At the same time, the cognitive and communicative underpinning of grammatical universals are further elucidated and underscored, and the interplay between grammar, cognition and neurology is outlined. To redress the balance, explicit treatment is given to the core formal properties of syntactic constructions, such as constituency and hierarchy (phrase structure), grammatical relations and relational control, clause union, finiteness and governed constructions. With hindsight the author now finds the de-emphasis of the formal properties a somewhat regrettable choice, since it creates the false impression that one could somehow be a functionalist without being at the same time a structuralist. ![]() In the previous edition (1984) the author deliberately chose to de-emphasize the more formal aspects of syntactic structure, in favor of a more comprehensive treatment of the semantic and pragmatic correlates of syntactic structure. This new edition of Syntax: A functional-typological introduction is at many points radically revised. Se estableció que los miembros de esta etnia poseen la habilidad de comunicarse sin dificultad con personas de otras etnias, entre ellas: sirianos, desanos y cubeos, y se observó al recorrer las comunidades tucanas ubicadas en Brasil que los tucanos colombianos podían entender también el portugués. Al analizar los resultados se evidenció que la etnia tucana continúa respetando la regla primigenia de la exogamia, ya que no fueron reportados casos de familias establecidas bajo relaciones endogámicas, y es la exogamia la que aún mantiene vivo el multilingüismo en medio de los tucanos. Esta investigación se enmarcó dentro de los límites de la sociolingüística y la antropología, con un enfoque cualitativo y un método etnográfico, en donde el trabajo in situ fue fundamental, y la observación, el diálogo y la entrevista fueron las herramientas puntuales. El objetivo de la investigación fue describir y analizar el estado actual de este rasgo, a fin de establecer los aspectos lingüísticos y antropológicos que intervienen en este fenómeno. The overt evidential marking is used to distinguish the present and distant past tense.Įl multilingüismo es un fenómeno sobresaliente en la etnia tucana. Verbs require tense, aspect, modality, and evidential marking in the form of suffix attachment. ![]() It has plentiful nominal categories and noun-related suffixes, with simple morphological processes. Nasal spreading is very commonly seen, but the oral inherent morphemes block this phonological process. Stress is also shown to interact with tone patterns. They can be lexical tones, but some of them are not and change accordingly with the morphological processes. Siriano is a language of a two-tone system, carrying high and low tones. ![]() ![]() The glottal stop and fricative are phonetically realized in a careful speech to modify the syllable structure. It has a relatively small size of phonemic inventory, and most of the phonemes, both vowels, and consonants have their nasalized counterparts. Siriano is a typical Eastern Tukanoan language in terms of its typological characteristics. There is little extant documentation of Siriano therefore, the description is primarily based on the data gathered by the thesis chair Dr. This thesis presents a linguistic description of the phonology and morphology of Siriano, an endangered Amazonian language traditionally spoken in the Vaupés River region of northwest Amazon, in Brazil and Colombia. ![]()
