On finite embedded clauses in Tuparí: Their synchrony, diachrony, and typology
Tuparí, an indigenous Brazilian language of the Tupían family, has innovated a highlyproductive finite embedded clause construction that retains the morphosyntactic hallmarks of matrix clauses – without any neutralization in tense or evidentiality. I offer a synchronic analysis of these finite embedded clauses and propose a specific grammaticalization pathway that can account for their diachronic emergence: the clausal nominalizer hè developed ou…
Termos de parentesco nas línguas Tuparí (família Tupí)
Este artigo analisa os termos de parentesco nas cinco línguas do ramo Tuparí, da família linguística Tupí, em duas abordagens distintas. Inicialmente, o artigo apresenta uma comparação das terminologias de parentesco das línguas Tuparí e reconstrói correlatos no Proto-Tuparí para as principais categorias de parentes consanguíneos e afins. As cinco línguas Tuparí apresentam termos claramente cognatos e reconstruíveis para a protolíngua para as div…
Non-Witnessed Evidentiality in Tuparí and its Connection to Resultative Constructions in the Perfect Aspect
Tupían languages typically mark evidentiality through freestanding particles located in a predicate- or clause-peripheral position. In Tuparí, however, non-witnessed evidentiality is realized by a bound verbal suffix (-pnẽ/psira). This article draws upon original fieldwork to offer a detailed description and analysis of -pnẽ/psira. I argue that using -pnẽ/psira presupposes commitment to the proposition p on the part of the speaker. This analysis …
Negation as an exclusively nominal category: Supplemental Material
Negation as an exclusively nominal category
Negation in Tuparí (Tupían; Brazil) is an exclusively nominal category: verbs must enter into a nominalized form to accept the negator - 'om and must undergo a subsequent process of reverbalization so as to combine with tense and evidential morphology. These category-changing processes leave - 'om in a low position in the clause, and scopal evidence confirms that negation is also interpreted low. In keeping with the low structural position of - '…
Nasal Harmony and Phonotactic Well-Formedness in Tupari
This paper describes, analyzes, and typologically contextualizes the nasal harmony system of Tupari, an understudied Tupian language of Brazil. In this language, voiceless stops obligatorily nasalize when in coda position following a nasal vowel. This process superficially defies typological claims made by Walker (2000; 2003), Piggott (2003), and others about the behavior of voiceless stops in nasal harmony systems. However, I argue that coda nas…
