This study presents a morphosyntactic description of the "Matis"
language, pertaining to the Pano family. The study is divided into the  
following sections: a) introduction, in which the author presents a
discussion  
about the importance of research the indigenous languages, how the
project in  
question began, the fundamental theory used and information about the
people  
and the Matis language; b) in this dissertation the author presents the
phonological  
tables based on the work of Spanghero (2000); c) in the third part of
our work,  
the classes of words of Matis are described. The criteria used for
describing the  
classes of words were based on those proposed by Schachter (1985) and
Givón (1984);  
d) in the fourth part, the author focuses on syntax (mainly what is
referred to  
the order of the constituents) and ergativity. [Written in Portuguese]
