For other uses, see Wiraqucha (disambiguation). Viracocha is the great creator god in the pre-Inca and Inca mythology in the Andes region of South America. Full name and some spelling alternatives are Wiracocha, Apu Qun Tiqsi Wiraqutra, and Con-Tici (also spelled Kon-Tiki) Viracocha. Viracocha was one of the most important deities in the Inca pantheon and seen as the creator of all things, or the substance from which all things are created, and intimately associated with the sea.[1] Viracocha created the universe, sun, moon, and stars, time (by commanding the sun to move over the sky) and civilization itself. Viracocha was worshipped as god of the sun and of storms. He was represented as wearing the sun for a crown, with thunderbolts in his hands, and tears descending from his eyes as rain. Cosmogony according to Spanish accounts According to a myth recorded by Juan de Betanzos,[2] Viracocha rose from Lake Titicaca (or sometimes the cave of Paqariq Tampu) during the time of darkness to bring forth light.

Chapter 26 Sakha and Dolgan, the North Siberian Turkic languages Brigitte Pakendorf and Eugenie Stapert Abstract This chapter provides a brief structural overview of the North Siberian Turkic languages Sakha (also known as Yakut) and Dolgan. Both languages are spoken in the northeast of the Russian Federation: Sakha in the Republic Sakha (Yakutia) and Dolgan on the Taimyr Peninsula. These languages clearly fit the Turkic linguistic profile with vowel harmony, agglutinative morphology, SOV word order, and preposed relative clauses, but due to contact-induced changes there are considerable differences from other Turkic languages as well. Notable differences are the loss of the Turkic genitive and locative case and the development of a partitive and comparative case, as well as a distinction between an immediate and a remote imperative.

    Baker, Georgian vs. Basque, 4/5/2017 1 How Georgian is (not) like Basque: a comparative case study of split-S languages James Baker, University of Cambridge CamCoS, 4th May 2017 1 Introduction 1.1 Split-S languages Split-S:1 morphosyntactic alignment where dierent intransitive predicates occur with dierent case/agreement/(word order): (1) Central Pomo (Pomoan, California): a. Pa· qhadé·č’. I.agt ght ‘I ght.’ b. ”to· ló·ya. I.pat fell ‘I fell.’ (Mithun 1991: 518–9) In dierent split-S languages, the split amongst intransitive predicates is sensitive to dierent (predominantly semantic) factors (Mithun 1991, Donohue and Wichmann 2008, Baker in preparation, a.o.), for example: 1Also known as ‘split intransitive’, ‘semantically aligned’, ‘active(-stative)’, ‘agentive-patientive’ etc. etc. I here take ‘uid-S’ as a subset of split-S (cf. Dixon 1994)—see Baker in preparation for discussion. Baker, Georgian vs. Basque, 4/5/2017 2 • [±volition]: Eastern Pomo, Tabassaran, ~Tsova-Tush ...

Here: focus on two relatively similar split-S languages, Basque and Georgian. 1.2 The Split Intransitivity Hierarchy Starting point for analysis is Sorace’s (2000 et seq.)

Many of them are common to Eurasian languages of the Altaic and Uralic types. While often dealt with in typologically oriented linguistic work, most aspects of Turkic structure still call for more unbiased and differentiated description.
