The Nonverbal Emotion Assessment Tool (Neat)
This research aimed to validate a newly developed tool for the assessment of emotions. The "Nonverbal Emotion Assessment Tool" (NEAT) is based on schematic facial expressions of emotions and serves to capture both quantitative and qualitative dimensions of common emotions. Study 1 ( N = 126) was conducted with primary school children (6-11 years), who matched the emotions represented in vignettes to the emotional facial expressions of the NEAT. A…
Tracing sound change in Nasa Yuwe (western Colombia)
This paper is a contribution to the historical phonology of Nasa Yuwe, a presumable language isolate of southwestern Colombia. It shows how a lexical comparison with two presumably unrelated language groups can help to reconstruct a sound change of *a > e in Nasa Yuwe. The two language groups compared with Nasa Yuwe in this paper are Andaqui, likewise of western Colombia, and the Misumalpan family of Central America. Whereas *a is documented as s…
Pech and the Basic Internal Classification of Chibchan
This paper contributes to the basic internal classification of Chibchan. Currently, the most widely accepted hypothesis is that Proto-Chibchan first split into two branches: the ancestor of Pech and the ancestor of all the other Chibchan languages, which are subsumed under the label of Core Chibchan. This paper presents evidence casting doubt on this structure—namely, nine innovations that Pech shares exclusively with Chibchan languages of the Ar…
Evidence For A Chibcha-Jê Connection
This paper identifies and discusses seventeen grammatical morphemes and a number of basic lexical roots that correspond in Chibchan and Macro-Jê languages. Chibchan languages are spoken across a region stretching from Honduras in the west to Venezuela in the east. Macro-Jê is one of the major phylogenetic units of Lowland South America, where the modern languages are all spoken south of the Amazon. The Chibchan and Macro-Jê forms discussed here r…
The areal typology of western Middle and South America
Against a multidisciplinary background this contribution explores the areal typology of western Middle and South America. Based on a new language sample and a typological questionnaire that is specifically designed to bring some of the poorly documented and extinct languages into the debate, we explore the areal distribution of 77 linguistic traits in 44 languages. While one of the goals of the present article is to provide a general up-to-date v…
Lengua X
In the south-central Andes, several researchers have documented series of numerical terms that some have attributed to a hitherto unknown language: Lengua X. Indeed, they are difficult to link, as a whole, with numerical series from the known languages of the area. This paper discusses the available information on these series and attempts to trace their origin. It is difficult to argue that they are the remnants of a single, vanished language. I…
Pumé (Yaruro) and Chocoan
This paper illustrates and discusses recurrent sound correspondences between Pumé (also known as Yaruro) and Chocoan languages. Pumé is a language of the Apure state of Venezuela and has so far been considered an isolate. Chocoan is a small language family of western Colombia and eastern Panama. Until now, these language groups have never been considered together and compared systematically. It is argued here that the recurrent sound corresponden…
The Grammaticalization of Plant-Part Terms in Chibchan Languages
It has long been known that the plant-part terms for ‘stick’, ‘leaf’, and ‘seed’ were grammaticalized as classifying elements referring to shape in several Chibchan languages. This interpretation, however, is by no means the only one possible. The Proto-Chibchan terms for ‘stick’, ‘leaf’, and ‘seed’ had a much wider application. They became stem formatives, attested above all in body-part terms. The Proto-Chibchan word for ‘stick’ also grammatica…

Lexical Evidence for Pre-Inca Language Contact of Mapudungun (Mapuche) with Quechuan and Aymaran
Mapudungun, often also called Mapuche, is a language isolate spoken in southern Chile and parts of Argentina. It presents structural, phonological and phonotactic similarities to the central Andean Quechuan and Aymaran language families. Many lexical items of Mapudungun have obviously been borrowed from Quechuan and Aymaran during or after the Inca presence in northern Mapuche territory. However, recent language contact may not be the only source…
Lern-/Leistungsmotivation und sozio-kulturelle Herkunft
This study with a total of 306 fourth and tenth grade pupils focuses on the learning and performance goal orientation of children from families with low education and German or Turkish ethnic origin. General achievement motivation and approach performance goals were higher in Turkish pupils. Interactions resulted between ethnic group and gender such that Turkish girls showed especially strong learning goal orientation, whereas German girls and Tu…
