Abstract:
SUMMARY In this paper the authors systematically compare the phonemes and main morphological features of the Amazonian language Mawe with those of the Tupi-Guaranian languages as a contribution to understanding the disputed position of Mawe in the Tupi linguistic stock - as a member of the Tupi-Guarani family or as another branch of the stock. The phonological comparison is made with the reconstructed phonemes of Proto-Tupi-Guarani and the correspondences found are presented in reference to the reconstructed Proto-Tupi phonemes. Since Mawe has been exposed during the last 300 years to contact

Abstract:
This article aims to describe and examine the antipassive construction in the Tenetehára language (Tupi-Guarani family). For this, it will be shown that the transitive verbs, on receiving the morpheme {puru-}, then exhibit the following properties of antipassive constructions: (i) they come to have an intransitive syntactic structure and (ii) the abstract Case of the internal argument is not valued by v, but by the postposition -ehe. Generally, such configurations behave essentially like intransitive sentences. Using a minimalist approach, we show that the main difference between an antipassiv

Summary Some fundamental typological peculiarities of Guarani, namely the inclusive-exclusive distinction, transnumerality, the nominal tense, the (non)-distinction of subjects and objects, and duality (active-stative alignment) are presented and analyzed from both a modern and a historical perspective: first, to better understand the features of Guarani; second, to illuminate the difficulties missionaries faced when trying to cope with language structures that drastically differed from their training in Latin grammar.

Traditionally nomads, without agriculture or horticultural knowledge, they lived in small groups in the interior of the forest, walking through a network of paths (<em>harakwá</em>) which allowed (and still allows) their own social and cultural reproduction.

Resumo: Algumas línguas da família Tupi-Guarani apresentam uma Hierarquia Referencial que ocorre no nível morfo-sintático, na forma de prefixos verbais que especificam o sujeito ou objeto. É esta Hierarquia Referencial que determina a ocorrência de prefixos verbais de pessoa, nestas línguas. Estudos recentes em universais lingüísticos (Hawkinson & Hyman (1974); Foley (1976); Silventein (1977)) propõem a existência de uma hierarquia natural de tópico. Baseados nestes estudos tentamos encontrar evidencias para o mecanismo da referida hierarquia em outras línguas da família Tupi-Guarani e em

Abstract:
The late-Holocene expansion of the Tupi–Guarani languages from southern Amazonia to SE South America constitutes one of the largest expansions of any linguistic family in the world, spanning ~4000 km between latitudes 0°S and 35°S at about 2.5k cal. yr BP. However, the underlying reasons for this expansion are a matter of debate. Here, we compare continental-scale palaeoecological, palaeoclimate and archaeological datasets, to examine the role of climate change in facilitating the expansion of this forest-farming culture. Because this expansion lies within the path of the South American Low-Le

Tais interpretações foram realizadas a partir de uma análise comparativa de cinco sítios arqueológicos da região sudoeste da Amazônia. O método comparativo continuou sendo utilizado de maneira a possibilitar uma discussão sobre diferentes Estilos e Tradições amazônicas.
