Tavoitteena on selvittää, miten kielellisiä eroavaisuuksia voidaan mitata, ja miten näitä eroja voidaan selittää. Tarkoituksena on myös kuvata diversiteetin vaihtelua diakronisesti Etelä-Amerikassa ja ehdottaa syitä diversiteetin muutoksille. Yhtäältä tutkielma on siis kvantitatiivinen, mutta toisaalta myös kvalitatiivinen. Tavoitteena on lisäksi vastata seuraaviin kysymyksiin: Missä määrin olemassaolevat sukulaisuussuhteet vaikuttavat kielten välisiin eroihin? Voivatko maantieteelliset ja sosioekonomiset tekijät selittää kielellisiä eroavaisuuksia kielten välillä? Tutkielmassa esitetään myös hypoteesi, jonka mukaan kielten elinympäristö ja kielelliset eroavaisuudet korreloivat keskenään. Tutkielman teoreettisena taustana toimii kielellisen diversiteetin

  • The Case of Muruiñoz from Northwest Amazonia
    DOI: 10.26346/1120-2726-171 Language contact and change: The case of Muruiñoz from northwest Amazonia Katarzyna I. Wojtylak University of Regensburg, Germany <[email protected]> This study shows the evidence of bi-directional transfer resulting from bilingual- ism, but with analysis of the effect of Spanish on Murui, a Witotoan language spo- ken by about 1,000 people in the Colombian and Peruvian regions of northwest Amazonia. The current sociolinguistic situation of the Murui is characterized by a rapidly progressing language shift towards Spanish. The language shift is an obvi- ous consequence of the process of cultural interaction with the dominant cultures of Colombia and Peru over the course of the last centuries. Today, with many tradi- tional norms and values lost, young children are brought up solely in Spanish and the knowledge of the language of their parents and grandparents is quite limited. Only some of them acquire the language through interaction later in their life, usu- ally as young teens and young adults. Murui elders frequently complain that the speech of younger generations is ‘impoverished’ and ‘incorrect’. This paper is a first attempt at a comparison between the features of ‘traditional’ Murui language (as spoken by the elders) and ‘innovative’ Murui (as spoken by the younger people). It identifies contact-induced change on phonological, morphological, and lexical level under the impact of Spanish. Special attention is given to negation, possession, and markers of comparative constructions, as well as Murui lexicon. Keywords: Amazonian languages, Witotoan languages, Murui language, Spanish, language loss, borrowing, structural changes. 1.

  • Comparative Constructions in Murui (Witotoan, Northwest Amazonia)
    Comparative Constructions in Murui (Witotoan, Northwest Amazonia) Katarzyna I. Wojtylak Language and Culture Research Centre, James Cook University This paper focuses on the forms and functions of various comparative constructions found in Murui, a Witotoan language of Northwest Amazonia (Colombia, Peru). It analyses different types of comparative construction, their forms, and semantics. This includes a set of special markers that express comparison, as well as those forms that are used in equative and similative constructions. 1. Introduction Murui (also called Bue, Huitoto, or Witoto) is spoken by about 2000 people that inhabit the areas along the banks of the Cara-Paraná River in Colombia, and Ampiyacu and Napo Rivers in Peru (OIMA, 2008) (see Map 1).1 Map 1. Location of the Witoto-speaking groups in Northwest Amazonia (author’s map) 1Information on Murui was obtained during an immersion fieldwork of 12 months on the Cara-Paraná River in Colombia, conducted between July 2013 and April 2016 to collect data for the reference grammar of Murui (Wojtylak 2017). The corpus was assembled from recordings of narrative teXts (that deal with the group’s everyday activities, mythology, past memories, etc.) and spontaneous language production (following methods of the Basic Linguistic Theory approach, DiXon 2010a-b, 2012). It includes over 700 pages of analysed and glossed teXts, as well as over 1200 pages of field notes. Thanks to the Murui people for their patience and to the participants of the workshop ‘Comparative and Superlative Constructions: Typology and Diachrony’ (Amsterdam, 16-17 June 2015), as well as AleXandra Aikhenvald and Yvonne Treis for their helpful comments on the material.

  • Spanish in Contact in the Peruvian Amazon: an Examination of Intervocalic Voiced Stops
    Spanish in Contact in the Peruvian Amazon: An Examination of Intervocalic Voiced Stops Erin O’Rourke and Stephen Fafulas 1. Introduction 1.1. Overview Spanish is in contact with many languages, in diverse regions, a situation that has been studied in depth from numerous perspectives (see Díaz-Campos 2011). Nonetheless, relatively little attention has been devoted to the Amazon, where Spanish is in contact with dozens of less well-known languages (Dixon & Aikhenvald 1999, Aikhenvald 2012). In a recent treatment of Peruvian Amazonian Spanish, Jara Yupanqui (2012) notes that a number of historical and ideological factors have contributed to the development of Spanish within this region, including the prehispanic existence of an indigenous lingua franca, the role of Jesuit missions and subsequent land owners in the spread of Spanish, as well the surge in migration from other highland, coastal, and Portuguese-speaking regions due to the rubber trade and later oil extraction. The current study adds to our knowledge of the Spanish spoken in this region, specifically a variety which has emerged due in part to contact between Spanish and Bora, an Amazonian language spoken along the Amazon basin of Colombia and Peru (Thiesen 1996). Similar to a number of indigenous communities in this region (Cerrón-Palomino 1989, Freeland 1996, Thiesen & Weber 2012), ethnically dominant Bora communities are shifting to Spanish. Bora has a phonological inventory that is different from Spanish (Thiesen & Weber 2012), including the lack of voiced stops, which raises questions regarding the phonological inventory of bilingual speakers of these two languages. In the current investigation we begin to address these issues with an experimental analysis of Spanish voiced stops produced by bilinguals from three Bora-Spanish communities of the North-Western Amazonian region of Peru.

    T6 Table[6.[Languages T6 T6 DeweyT6iDecima Tablel[iClassification6.[Languages T6 *‡Table 6. Languages The following notation is never used alone, but may be used with those numbers from the schedules and other tables to which the classifier is instructed to add notation from Table 6, e.g., translations of the Bible (220.5) into Dutch (—3931 in this table): 220.53931; regions (notation —175 from Table 2) where Spanish language (—61 in this table) predominates: Table 2 notation 17561. When adding to a number from the schedules, always insert a decimal point between the third and fourth digits of the complete number Unless there is specific provision for the old or middle form of a modern language, class these forms with the modern language, e.g., Old High German —31, but Old English —29 Unless there is specific provision for a dialect of a language, class the dialect with the language, e.g., American English dialects —21, but Swiss-German dialect —35 Unless there is a specific provision for a pidgin, creole, or mixed language, class it with the source language from which more of its vocabulary comes than from its other source language(s), e.g., Crioulo language —69, but Papiamento —68. If in doubt, prefer the language coming last in Table 6, e.g., Michif —97323 (not —41) The numbers in this table do not necessarily correspond exactly to the numbers used for individual languages in 420–490 and in 810–890. For example, although the base number for English in 420–490 is 42, the number for English in Table 6 is —21, not —2 (Option A: To give local emphasis and a shorter number to a specific language, place it first by use of a letter or other symbol, e.g., Arabic language 6_A [preceding 6_1].
