  • With Indigenous and Caboclo-Riverside Residents: an Experience Report in the Amazon
    International Journal for Innovation Education and Research ISSN: 2411-2933 The Resignification of Medical Practices based on Contact with the Other - with Indigenous and Caboclo-Riverside Residents: An Experience Report in the Amazon Fernanda Cessel Marques; João Vitor Mendes Vilela; Tirza Almeida da Silva; Kenne Samara Andrade Martins; Eduardo Jorge Sant Ana Honorato; Sônia Maria Lemos. Abstract Introduction: The Amazonas' State University provides Nursing, Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy degrees with the experience of Rural Training in Public Health. Two MD students had high expectations of experiencing health care in the Amazonas interior, as they realized that there was a lapse in their academic training. They questioned the fact that they were about to take the place of "doctors trained by the state of Amazonas" without knowing the population, ethnocultural and geographical variety of the region. This lack encouraged the choice of the location of the internship to be the city of São Gabriel da Cachoeira. Methods: Meetings and lectures were held with health teams that enabled clinical experiences and interactions with indigenous and riverside residents. Finally, seminars/activity reports were produced, which contributed to the awakening of reflections on medical practices. Thus, this experience report is based on the particular apprehension of the reality described, based on daily observation. Results and Discussions: During the internship, the students began to question and deconstruct the doctor-user relationship hierarchy. Conclusions:

  • Linguistic Hybridity: a Case Study in the Kotiria Community
    Kristine Stenzel Federal University of Rio de Janeiro Velda Khoo University of Colorado Boulder LINGUISTIC HYBRIDITY: A CASE STUDY IN THE KOTIRIA COMMUNITY Abstract: This article discusses language practice, ideology, and identity construction among the Kotiria (East Tukano), an indigenous people of the multilingual Vaupés region in northwestern Amazonia. Based on detailed analysis of speech from a young Kotiria girl, it presents a case study of dissonance between reported language ideology — founded on the notion of ‘linguistic loyalty’ and presumably resulting in norms of monolingual speech — and actual language practice in this region. Drawing from current sociocultural linguistic theory on code-switching and multilingualism, it concludes that the alternations observed in this sample of spontaneous and unguarded speech cannot be explained by appealing to notions of difference, but are motivated by discourse-pragmatic considerations linked to previously unidentified connections between ‘indexical ideology’ and linguistic practice. Rather than looking for a divergence explanation for language alternation, it postulates a hybrid solution that indicates the existence of an as-yet unacknowledged ‘multilingual’ speech genre. It provides both a context-specific and data-driven look at language use in the multilingual Vaupés, and offers a theoretical contribution to our more general understanding of ideology and local speech practices in multilingual contexts.

  • A Reference Grammar of Wanano
    A REFERENCE GRAMMAR OF WANANO by KRISTINE SUE STENZEL B.A., Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, 1983 M.A., University of Colorado, 2002 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of http://www.etnolinguistica.org/tese:stenzel_2004 Doctor of Philosophy está disponível para download no seguinte endereço: Department of Linguistics Este arquivo, fornecido pela autora em agosto de 2012, 2004 Examining committee: Dr. Jule Gomez de Garcia Dr. Barbara Fox Dr. David Rood Dr. Melissa Axelrod Dr. Darna Dufour ABSTRACT Stenzel, Kristine Sue (Ph.D., Linguistics) A Reference Grammar of Wanano Thesis directed by Dr. Jule Gomez de Garcia and Dr. Barbara Fox This dissertation is a descriptive reference grammar of Wanano, an Eastern Tukano language spoken by approximately 1600 people living on the Vaupés River in northwestern Amazonia (Brazil and Colombia). Typologically, Wanano is a polysynthetic, agglutinating, nominative/accusative language whose prominent characteristics include suprasegmental nasalization and tone, an elaborate system of noun classification, and highly complex verbal morphology involving root serialization and obligatory coding of clause modality. The grammar is organized into seven chapters. Chapter 1 provides important socio- linguistic background information on the Wanano people: their location, demographics, and social organization, which is grounded in a marriage system based on linguistic exogamy. It also outlines current language maintenance efforts, which include the development of an orthography and materials for a Wanano bilingual education program. Chapter 2 discusses phonology, giving the phonemic inventory and presenting the basic features of suprasegmental nasalization and tonal phenomena.

  • Fonología De Dos Idiomas Tukano Del Piraparaná: Barasana Y Tatuyo
    AMERINDIA n° 29/30, 2004-2005 Fonología de dos idiomas tukano del Piraparaná: barasana y tatuyo Elsa GÓMEZ-IMBERT CNRS - U. Toulouse Le Mirail - ERSS 1.1 Introducción Este artículo presenta un análisis actualizado de dos idiomas TUKANO representativos de la cuenca del río Piraparaná: tatuyo (TAT) y barasana (BAS). Actualizado con relación a una primera descripción presentada en Gómez-Imbert y Hugh-Jones [GOM.HUG 00] elaborada antes de 1988 pero publicada en el año 2000 solamente, por motivos explicados en el prefacio del volumen donde apareció Lenguas Indígenas de Colombia: una visión descriptiva (LIC). Merece actualización en cuanto al grado de profundidad logrado en la comprensión de los procesos fonológicos que operan en esta familia lingüística. Habiendo comenzado mi trabajo de campo sobre BAS en 1984, sólo podía presentar en ese entonces una primera aproximación descriptiva, en especial de los tonos, pues para entenderlos fue preciso abandonar la fonología lineal estructuralista y tentar interpretaciones dentro de un marco teórico multilineal, interpretación que presento hoy. Mi objetivo es mostrar que, allende la comparación léxica, otros niveles de análisis tales como la fonología permiten proyecciones fructuosas desde un plano sincrónico hacia el diacrónico, introduciendo en la comparación el dinamismo propio a los sistemas fonológicos. Después de una introducción a los grupos (§1.2) y a los estudios sobre idiomas del Piraparaná (§1.3), paso a presentar la fonología proponiendo primero un modelo de relación entre segmentos y sílabas (§2). 44 AMERINDIA n°29/30, 2004-2005 Prosigo con la identificación de las clases de vocales (§3) y de consonantes (§4), establecidas según los procesos fonológicos y las restricciones fonotácticas detectados.

Introduction In the past 20 years, the application of quantitative methods in historical lin- guistics has received a lot of attention. Traditional historical linguistics relies on the comparative method in order to determine the genealogical related- ness of languages. More recent quantitative approaches attempt to automate this process, either by developing computational tools that complement the comparative method (Steiner et al. 2010) or by applying fully automatized methods that take into account very limited or no linguistic knowledge, e.g. the Levenshtein approach. The Levenshtein method has been extensively used in dialectometry to measure the distances between various dialects (Kessler 1995; Heeringa 2004; Nerbonne 1996). It has also been frequently used to analyze the relatedness between languages, such as Indo-European (Serva and Petroni 2008; Blanchard et al. 2010), Austronesian (Petroni and Serva 2008), and a very large sample of 3002 languages (Holman 2010). In this paper we will examine the performance of the Levenshtein distance against n-gram models and a zipping approach by applying these methods to the same set of language data.

  • Exploring Phonological Areality in the Circum-Andean Region Using a Naive Bayes Classifier
    Exploring phonological areality in the circum-Andean region using a naive Bayes classifier Lev Michael, Will Chang, and Tammy Stark This paper describes the Core and Periphery technique, a quantitative method for exploring areality that uses a naive Bayes classifier, a statistical tool for inferring class membership based on training sets assembled from members of those classes. The Core and Periphery technique is applied to the exploration of phonological areality in the Andes and surrounding lowland regions, based on the South American Phonological Inventory Database (SAPhon 1.1.3; Michael et al., 2013). Evidence is found for a phonological area centering on the Andean highlands, and extending to parts of the northern and central Andean foothills regions, the Chaco, and Patagonia. Evidence is also found for Southern and North-Central phonological sub-areas within this larger phonological area. Keywords: naive Bayes classifier; linguistic areality; Andean languages; South American languages 1. Introduction The goals of this paper are to describe the Core and Periphery technique, an intuitively appealing quantitative method for exploring large linguistic datasets for evidence of linguistic areality, and to illustrate the utility of this technique by applying it to a dataset of South American phonological inventories, focusing on the evidence of phonological areality in the Andes and surrounding lowland areas. Core and Periphery is a method that uses as a starting point linguists’ knowl- edge of the languages and history of a region to generate initial hypotheses regarding ‘cores’: sets of languages that constitute possible linguistic areas (Campbell et al., 1986; Thomason, 2000; Muysken, 2008), or parts of ones.
