Abstract Vitality of Damana, the language of the Wiwa People The Wiwa are Indigenous1 people who live in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia. This project examines the vitality of Damana [ISO 693-3: mbp], their language, in two communities that offer high school education in Damana and Spanish. Its aim is to measure the level of endangerment of Damana according to the factors used in the UNESCO Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through a questionnaire that gathered demographic and background language information, self-reported proficiency and use of Spanish and Damana [n=56]. -

Rundreise i Nordperu 17Dager Machete Tours Danmark 1 Side Rundreise i Nordperu 17 Dager Har du besøkt Peru før? Eller ønsker du ganske enkelt ikke å vandre på de samme turiststier som alle andre? Kanskje du vil se noe annet enn det berømte inkacitadellet Machu Picchu? Eller du ikke ønsker å reise gjennom Den hellige dalen? Men vil alli- kevel utforske en gammel sivilisasjon og nyte den vakre naturen? Da er en rundreise i det nordlige Peru noe for deg! Denne reisen tar deg med til Amazonas-regnskogens periferi, og videre til verdens tørreste ørken Atacama, og til verdens høyest beliggende tropiske fjellkjede, Cordille- ra Blanca. Vi utforsker regionens rike arkeologiske arv. Slik som det unike Chavin de Huantar som er på UNESCOs verdensarvliste, og som dateres til år 800 før Kristus. Vi drar videre til Chachapoyas-skogene og den enorme fjellbyen Kuelap som er over 1000 år gammel. Så besøker vi pyramidene i Sipan, Tucume og byen Chan Chan som er bygget av soltørket tegl! Dette er levninger fra kulturer som bodde her lenge før inkafolket. Under reisen er det tid til å slappe av på noen av de flotteste strendene i Peru ved Mancora. Mancora er perfekt for bading, og regnes som et av Sør-Amerikas beste steder for surfing.

Forms and Functions of Negation in Huaraz Quechua (Ancash, Peru): Analyzing the Interplay of Common Knowledge and Sociocultural Settings Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Philosophie am Fachbereich Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften der Freien Universität Berlin vorgelegt von Cristina Villari aus Verona (Italien) Berlin 2017 1. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Michael Dürr 2. Gutachterin: Prof. Dr. Ingrid Kummels Tag der Disputation: 18.07.2017 To Ani and Leonel III Acknowledgements I wish to thank my teachers, colleagues and friends who have provided guidance, comments and encouragement through this process. I gratefully acknowledge the support received for this project from the Stiftung Lateinamerikanische Literatur. Many thanks go to my first supervisor Prof. Michael Dürr for his constructive comments and suggestions at every stage of this work. Many of his questions led to findings presented here. I am indebted to him for his precious counsel and detailed review of my drafts. Many thanks also go to my second supervisor Prof. Ingrid Kummels. She introduced me to the world of cultural anthropology during the doctoral colloquium at the Latin American Institute at the Free University of Berlin. The feedback she and my colleagues provided was instrumental in composing the sociolinguistic part of this work. I owe enormous gratitude to Leonel Menacho López and Anita Julca de Menacho. In fact, this project would not have been possible without their invaluable advice. During these years of research they have been more than consultants; Quechua teachers, comrades, guides and friends. With Leonel I have discussed most of the examples presented in this dissertation. It is only thanks to his contributions that I was able to explain nuances of meanings and the cultural background of the different expressions presented. -
Semantic Transparency in the Lowland Quechua Morphosyntax
Semantic transparency in Lowland Ecuadorian Quechua morphosyntax1 PIETER MUYSKEN Abstract In this paper the properties of Lowland Ecuadorian Quechua, a possibly pidginized variety from this Andean indigenous language family, are eval- uated in the light of the semantic-transparency hypothesis. It is argued that the typological perspective created by looking at a wider range of languages brings some of the basic ideas developed for creole languages into focus. 1. Introduction One of Pieter Seuren’s contributions to the field of creole studies has been the idea that creoles somehow represent semantically transparent structures, as a result of their special history. Together with the late Herman Wekker, Seuren has particularly elaborated this idea in their joint 1986 paper. The dimensions of semantic transparency proposed by Seuren and Wekker (1986: 64) are uniformity, universality, and simplicity. Furthermore, Pieter Seuren has repeatedly stressed the importance of typological considerations, most recently in his Western Linguistics (1998). In this brief paper I will start to illustrate the workings of the principle of semantic transparency for the possibly pidginized Quechua of the Amazonian lowlands of eastern Ecuador, Lowland Ecuadorian Quechua (LEQ). This variety has been described by Leonardi (1966) and Mugica (1967) and is represented in texts gathered by Oberem and Hartmann (1971), but the present paper is based mostly on my own fieldwork in Arajuno (Tena province). Quechua is spoken (by more than eight million speakers) mostly in rural areas of the highlands of Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador, but small pockets of speakers are also found on the slopes of the Amazon basin of Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Ecuador. -

Languages of the Middle Andes in Areal-Typological Perspective: Emphasis on Quechuan and Aymaran
Languages of the Middle Andes in areal-typological perspective: Emphasis on Quechuan and Aymaran Willem F.H. Adelaar 1. Introduction1 Among the indigenous languages of the Andean region of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, northern Chile and northern Argentina, Quechuan and Aymaran have traditionally occupied a dominant position. Both Quechuan and Aymaran are language families of several million speakers each. Quechuan consists of a conglomerate of geo- graphically defined varieties, traditionally referred to as Quechua “dialects”, not- withstanding the fact that mutual intelligibility is often lacking. Present-day Ayma- ran consists of two distinct languages that are not normally referred to as “dialects”. The absence of a demonstrable genetic relationship between the Quechuan and Aymaran language families, accompanied by a lack of recognizable external gen- etic connections, suggests a long period of independent development, which may hark back to a period of incipient subsistence agriculture roughly dated between 8000 and 5000 BP (Torero 2002: 123–124), long before the Andean civilization at- tained its highest stages of complexity. Quechuan and Aymaran feature a great amount of detailed structural, phono- logical and lexical similarities and thus exemplify one of the most intriguing and intense cases of language contact to be found in the entire world. Often treated as a product of long-term convergence, the similarities between the Quechuan and Ay- maran families can best be understood as the result of an intense period of social and cultural intertwinement, which must have pre-dated the stage of the proto-lan- guages and was in turn followed by a protracted process of incidental and locally confined diffusion. -
Morphosyntactic Properties of Chibchan Verbal Person Marking1 Matthias Pache Leiden University
Morphosyntactic Properties of Chibchan Verbal Person Marking1 Matthias Pache Leiden University In typological terms, Chibchan is among the more heterogeneous language families in the Americas. This language family may therefore be considered as a relevant source of information on typological diversity and change. Chibchan languages are spoken in an area that extends from Honduras in the west to Venezuela in the east (see Map 1). In this language family, Adelaar (2007) has noted an uneven distribution of morphological complexity in terms of the number of categories encoded by bound elements. As a rule of thumb, the morphological complexity of Chibchan languages spoken in the eastern parts of the distribution area is relatively high. In contrast, several Chibchan languages spoken in Central America (Panama, Costa Rica) are somewhat less complex, morphologically speaking, that is, they tend to make use of more analytic constructions. One core area of typological diversity within Chibchan is verbal person marking, with synthetic verbal person marking attested for instance in Muisca and Barí (eastern part of the distribution area), and more analytic strategies attested for instance in Cabécar and Guaymí (central-western part of the distribution area) (see (1) and (2)).2 Barí (1) 'i-bɾa-mi 3.IO-speak-2SG.SBJ ‘Talk with him/her!’ (Héctor Achirabú, p.c.)

Introduction
INTRODUCTION In publishing the Kluger Collection, presently held in the collections of the Cracow Archeological Museum, the present author has made use of the model developed in earlier publications belonging to the series Corpus Antiquitatum Americanensium. Two catalogues of collections of Peruvian pottery that were available during the work on the Kluger Collection (S. Purin 1978, 1980; I. Schjellerup 1986) proved to be of great use. Both these publications dealt with single-culture collections (Moche and Chimú respectively), and were prefaced by a lengthy introduction regarding the history of scholarship, the chronology, and the manufacturing technology used to make the pottery of both these cultures. In the case of the present catalogue, however, such an approach would not seem to serve any purpose, in view of the heterogeneity of the materials that make up the collection, as well as the present author's frequent doubts concerning the cultural attribution of a significant number of these vessels. The limited time available to prepare this publication has prevented more intensive study on each of the cultures represented. In many cases, these cultures have in any event been studied only to a limited extent to date, and the literature is not easily accessible. The Kluger Collection is the largest collection in Poland of artifacts from the Pre-Columbian cultures of ancient Peru; nevertheless, the pottery material included in the Collection may appear to be rather modest, in comparison to other world collections, or European collections, for that matter, which often number hundreds or even thousands of vessels. Created over 120 years ago, often kept under poor conditions, inexpertly maintained for many years, the Collection has suffered many quantitative and qualitative losses. -

The project was carried out in villages of the six southern provinces of the department of Cajamarca. The comparison was performed tak- ing into account two parameters: technical uniformity or diversity in ‘plain’ pottery and weaving, and presence or absence of lexical items of indigenous origin – both Quechua and pre-Quechua – in the vocabulary of both handicraft activities. Pottery and weaving differ in the two observed domains. On the one hand, pottery shows more technical diver- sity than weaving: two different manufacturing techniques, with variants, were identied in pottery. Weaving with the backstrap loom ( telar de cintura ) is the only manufacturing tech- nique of probable precolonial origin in the area, and demonstrates remarkable uniformity in Southern Cajamarca, considering the toolkit and the basic sequence of ‘plain’ weaving. -
