Evidentemente gostaria de agradecer ao Prof. Dr. Georg Kremnitz por ter sido meu orientador e pela sua paciência e disposição em me ajudar. Agradeço e dedico este trabalho principalmente aos povos indígenas do Brasil pela enorme herança que deixaram no léxico e na cultura brasileira, herança que pode ser sentida até os dias atuais. III IV RESUMO O presente trabalho visa mostrar a riqueza e abundância da presença indígena no português do Brasil usando para isso como plano de fundo o contexto histórico- social. O objetivo é acompanhar os empréstimos linguísticos das línguas indígenas ao longo dos séculos até os dias atuais, saber quando foram mais intensos, em quais áreas mais se destacaram e qual impacto deixou na cultura brasileira. Foram encontrados diversos antropônimos, topônimos, nomes de instituições, utensílios, fragmentos na fraseologia, lendas, canções de origem indígena. Como resultado observa-se que a maior e mais incontestável contribuição das línguas indígenas ao português brasileiro encontra-se no léxico, principalmente nas palavras relacionadas com a natureza, a saber: a flora, a fauna, a toponímia, entre outros. Estes primeiros empréstimos estão relacionados à época da colonização do Brasil e ao prestígio que a língua dos nativos adquiriu com o passar do tempo. Como resultado observou-se também que os empréstimos de origem indígena ao português brasileiro no século XX e XXI e que aparecem sobretudo em nomes de instituições, campanhas publicitárias, em diversos campos da ciência como a Paleontologia, estão ligados a uma “brasilidade” e buscam diferenciar o Brasil diante de outros países, aportando- lhe um caráter autêntico e único. Palavras-chave: Português brasileiro, empréstimos linguísticos, línguas ameríndias, línguas indígenas. V VI ABSTRACT Die vorliegende Arbeit versucht, den Reichtum und die Fülle der indigenen Anwesenheit im Portugiesisch Brasiliens vor dem Hintergrund des historisch- soziologischen Kontextes aufzuzeigen. Das Ziel ist, die Lehnwörter der indigenen Sprachen durch die Jahrhunderte bis in die heutige Zeit zu begleiten, zu wissen, wann diese am stärksten verwendet wurden, in welchen Bereichen sie am stärksten hervorgetreten sind und welchen Eindruck sie in der Kultur Brasiliens hinterlassen haben. Zahlreiche Anthroponyme, Toponyme, Bezeichnungen von Institutionen, Gegenständen, Überbleibsel in der Phraseologie, Erzählungen und Lieder mit indigenem Ursprung werden beschrieben. Als Ergebnis wird dargelegt, dass sich der größte und unleugbarste Beitrag der indigenen Sprachen auf das brasilianische Portugiesisch im Wortschatz findet, hauptsächlich in Wörtern mit Bezug zur Natur, das bedeutet, Begriffe aus Flora und Fauna oder der Toponymie und ähnlichem. Diese ersten Lehnwörter sind mit der Epoche der Kolonisation Brasiliens verbunden und mit dem Ansehen, das die Sprache der Ureinwohner im Lauf der Zeit erwarb. Als Ergebnis zeigt sich auch, dass die Lehnwörter indigenen Ursprungs im brasilianischen Portugiesisch, die im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert vor allem in Bezeichnungen von Institutionen, Werbekampagnen und in diversen Gebieten der Wissenschaft erscheinen, mit einer brasilianischen Identitätsfindung verbunden sind und versuchen, Brasilien kulturell gegenüber anderen Ländern abzugrenzen und dem Land einen authentischen und einzigartigen Charakter zu verleihen.

Rivadavia 1917 - Cdad. de Buenos Aires, Argentina (Received 28 November 2008; revised 09 July 2009; accepted 14 July 2009) ABSTRACT The oldest unequivocal records of Dinosauria were unearthed from Late Triassic rocks (approximately 230 Ma) accumulated over extensional rift basins in southwestern Pangea. The better known of these are Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis, Pisanosaurus mertii, Eoraptor lunensis,andPanphagia protos from the Ischigualasto Formation, Argentina, and Staurikosaurus pricei and Saturnalia tupiniquim from the Santa Maria Formation, Brazil. No uncontroversial dinosaur body fossils are known from older strata, but the Middle Triassic origin of the lineage may be inferred from both the footprint record and its sister-group relation to Ladinian basal dinosauromorphs. These include the typical Marasuchus lilloensis, more basal forms such as Lagerpeton and Dromomeron, as well as silesaurids: a possibly monophyletic group composed of Mid-Late Triassic forms that may represent immediate sister taxa to dinosaurs. The first phylogenetic definition to fit the current understanding of Dinosauria as a node-based taxon solely composed of mutually exclusive Saurischia and Ornithischia was given as ‘‘all descendants of the most recent common ancestor of birds and Triceratops’’.

  • A Re-Evaluation of the Enigmatic Dinosauriform Caseosaurus Crosbyensis from the Late Triassic of Texas, USA and Its Implications for Early Dinosaur Evolution
    A re-evaluation of the enigmatic dinosauriform Caseosaurus crosbyensis from the Late Triassic of Texas, USA and its implications for early dinosaur evolution MATTHEW G. BARON and MEGAN E. WILLIAMS Baron, M.G. and Williams, M.E. 2018. A re-evaluation of the enigmatic dinosauriform Caseosaurus crosbyensis from the Late Triassic of Texas, USA and its implications for early dinosaur evolution. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 63 (1): 129–145. The holotype specimen of the Late Triassic dinosauriform Caseosaurus crosbyensis is redescribed and evaluated phylogenetically for the first time, providing new anatomical information and data on the earliest dinosaurs and their evolution within the dinosauromorph lineage. Historically, Caseosaurus crosbyensis has been considered to represent an early saurischian dinosaur, and often a herrerasaur. More recent work on Triassic dinosaurs has cast doubt over its supposed dinosaurian affinities and uncertainty about particular features in the holotype and only known specimen has led to the species being regarded as a dinosauriform of indeterminate position. Here, we present a new diagnosis for Caseosaurus crosbyensis and refer additional material to the taxon—a partial right ilium from Snyder Quarry. Our com- parisons and phylogenetic analyses suggest that Caseosaurus crosbyensis belongs in a clade with herrerasaurs and that this clade is the sister taxon of Dinosauria, rather than positioned within it. This result, along with other recent analyses of early dinosaurs, pulls apart what remains of the “traditional” group of dinosaurs collectively termed saurischians into a polyphyletic assemblage and implies that Dinosauria should be regarded as composed exclusively of Ornithoscelida (Ornithischia + Theropoda) and Sauropodomorpha. In addition, our analysis recovers the enigmatic European taxon Saltopus elginensis among herrerasaurs for the first time.

    ARTICLE doi:10.1038/nature21700 A new hypothesis of dinosaur relationships and early dinosaur evolution Matthew G. Baron1,2, David B. Norman1 & Paul M. Barrett2 For 130 years, dinosaurs have been divided into two distinct clades—Ornithischia and Saurischia. Here we present a hypothesis for the phylogenetic relationships of the major dinosaurian groups that challenges the current consensus concerning early dinosaur evolution and highlights problematic aspects of current cladistic definitions. Our study has found a sister-group relationship between Ornithischia and Theropoda (united in the new clade Ornithoscelida), with Sauropodomorpha and Herrerasauridae (as the redefined Saurischia) forming its monophyletic outgroup. This new tree topology requires redefinition and rediagnosis of Dinosauria and the subsidiary dinosaurian clades. In addition, it forces re-evaluations of early dinosaur cladogenesis and character evolution, suggests that hypercarnivory was acquired independently in herrerasaurids and theropods, and offers an explanation for many of the anatomical features previously regarded as notable convergences between theropods and early ornithischians.

[email protected] ABSTRACT – The Janner site (Upper Triassic of Southern Brazil) has been intensely explored, yielding constant new findings in recent years. Among these some fragmentary dinosaur specimens still not published were sampled. In this contribution, we describe these specimens, which represent five individuals, in order to increase our understanding on the anatomy of the dinosaurs that compose the paleofauna of the Janner site. The specimen CAPPA/UFSM 0270 is comprised of a series of six articulated presacral vertebrae, plus two isolated vertebrae associated with a right femur. UFRGS-PV-1232-T comprises a sacrum and a left ilium. CAPPA/UFSM 0271 comprises a right humerus that lacks the middle portion of the diaphysis. CAPPA/UFSM 00272 and 2073 are both comprised of an isolated femur each. The fragmentary condition of the materials hampers any less inclusive assignation.

Montefeltro8, Miguel Ezpeleta1,9 & Max C. Langer10 Present knowledge of Late Triassic tetrapod evolution, including the rise of dinosaurs, relies heavily on the fossil‑rich continental deposits of South America, their precise depositional histories and correlations. We report on an extended succession of the Ischigualasto Formation exposed in the Hoyada del Cerro Las Lajas (La Rioja, Argentina), where more than 100 tetrapod fossils were newly collected, augmented by historical fnds such as the ornithosuchid Venaticosuchus rusconii and the putative ornithischian Pisanosaurus mertii. Detailed lithostratigraphy combined with high‑precision U–Pb geochronology from three intercalated tufs are used to construct a robust Bayesian age model for the formation, constraining its deposition between 230.2 ± 1.9 Ma and 221.4 ± 1.2 Ma, and its fossil-bearing interval to 229.20 + 0.11/− 0.15–226.85 + 1.45/− 2.01 Ma. The latter is divided into a lower Hyperodapedon and an upper Teyumbaita biozones, based on the ranges of the eponymous rhynchosaurs, allowing biostratigraphic correlations to elsewhere in the Ischigualasto‑Villa Unión Basin, as well as to the Paraná Basin in Brazil. The temporally calibrated Ischigualasto biostratigraphy suggests the persistence of rhynchosaur-dominated faunas into the earliest Norian. Our ca. 229 Ma age assignment to Pi.
