Tone, Stress, and Their Interactions in Cushillococha Ticuna Abstract
Tone, stress, and their interactions in Cushillococha Ticuna Abstract: Ticuna (ISO: tca; Peru, Colombia, Brazil) displays a larger tone inventory -- five level tones -- and greater tone density than any other Indigenous American language outside Oto- Manguean. Based on recent fieldwork, this article argues that, in addition to these tone properties, the Cushillococha variety of Ticuna also displays stress. Stress licenses additional tonal and segmental contrasts; conditions many phonological processes; and plays a central role in grammatical tone processes marking clause type. Empirically, these findings expand our understanding of word prosody in Amazonian languages. Theoretically, they challenge current models of stress-conditioned phonology and of grammatical tone. Keywords: Tone; Stress; Stress-Conditioned Phonology; Amazonian Languages Word Count (includes tables and examples; excludes abstract and references): 14,432 1. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze the word-prosodic system of Ticuna – a language isolate spoken in the northwestern Amazon Basin – through data gathered in recent fieldwork in Cushillococha, Peru. The study makes two primary contributions. First, I provide evidence that the Cushillococha variety of Ticuna displays five underlying level tones, with eight surface tones (including contours) on monosyllables. My analysis of the tone inventory supports previous analyses by L. Anderson (1959) and D. Anderson (1962), and opposes Montes Rodriguez’ (1995, 2004) argument for only three level tones. This finding is typologically consequential because it establishes Ticuna as the only American language, outside the Oto-Manguean family, to display more than three underlying tones (Hyman 2010). Second, I argue that in addition to tone, the Cushillococha variety of Ticuna also displays fixed stem-initial stress. -

AIKHENVALD Australian National University, Canberra Abstract. This paper describes an unusual and complicated system of classi- fiers and agreement in Tariana (North Arawak, Brazil). Tariana has gender agreement in verb-argument constructions, and classifier agreement in head- modifier constructions. It has three subtypes of classifiers: numeral classifiers, demonstrative classifiers, and verb-incorporated, concordial, and genitive classifiers. Classifiers have anaphoric and discourse-pragmatic functions. Almost every derivational affix can be used as a classifier to mark agreement. Also, noun incorporationis used as an agreement device in head-modifiercon- structions, under specific discourse conditions. Thus, classifiers constitute a virtually open class of elements. -
Polysynthetic Structures of Lowland Amazonia
OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – REVISES, Sat Aug 19 2017, NEWGEN Chapter 15 Polysynthetic Structures of Lowland Amazonia Alexandra Y. Aikhenvald 15.1 Lowland Amazonian languages: a backdrop The Amazon basin is an area of high linguistic diversity (rivalled only by the island of New Guinea). It comprises around 350 languages grouped into over fifteen language families, in addition to a number of isolates. The six major linguistic families of the Amazon basin are as follows. • The Arawak language family is the largest in South America in terms of its geographical spread, with over forty extant languages between the Caribbean and Argentina. Well- established subgroups include Campa in Peru and a few small North Arawak groupings in Brazil and Venezuela. Arawak languages are spoken in at least ten locations north of the River Amazon, and in at least ten south of it. European languages contain a number of loans from Arawak languages, among them hammock and tobacco. • The Tupí language family consists of about seventy languages; nine of its ten branches are spoken exclusively in Amazonia. The largest branch, Tupí- Guaraní, extends beyond the Amazonian Basin into Bolivia and Paraguay. Loans from Tupí-Guaraní languages include jaguar and jacaranda. • Carib languages number about twenty five, and are spoken in various locations in Brazil and Venezuela in northern Amazonia, and in the region of the Upper Xingu and adjacent areas of Mato Grosso in Brazil south of the River Amazon. The place name ‘Caribbean’ and the noun cannibal (a version of the ethnonym ‘Carib’) are a legacy from Carib languages. • Panoan languages number about thirty, and are spoken on the eastern side of the Andes in Peru and adjacent areas of Brazil. -

Por ello, también sería imposible manifestar por escrito un agradecimiento personal a todas ellas. Sin embargo, aunque no aparezcan citadas, sus contribuciones aparecen concretadas en cada línea de este trabajo. Y son personas a quien manifiesto mi más sincero agradecimiento y a quienes siempre recordaré. En primer lugar, quiero manifestar mis más sinceros agradecimientos a mi directora de tesis, Dra. Fátima Cruz Souza, por su apoyo humano en los momentos difíciles y su orientación científica; sin ella, seguramente, no habría llegado hasta aquí, porque hacer un doctorado fuera del país de origen y escribir en otro idioma exige una superación constante de dificultades. Igualmente, quiero agradecer a mi Universidad (UEA) y a mi Centro - CEST - Universidad Estadual del Amazonas – Centro de Estudios Superiores de Tefé), en la persona del Ex Rector Dr. José Aldemir de Oliveira y del Actual, Dr. Cleinaldo de Almeida Costa, y en la persona de la profesora Drª.
