As classes verbais da língua Paresi (Aruák)
(Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, 2017-12) BRANDÃO, Ana Paula Barros
The 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.

Estudos comparativos do léxico da fauna e flora Aruák
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-08) BRANDÃO, Ana Paula Barros; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva
Apurinã, 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?

Macrodinâmicas da comunicação midiática na Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-08) CASTRO, Fábio Fonseca de
The article discusses the characteristics of media communication system in the Amazon, describing how television networks, radio stations, newspapers, and communal and popular communication act, building strategies for the social reproduction of hegemonic models or, alternatively, rehearsing counter-hegemonic processes. The analysis highlights the political economy of communication, substantiated with an approach to the phenomenon of intersubjectivity, whereby we want to understand properly the Amazonian peculiarities in the Brazilian media scene. The theoretical-methodological approach considers the role of systems and systemic action in the context of a culturalist yaw in the political economy of communication. The article identifies eight macrodynamics in the Amazonian mediatic communication: the systemical logic in the dispute for communicative capital; the geoespatial dynamics of the markets; the perception of communicative function as marketing; the local complexity of the phenomenon of ‘electronic colonels’; the prevalence of the ‘advertising function’; the logic of exclusion of community communication; the role of the ‘Amazonian object’ in gauging the communicative capital; and the regional role of religious media.

Observações sobre os correlatos acústicos do acento em Apurinã (Aruák): estudo de um caso
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-04) SANTOS, Benedito de Sales; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva
This article investigates the hypothesis of duration being an acoustic correlate of stress in Apurinã, taking into account the results given by other authors. Cross-linguistic studies have suggested such a correlation. In this study duration is investigated in unstressed syllables, and in ones bearing primary and secondary stress. The article reviews previous work on Apurinã stress and then presents and analyzes new data. These results suggest a correlation between duration and primary stress only, and raise questions about the phonetic nature of such a correlation. The results also raise a theoretical question in phonology, namely the status of syllables with nasal vowels, which seem to behave like heavy or bimoraic syllables.
