The situation has changed dramatically – in the last 15 years or so, grammars and dictionaries of numerous previously poorly known languages have been produced and considerable progress has been made in the understanding of many aspects of South American indigenous languages. Significant advances have been achieved in understanding of their history and clas- sification, of language contact and potential linguistic areas, of their structural characteristics and typological traits, and of unusual features found among South American languages that contribute to greater understanding of the full range of what is possible in human languages. Given the exceptional amounts of new in- formation on nearly all aspects of these languages, now is an excellent time to bring these results together and to provide a survey of the current state of knowledge con- cerning South American Indian languages and to contribute to an assessment of where future research might best be aimed. The chapters of this volume attempt to provide that view. Not only do these chapters assess the state of knowledge in their areas, each chapter – written by foremost specialists in these areas – also provides much new information, assembled here for the first time. Initially the plan was that most of the chapters would be written by Latin American scholars who are specialists in the particular areas. However, for differ- ent and unconnected reasons, several of these authors had to withdraw and in these cases North American or European scholars stepped in to provide these sections. For example, when the original author for the chapter on the typology of South American indigenous languages was unable to prepare this chapter, it fell to Lyle Campbell, one of the editors of the volume, to do this. This explains why Campbell has more than one chapter in the volume, though that had not been the intention. The chapters cover principal topics in South American Indian linguistics. Willem Adelaar’s “Historical overview: Descriptive and comparative research on South American Indian” languages provides context and the historical overview of what we know of these languages and of the research that has been done. The chapter “Classification of the indigenous languages of South America”, by Lyle Campbell, provides an extensive survey of South America’s remarkable linguistic diversity, with the most current information on the classification of South Ameri- ca’s 53 language families and 55 isolates, that is, 108 known families and isolates together, including assessment of proposals of more distant relationships and list- ing of named but mostly unknown other “languages”. Mily Crevels provides an exceptionally detailed and insightful assessment of South America’s endangered languages in “Language endangerment in South America: The clock is ticking”. Bereitgestellt von | Radboud University Nijmegen (Radboud University Nijmegen) Angemeldet | 172.16.1.226 Heruntergeladen am | 06.02.12 13:07 x Lyle Campbell and Verónica Grondona Pieter Muysken’s chapter, “Contacts between indigenous languages in South America”, describes aspects of language contact among the languages of South America, a vast and almost intractable topic made accessible in Muysken’s highly informative treatment. Structural and typological traits of South American languages are addressed in three chapters. Luciana Storto and Didier Demolin survey the extensive literature in their chapter “The phonetics and phonology of South American languages”. These languages have provided many new insights for phonetics and phonology. In “Typological characteristics of South American indigenous languages”, Lyle Campbell focuses on unique or unusual typological traits in South America which contribute to typology generally and on traits characteristic of particular areas of South America. Adelaar, in his chapter “Languages of the Middle Andes in areal- typological perspective: Emphasis on Quechuan and Aymaran”, examines typo- logical traits among Andean languages. The extreme genetic and typological di- versity encountered in South American languages makes the findings discussed here of particular value to linguistics generally. Given that South America has about one fourth of the language families (in- cluding isolates) of the world, it is obviously not possible to discuss each family in detail in this book. Instead, some of the most influential language families and areas were selected for specific treatment. Adolfo Constenla Umaña provides a de- finitive and authoritative treatment of the Chibchan languages, with a history of the research on languages of this family, phonological and grammatical reconstruction of Proto-Chibchan, subgrouping classification, proposals concerning external rela- tionships, Proto-Chibchan homeland, lexical reconstruction and the culture of the speakers of Proto-Chibchan, and linguistic areas which involve Chibchan lan- guages. Spike Gildea, in “Linguistic studies in the Cariban family”, gives a thor- ough survey and updating of the significant aspects of Cariban linguistics. The chapter covers classification and subgrouping of Cariban languages, survey of recent literature, possible broader connections, phonological features of the proto language and aspects of phonology in the modern languages, the issue of adjec- tives, and the complex verb alignment in these languages and their historical developments.

Epps and Salanova: The Languages of Amazonia ARTICLE The Languages of Amazonia Patience Epps University of Texas at Austin Andrés Pablo Salanova University of Ottawa Introduction Amazonia is a linguistic treasure-trove. In this region, defined roughly as the area of the Amazon and Orinoco basins, the diversity of languages is immense, with some 300 indigenous languages corresponding to over 50 distinct ‘genealogical’ units (see Rodrigues 2000) – language families or language isolates for which no relationship to any other has yet been conclusively demonstrated; as distinct, for example, as Japanese and Spanish, or German and Basque (see section 12 below). Yet our knowledge of these languages has long been minimal, so much so that the region was described only a decade ago as a “linguistic black box" (Grinevald 1998:127).

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION CITIZENSHIP IN TWENTIETH- CENTURY ARGENTINA BENJAMIN BRYCE AND DAVID M. K. SHEININ t many moments in the twentieth century, the meaning of citizen- ship in Argentina has changed. In 1912, electoral reform expanded Avoting rights from elite men to include all men born or naturalized in the country.1 Only in 1947 did the franchise expand to include women. Yet, that alone is not the story of Argentine citizenship. When electoral democ- racy was interrupted in 1930, 1943, 1955, 1962, 1966, and 1976, people did not cease to be citizens. When Juan Perón became president in 1946, he cam- paigned heavily on the idea of social justice. During his populist rule, the rights of citizenship came to encompass greater access to social services and housing as well as higher wages. Throughout the century, citizenship—as a concept invoked by diverse groups of people—has defined people’s relation- ship with the state and their expectations about that state. It also shaped the rights and duties of not only Argentines but also foreign nationals living in the country. The language of citizenship was also fundamentally about belonging. Scholars in this volume and beyond use terms such as cultural, moral, and social citizenship. In seeking out these cultural, moral, and social require- ments, groups with power excluded others whose status in Argentine society was vulnerable. Even if formally citizens, workers, indigenous peoples, racial- ized groups, leftists, and religious minorities have often not been included in the Argentine body politic or have not experienced the same rights as others in many periods of the past century.

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.

  • 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.
