Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) As classes verbais da língua Paresi (Aruák)(Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, 2017-12) BRANDÃO, Ana Paula BarrosThe goal of this paper is to describe the verb classes of Paresi, an Arawak language, spoken by approximately 3,000 people in the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil. In Paresi, verbs can be classified into intransitive, transitive and ditransitive. In general, intransitive verbs in Arawak languages are subclassified into: active intransitives, and stative intransitives. The division in the group of intransitives is syntactically marked, as subjects of stative intransitive and object of transitive are marked by the same form, while subjects of transitives take a different marking. The majority of Arawak languages exhibits semantic alignment, that is, the selection of agreement marking depends on the eventivity parameter. In Paresi, the division in the intransitives is morphologically marked as the following: a) some intransitive verbs take the same subject marking as transitive verbs (set A proclitics); b) other intransitive verbs take a different subject marking (set B proclitics). Semantically, verbs are classified into agentive and non-agentive. The semantic features of [agentivity] and [control] have an essential role in the assignment of verbos to subclasses. The data were collected during field research and the analysis is based on a functional-typological approach.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Estudos comparativos do léxico da fauna e flora Aruák(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-08) BRANDÃO, Ana Paula Barros; FACUNDES, Sidney da SilvaApurinã, Piro and Iñapari, members of the Arawak linguistic family, are initially compared on the basis of the data used by Payne (1991) for the Arawak linguistic reconstruction, and of the phonological correspondences presented in Facundes (2000, 2002). Based on the evidence of subgrouping that emerges from this comparison, cognates pertinent to the semantic field of fauna and flora are established. The results are then used to examine three issues: what do lexical retentions say about the internal classification of these languages in the family? What cognates are likely to be reconstructable to an earlier stage in the evolution of these languages? And, finally, what inferences can be made about the past of these peoples on the basis of the reconstructable semantics of fauna and flora?
