This project investigates the linguistic behavior of children between the ages of 2 and 7 years old who are acquiring karitiana (Tupi) as their first language. This study makes use of experiments to observe the children's linguistic production and comprehension. Three syntactic and semantic phenomena will be investigated: (1) causativization and agentivity; (2) negation; and (3) questions…
The goal of this project is to investigate two types of complex questions (indirect questions and long-distance questions) in Karitiana (Tupi) and Kadiwéu (Guaikuru). Indirect questions are a subtype of question subordinated to a matrix clause (e.g., "I want to know when you went to the beach."), whereas long-distance questions have an interrogative pronoun as a constituent of the embedde…
In a production experiment conducted by Vivanco (2014), several word orders were attested in subject and object relative clauses of Karitiana (Tupi-Arikém). The head (the relativized NP) occupies many positions in these constructions, inclining us to say that each of these word orders has a different status inside this language. Considering the literature on this type of language, this re…
Relative clauses in Karitiana have their head moved to the left periphery of the clause, what can be attested by the presence of a focus morpheme and adverb placement tests, although case-marking in the relativized phrase (the head) indicates that they are circumnominal constructions, i.e., internally-headed (STORTO, 1999, 2003, to appear). These are opposed features according to De Vrie'…
The goal of this project is to analyze object relative clauses in Karitiana, a Tupian language of the Arikém family. Relative clauses in this language are internally-headed and object relatives specifically show an inverse voice morpheme, which also marks some wh- constructions in the language. Additionally, object relative clauses have two possible word orders: SOV and OSV. This project …
