Puesto que las teoras lingsticas y antropolgicas se desarrollan y cambian constantemente, la tarea de poner al da trabajos analticos y tericos resulta inter- minable, y por lo tanto, las posibilidades de estudio sobre una lengua no pueden considerarse agotadas, ya se trate de la lengua y cultura de un grupo indoeuropeo ampliamente documentado o de un grupo tnico de la amazonia peruana. En este ltimo caso, la investigacin de campo es indispensable ya que provee datos que son la prueba emprica de las teoras. Al fin y al cabo, los datos, ms que las interpretaciones tericas, son de utilidad e inters permanentes. Considerando el valor inherente de los datos, incluimos una recopilacin de los trabajos inditos que el ILV pone a disposicin del pblico en microficha o en fotocopia. Este proyecto contribuye a la preservacin de una parte muy valiosa del patrimonio nacional. Estos materiales se han archivado en la Biblioteca Nacional y en el Museo de la Nacin (anteriormente en el CENDIE del Ministerio de Educacin). 9 Page # 9 August 2, 2002 CVP 4.2 KdB BIB-INTR.CHP 10 PRLOGO Los estudios etno-lingsticos publicados han aparecido en revistas y series nacionales e internacionales, as como tambin en cuatro series editadas por el Instituto Lingstico en el Per. La Serie Lingstica Peruana fue la primera serie editada por el ILV. El primer nmero apareci en 1963 y fue una gua en el idioma aguaruna para el aprendizaje del castellano. En aos subsiguientes se publicaron diccionarios bilinges, estudios descrip- tivos y tericos, y estudios comparativos. Para acelerar la publicacin de datos y estudios tericos se publica tambin la serie Documentos de Trabajo. Varios de ellos, incluyendo el primer nmero que sali en 1973, contienen lecciones y otras pautas para el aprendizaje de un idioma autctono. Otros contienen estudios tericos basados en recopilaciones amplias de datos. La tercera serie es Comunidades y Culturas Peruanas que tambin empez a publicarse en 1973. En esta serie aparecen trabajos descriptivos de la organizacin social y otros aspectos culturales, recopilaciones folklricas y trabajos sobre diversos aspectos de la educacin bilinge intercultural. La serie Datos Etno-Lingsticos recopilaciones en microficha fue creada en 1975 para ofrecer en publicaciones econmicas los datos acumulados. Los datos representan diversas etapas de la investigacin de campo y contienen varias formas de recopilacin. Algunos son anlisis tentativos de la fonologa o de ciertos aspectos de la gramtica de un idioma; otros contienen listas de palabras para estudios comparativos, trminos de parentesco y otros datos etnolgicos, etc. En lo posible se ha tratado de presentar el material con exactitud pero sin mejorar la redaccin. Las aplicaciones prcticas de los estudios etno-lingsticos realizados entre los grupos tnicos son muy variadas. Van desde la elaboracin de alfabetos y la preparacin de materiales en el vernculo, hasta el empleo del idioma y del conocimiento de la organizacin social para asesorar programas de desarrollo. La publicacin de obras en idiomas vernculos constituye la aplicacin prctica principal de los estudios del ILV. Las publicaciones en lenguas vernculas comprenden textos de Lenguaje, Mate- mticas y otros cursos para los Programas de Educacin Bilinge Intercultural del Ministerio de Educacin; manuales prcticos, literatura popular y traducciones de documentos de valor humanista y moral como la Declaracin Universal de los Derechos Humanos y pasajes bblicos. La Coleccin Literaria y Cultural de idiomas selvticos se inici con el fin de crear literatura popular que ayudara a los nuevos lectores egresados de las escuelas bilinges y de los proyectos de alfabetizacin para adultos a progresar en la lectura, y para estimular el hbito de la lectura como medio de superacin entre la poblacin indgena. Aparte de las publicaciones de esta serie existen varios centenares de libros y folletos no catalogados publicados por autores nativos en sus propias comuni- dades con el asesoramiento de lingistas del Instituto. Estos libros han surgido de la BIB-INTR.CHP CVP 4.2 KdB Page # 10 August 2, 2002 PRLOGO 11 conviccin de que la mejor literatura popular es la creada por miembros del grupo usuario. En los ltimos aos se han publicado muchos folletos y libros de literatura popular en la sierra aunque no llevan el ttulo de Coleccin Literaria y Cultural. En varias de las secciones sobre vocabulario nos referimos a Textos y concor- dancias de palabras (o morfemas). Las concordancias forman parte de un proyecto realizado por el Instituto Lingstico de Verano y la Universidad de Oklahoma para organizar y localizar datos computarizados. El proyecto fue posible gracias a las subvenciones GS-270, GS-934 y GS-1605 de la Fundacin Nacional de Ciencias (NSF).

    PALMAS DEL PERÚ Abril 17, 2016 Ms. Sasikia Ozinga Co-Chair of the Board Forest Peoples Programme 1c Fosseway Business Centre, Stratford Road Moreton-in-Marsh, GL56 9NQ England We are responding to your letter dated March 4th, 2016 and confirming our serious commitment to sustainable entrepreneurship in Peru, respecting their laws and operating with social inclusion and environmental care, especially with respect to the original cultures close to the areas where we are carrying out our activities. 1. In order to maintain a relationship of reciprocal treatment with your organization, it is necessary for us to receive a satisfactory clarification on the part of FPP for that which was irresponsably expressed in the fourth paragraph of your online press release issued on November 18th, 2015 regarding alleged death threats to Mr. Washington Bolivar insinuating that this was supposedly carried out by the company and its principal director Mr Dennis Melka. Freedom of expression is in no way an acceptable pretext for desseminating slanderous allegations through the media, which without objective evidence unjustly attempt to skew information and the perceptions of people and institutions with the presumed intention of damaging their respective reputations. We wish to remind you that the rights of one person end where the rights of another begin. In the letter we sent on November 23rd, 2015 we had specifically requested from you objective evidence proving the above claims made by the FPP. Up to this point in time we still have not received any response 2. We reiterate that our agricultural activities are NOT being carried out on property owned by the Shipibo community of Santa Clara de Uchunya , demonstrated not only in the field of pure national and international law and binding agreements , but also with full respect for customary laws of Indigenous peoples , through the following considerations : • The Regional Government of Ucayali , according to its competence, by Regional Executive Resolution No.

We examine the commercial charcoal commodity chain from its production in Ucayali, in the Peruvian Amazon, to its sale in the national market. Using a mixed-methods approach, we look at the actors involved in the commodity chain and their relationships, including the distribution of benefits along the chain. We outline the obstacles and opportunities for a more equitable charcoal supply chain within a multi-level governance context. The results show that charcoal provides an important livelihood for most of the actors along the supply chain, including rural poor and women. We find that the decentralisation process in Peru has implications for the formalisation of charcoal supply chains, a traditionally informal, particularly related to multi-level institutional obstacles to equitable commerce. This results in inequity in the supply chain, which persecutes the poorest participants and supports the most powerful actors.

  • "Amazónicas" Son Las Lenguas Kawapana? Contacto Con Las Lenguas Centro-Andinas Y Elementos Para Un Área Lingüística Intermedia*
    ¿Qué tan "amazónicas" son las lenguas kawapana? Contacto con las lenguas centro-andinas y elementos para un área lingüística intermedia* Pilar M. Valenzuela Chapman University "…las conexiones entre las tierras altas y bajas son longevas, dinámicas, fluctuantes y multidireccionales. Captarlas en toda su complejidad es una tarea que está por hacer en buena cuenta". (Kaulicke 2013: 25). RESUMEN La familia lingüística kawapana del nororiente peruano está conformada por los idiomas shiwilu y shawi, también conocidos como jebero y chayahuita respectivamente. Por lo común, se suele categorizar a las lenguas kawapana como entidades lingüísticas "amazónicas". No obstante, el presente estudio demuestra que estas comparten semejanzas gramaticales apreciables con las familias centro-andinas quechua y aimara, así como con otros idiomas de las tierras bajas relativamente cercanos. Dicha convergencia sería el resultado de cambios lingüísticos inducidos por el contacto o la difusión indirecta. Además de develar el complejo perfil gramatical de las lenguas kawapana, el presente estudio proporciona evidencia en favor de un área lingüística intermedia entre la Amazonía y los Andes, de la cual los idiomas kawapana formarían parte. Palabras clave: kawapana/cahuapana, quechua, aimara, contacto lingüístico, área lingüística. ABSTRACT The kawapana linguistic family of northeastern Peru is formed by shiwilu and shawi languages, also known as Jebero and Chayahuita respectively. Ordinarily, it is usually categorize kawapana languages as "Amazonian" linguistic entities. However, this study shows that they share significant grammatical similarities to the central-andean quechua and aymara families, as well as other languages of the relatively nearby lowlands. This convergence would be the result of linguistic changes induced by contact or indirect dissemination.

  • Typological Differences in Morphological Patterns, Gender Features, and Thematic Structure in the L2 Acquisition of Ashaninka Spanish

In this study, we explore three challenging aspects of the morphology of Spanish among advanced L1 Ashaninka—L2 Spanish speakers: (i) the acquisition of proclitics and enclitics with inflected verbs; (ii) the distribution of accusative clitics according to the thematic role of the direct object in anaphoric and doubling structures; and (iii) the distribution of clitic forms and their association with gender features. Our results show evidence of the L2 acquisition of clitic structures in L2 Spanish speakers, and no difference between native and L2 speakers regarding sensitivity to thematic roles. However, there are statistically significant differences between groups in the distribution of the gender specification of the clitic antecedents or doubled determiner phrases (DPs). We take these results as evidence in support of the view that morphological patterns can be acquired (proclitics vs. suffixes) as well as preferences for mapping thematic roles onto clitics, but subtle differences in the continuum of preferences for mapping gender features are more difficult to acquire.

Arawak languages are spoken in lowland Amazonia and beyond, covering French Guiana, Suriname, Guiana, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia, and formerly in Paraguay and Argentina. Wayuunaiki (or Guajiro), spoken in the region of the Guajiro peninsula in Venezuela and Colombia, is the largest language of the family. Garifuna is the only Arawak language spoken in Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala in Central America. Groups of Arawak speakers must have migrated from the Caribbean coast to the Antilles a few hundred years before the European conquest. At least several dozen Arawak languages have become extinct since the European conquest. The highest number of recorded Arawak languages is centered in the region between the Rio Negro and the Orinoco.
