(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-08-30) SANTOS, Benedito de Sales; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9502308340482231
This paper investigates the acoustic correlates of the prominent syllable, henceforth accent mark in the apurinã language, taking in consideration the hypotheses of Facundes (2000) and Brandão ( 2010). The research investigates possible acoustic correlates of the stress such as F0, intensity and duration of the vowels in stressed syllables with secondary stress and unstressed syllables to verify, from statistical analysis, which one is the most important correlate associated with stress in the language. This paper is divides into three parts: 1) the introduction, where the people, language aspects, the methodology and the theorists used in the analysis are presented; 2) a brief approach about the stress described by Facundes and the application of the metrical stress theory proposed by Hayes (1995) explained; and in 3) is the acoustic analysis in itself and the result of the statistical tests as well as a brief conclusion and list of the words used in the research.

Concepção e elaboração de materiais de ensino para povos indígenas: o caso apurinã
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-12-21) DUARTE, Eládia Vieira; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9502308340482231
It analyses the main theoretical, practical and methodological issues directly related to the conception and design of Apurinã literacy materials, a language without written tradition are addressed. Following a case study methodology, the research included review of the literature, data collection in loco, analysis of the results and their implementation through the design of the Apurinã literacy material “Escrevendo em apurinã”. The literacy material was constructed in close collaboration with the Apurinã native speaker Norá, aiming to present in a didactic manner the Apurinã written system. The work also discusses how the material was developed, which difficulties were attested during this process, which criteria were considered in the sequencing and general organization of the content, which difficulties Apurinã professors had in understanding and using literacy materials in the classroom, and which solutions were found. Finally, the work shows how this kind of research and the resulting material can contribute to the process of revitalizing of an endangered, minority, language, with no social prestige and spoken by a small part of an ethnic group.

A contribuição dos estudos discursivos para a gramaática da língua Apurinã (Aruak)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-03-14) BARROS, Laise Maciel; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva; ttp://lattes.cnpq.br/9502308340482231; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7460-8620
This study aims to present a research on the Apurinã grammar, examining its interaction with semantics and discourse-pragmatics in order to investigate how certain uses of grammar cover the interaction between semantic, pragmatic and morphosyntactic properties. The grammatical elements involved in this research includ personal pronouns, discourse particles and the morphological form =nhi. In order to describe the relevant facts concerning these elements, I propose a descriptive analysis that tries to account for how the morphosyntax and the areas of semantics and pragmatics interact, since uses of the forms surveyed are directly associated with empathy or the speaker's intention, information flow and reference and sequence of events in discourse. This study adopts the principles of the typological-functional linguistics as they cover morphosyntactic, semantic and discourse-pragmatic properties.

Estudo do léxico da língua Apurinã uma proposta de macro e microestrura para o dicionário Apurinã
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-02-28) PADOVANI, Bruna Fernanda Soares de Lima; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9502308340482231; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7460-8620
This thesis aims to describe and analyze the lexicon of the Apurinã language (Aruák) with the purpose of elaborating a bilingual bi-directional general Apurinã-Portuguese/Portuguese- Apurinã dictionary. Apurinã is an indigenous ethnicity and a minority language spoken mainly in communities scattered along the banks of several tributaries of the Purus River in the south part of the state of Amazonas. This work sought to articulate academic and social objectives in which, on one hand, we have the description and analysis of the lexical system of the Apurinã language and, on the other, a comprehensive documentation of this language in order to ensure written registration of it, helping the Apurinã people in their native language teaching-learning and literacy initiatives. It is noteworthy that, in the case of Apurinã and other Brazilian indigenous languages, the importance of the latter aspect is increasing, since indigenous languages are in danger of extinction. To this end, this thesis was organized in two volumes. The first volume consists in four parts, which in turn consist of seven chapters. The second volume presents the Apurinã dictionary, product of this thesis. In the first part of the first volume entitled, Initial Considerations, we have in the first chapter an introduction to some general characteristics of the language, culture, and territory of the Apurinã people, as well as the context of the research; in the second chapter we present the theoretical contributions necessary for its construction; in the third chapter we discuss about the construction and organization of the corpus used in this research. In the second part, Apurinã Lexicon Structure, we present in the fourth chapter an overview of the phonetic-phonological aspects of Apurinã, where we show the inventory of vowels and consonants, pointing out the variations that occur involving some segments, and the different language spelling proposals; in the fifth chapter we focus on the open lexical categories of the language, beginning with the description of nouns, their subcategories, discuss the processes of lexical innovation, linguistic variation and the phenomenon of double vocabulary, then deal with verbs and their subcategories. In the sixth chapter, we deal with the closed lexical categories (pronouns, demonstratives, interrogative words, floating particles and morphemes), pointing out their main characteristics and functions. In the third part, Apurinã Dictionary, which is made up of the seventh chapter, we discuss how the dictionary was organized and the decisions made regarding the proposed macro and microstructure. The fourth part of this thesis, Final Considerations, is composed by the conclusions, where we make an overview of the work and the possible developments that can be explored from the dictionary, for example, an electronic version of the dictionary, pedagogical dictionaries, glossaries of specific fields of the Apurinã culture and thematic booklets; the appendixes are formed by small texts collected exclusively for this research; and by the questionnaires. Finally, the seconde volume is presented, which consists the proposal of the dictionary for the Apurinã language.

A forma verbal TXA da língua Apurinã: um fenômeno de gramaticalização
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-05-21) BATISTA, Gabriela de Andrade; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9502308340482231; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7460-8620
Semantic domains as polysemy and homonymy do not explain satisfactorily some behaviors related to the verb txa of the Apurinã (Arawak) language, spoken by indigenous communities that live along tributaries of the Rio Purus, southwest of the Amazonas state. Hence, the grammaticalization process is the option which better offers the possibility to analyze and describe the form of this verb manifestation in the language, which ccurs in different contexts, with distinct meanings and syntactic behavior, but the same verb form. Facundes (2000) describes the txa verb as behaving as a full verb, pro-verb, copula verb, and auxiliary verb. The hypothesis is that there is some semantic relation between the different occurrences of the verb, but with morphosyntactic behavior that differ according to the verb meaning/function. Therefore, it is possible to consider that there is a grammaticalization process in progress in the language, wherein some “source” verbal meaning gives origin to a “target” meaning, this last one being more abstract, as a result of a semantic bleaching process. This research consisted of a selected a corpus composed of 32 texts, part of the Apurinã language database, plus some other texts collected with native speakers through field trip, a systematic survey of the different occurrences of this verb, their description and analysis, to visualize the verb’s behavior in the language, intending to verify the direction of the linguistics changing occurred and have a wide view about the grammaticalization phenomenon which occurs in Apurinã, more specifically with the verbal form txa.

Língua e identidade Apurinã: estudos baseados em relatos contemporâneos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-03-11) COSTA, Patrícia do Nascimento da; VIRTANEN, Pirjo Kristiina; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4739692405536395; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9502308340482231
The main objective of this research is to examine the language elements Apurinã (Aruák) showing traces of the culture of its people, such as aspects of their way of life, worldview, knowledge and traditional values and engagement with external values to their experiences life. In this sense, we point out features of the use of language revealing the identity of Apurinã who live near the banks of the Purus River, southeast region of the state of Amazonas, Brazil. The methodological procedures used involve review of the literature on the identity studies and references that relate such studies to the theoretical assumptions of linguistics, as well as analysis of data collected in field research, in April and December 2015 were also found work on Apurinã language, carried out by professor Sidney da Silva Facundes, from the Federal University of Pará, and his students for over twenty years of investigation. This research is done by adding relevant information, questions and answers to studies on the language Apurinã that may reveal, from linguistic data, aspects of the culture and customs. In addition to the academic contribution, this research is also justified in part, together with other elements, as a set of information to corroborate the legitimacy of the people, their culture and their right to exist socially. Furthermore, Apurinã identity traits highlighted here are described primarily in terms of their relationship with the beings of nature.

Para a língua voltar: o papel da política e cultura linguística no processo de fortalecimento da Língua Apurinã (Aruák)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-08-31) BARROS, Jeanne Barros de; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9502308340482231
This research aims to survey the current state of the art of language teaching in Apurinã (Arawak), and to describe and analyze the main aspects of the Apurinã language policy and culture in its strengthening process. For almost 30 years the Apurinã language has been documented and described, a work which made possible some actions for the strengthening of the language in the communities. These initiatives involved the production of pedagogical materials co-authored with speakers of the Apurinã language and linguists. The present work has the Apurinã indigenous teachers as main sources of information. It seeks to update information about language teaching in the school context, since the school and writing in the language are considered by these teachers, as well as but representatives of the Apurinã Indigenous communities, as important tools in the process of language strengthening and maintenance. We also investigate, in the school context, aspects of language policy (uses, linguistic choices) and linguistic culture (ideologies and beliefs) that are determinant to the process of linguistic strengthening as they correlate with conceptions and attitudes towards the processes of language change, teaching or non-teaching of languages. The methodological procedures used include the literature review on studies of Linguistic Policy and Linguistic Culture and its relations with language strengthening. We also consider studies on Linguistic Policies directed at Brazilian Indigenous peoples, the meanings and representations of writing in the processes of Indigenous schooling and analysis of data collected in field trips in the months of March and September of 2017. This work therefore brings together information on initiatives to strengthen the language in a school context, reflections on the linguistic and ideological choices that the Apurinã people make and how they can benefit the initiatives of strengthening and maintenance of the Apurinã language by its people.

Termos de parentesco em Apurinã e em Paumari: contatos linguísticos na região do município de Lábrea-AM
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-11-22) SILVA, Rayssa Rodrigues da; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9502308340482231; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7460-8620
The present work has as objective the examination of the kinship terminology in the Apurinã (Aruák) language, and its comparison with the kinship system and terminology in the Paumari (Aruá) language, in order to verify what both systems and terminologies reveal about linguistic contact in the region of Lábrea-AM. This investigation will also occur through a brief comparison of the study objects with other languages spoken in the same region. Throughout the paper, we will present the lexical items that compose both terminologies; which in Apurinã corresponds to the Iroquois kinship model, while in Paumari it is similar to the Dravidian terminology pattern proposed by Dumont (1983). We will also discuss the correlation of terms to the kinship system of these peoples, and demonstrate the morphological characteristics of this semantic group. To carry out this research, we revisited previous anthropological works (there are no works by linguists) on the Paumari people, such as Bonilla (2007) and Florido (2008); linguistic works, such as Facundes (2000) and Freitas (2017), and anthropological works like Schiel (2004) on the Apurinã people and their language; we also use the theoretical-methodological tools of descriptive linguistics, anthropological linguistics (Durantti 1977; Foley 1997) and anthropology (Lévi-Strauss 1982; Ghasarian 1999). The corpus was collected during field research conducted by the author herself.

Toponímia de origem Tupinambá do município de Bragança/Pa: alguns resultados
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-04-03) ARAÚJO, Marcos Jaime; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9502308340482231; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7460-8620
O principal objetivo desta pesquisa foi produzir conhecimento sobre a toponímia de origem Tupinambá em Bragança/PA, localizada na Microrregião Bragantina e pertencente à Mesorregião do Nordeste Paraense, com base em 146 topônimos coletados nos seis distritos do município, Bragança (sede), Caratateua, Tijoca, Nova Mocajuba, Almoço e Vila do Treme. Isso se justifica não apenas pela falta de pesquisas sobre os topônimos de origem Tupinambá no estado do Pará, especificamente no município de Bragança, mas também como uma importante contribuição para a memória bragantina, além de conhecimentos relevantes para auxiliar o linguista na compreensão da constituição do espaço e da cultura local, e como uma maneira de destacar o papel da fauna e flora locais em nomear os acidentes geográficos na região. Os dados foram coletados (i) no Mapa Político do município, proveniente do Programa de Integração Mineral em Municípios da Amazônia (Primaz), do Ministério de Minas e Energia, (ii) em 120 croquis, cedidos pela Fundação Nacional de Saúde (Funasa) do município, e, posteriormente, (iii) validados por 12 informantes, sendo dois de cada distrito. A fundamentação teórica baseia-se na Lexicologia, com Vilela (1994), Turazza (2005) e Abbade (2011); na Morfologia, com Silva e Koch (2001), Kehdi (2006) e Câmara Jr (1977); na Semântica Lexical, com Ullmann (1961) e Marques (2001); na Toponímia, com Dick (1992), Almeida (2011) e Isquerdo (2008). A análise, descrição e classificação dos dados coletados estão alicerçadas nos dicionários e vocabulários da LGA e da LGP, com Stradelli (2014), Cunha (1978), Sampaio (1987), Seixas (1853), Vocabulário na Língua Brasílica (1938), Dicionário Anônimo da Língua Geral do Brasil (1896) e Dick (1992). O resultado obtido no estudo foi a constatação de que: (1) A Língua Portuguesa (LP) foi usada como instrumento de nomeação da toponímia bragantina de origem Tupinambá, com evidentes empréstimos junto à Língua Geral Amazônica (LGA); (2) Houve uma considerável preferência à nomeação por acidentes geográficos de natureza antropo-culural (humana), evidenciando 73 (50%) e 5 (3,42%) designativos para o acidente Comunidade e Vila (espaço físico habitado), respectivamente, seguidos pelos de natureza física, como Rio e Igarapé, com 30 (20,54%) e 13 (8,90%) ocorrências, respectivamente; (3) A taxeonomia da toponímia Bragantina de origem Tupinambá evidenciou elevada classificação para designativos relacionados à flora, com 56 ocorrência relacionadas à taxe dos fitotopônimos (38,33%), seguida pelos designativos ligados à fauna, com 32 ocorrências relacionadas à classe dos zootopônimos (22,58%); (4) Todos os topônimos apresentam-se, hoje, opacos, sendo referenciados apenas por seu significado atual, o que os tornam fossilizados; (5) As mudanças fonéticas da toponímia indígena bragantina de origem Tupinambá evidenciaram os fenômenos da anteriorização (y>i) em relação à posteriorização (y>u), além da consonantização (i>j e u>b), que auxiliaram na identificação da LP como língua de nomeação; (6) A composição morfológica mais evidente foi a do formante simples em LGA, seguida pela composição composta em LGA/LGA e simples com sufixação de tyba.
