From kariri at gmail.com Fri Jul 1 18:10:03 2011 From: kariri at gmail.com (Eduardo Ribeiro) Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2011 14:10:03 -0400 Subject: Monograph: Bora loans in Res=?iso-8859-1?Q?=EDgaro_?=(Seifart 2011) Message-ID: Etnolinguistica.Org (http://www.etnolinguistica.org), a peer-maintained information hub on South American languages, publishes since 2009 the electronic journal Cadernos de Etnolingüística (ISSN 1946-7095), which includes, in addition to articles and research notes, a monograph series (Série Monografias). The second issue in the monograph series -- a study of Bora loans in Resígaro (Arawakan), by Frank Seifart -- has just been published (see information below), and it may be of interest to the subscribers of this list. The monograph is freely available for download: http://www.etnolinguistica.org/mono:2 ------- Cadernos de Etnolingüística Série Monografias, 2, June/2011 ISBN 978-0-9846008-1-6 Bora loans in Resígaro: Massive morphological and little lexical borrowing in a moribund Arawakan language by Frank Seifart (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology) This study analyzes the influence of Bora (Boran) on Resígaro (Arawakan), two languages of the Colombian-Peruvian Amazon region, using a newly discovered Resígaro wordlist from the 1930s (Manuel María de Mataró no date), another wordlist from the late 1920s (Rivet & Wavrin 1951), and another from the early 1970s (Allin 1976:382-458). It shows that despite heavy structural and morphological influence (Aikhenvald 2001:182-190) Resígaro has borrowed relatively few lexical items, around 5% in all three sources. It also shows that the borrowing of entire sets of grammatical morphemes, including classifiers, number markers, and bound grammatical roots that is observable in contemporary Resígaro (Seifart 2011) goes back to at least the early 20th century. This suggests that this remarkable case of massive morphological borrowing is not merely an effect of language decay, linked to the current language endangerment situation of Resígaro, with only two surviving speakers. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
