  • Pluractionality of Events in Macuxi

    Open AccessGregory Antono, Francisco França Miguel Makusi et al.ARTICLELanguages2023References: 25

    This paper discusses how pluractionality is expressed in Macuxi (Cariban), a South American Indigenous language spoken in Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela. Cross-linguistically, the multiplicity of an action can be expressed by means of specialized pluractional morphemes affixed on verbs, via adverbs, or by reduplication. Previous work on Macuxi claimed that the iterative suffix -pîtî indicates a multiplicity of actions, whereas verbal reduplication …

  • A typology of the mass/count distinction in Brazil and its relevance for mass/count theories

    Open AccessLima, Suzi Lima et al.ARTICLELinguistic Variation2020Cited by: 5References: 37

    While much work has been done on the description of the mass/count distinction in different geographical areas, Brazilian Indigenous languages are still highly underrepresented in the field. This paper presents the results of a project that involved researchers describing the mass/count distinction in 15 Brazilian Indigenous languages, based on a questionnaire we prepared in 2016 in order to explore the distribution of bare nouns, plurals, numera…

  • Count and mass nouns in Patxohã

    Open AccessAnari Bomfim, Anari Braz Bomfim et al.ARTICLELinguistic Variation2020References: 1

    This paper describes the count/mass distinction in Patxohã, a revitalized language spoken in Bahia and Minas Gerais, Brazil. We observe that only count nouns can be directly combined with numerals and that only count nouns can co-occur with plural determiners. Furthermore, only count nouns can be combined with size adjectives. As for quantifiers, we observe that at least one quantifier in the language (nitxi) can be combined with count and mass n…

  • On the acquisition of distributivity in Yudja

    Open AccessLima, Suzi LimaARTICLERevista de Estudos da Linguagem2017Cited by: 1

    This paper explores the acquisition of distributivity in Yudja (Tupi, Brazil) based on a study with children and adults. In this paper, we explore experimentally the hypothesis discussed in previous work (LIMA, 2008) that verbal reduplication is a pluractional marker (LASERSOHN, 2005) that also conveys distributivity. Two preference tasks were performed with 11 adults and 17 children. Adults' results show that the interpretation of ambiguous sent…
