Abstract:

El páez o nasa yuwe es una lengua hablada por el pueblo indígena nasa, que
vive en el suroccidente de Colombia y tiene una población de 139.000
personas, de las cuales aproximadamente la mitad hablan todavía su lengua.

El libro contiene una introducción sobre la historia y la actualidad de los
nasa, así como una breve introducción a las investigaciones sobre la lengua
que aún no ha sido clasificada definitivamente. Después un capítulo sobre
la fonología, se describe la oración desde una aproximación basada en la
teoría de la valencia. Siguen la morfo-sintaxis del verbo, del sustantivo y
otras clases de palabras,  un análisis de la subordinación y oración
complejas, así como una descripción de la interrogación y la negación. Al
final se encuentran dos textos con transcripción.

El nasa yuwe o páez es una lengua principalmente aglutinante con formas
sintéticas especialmente en la flexión verbal y  en el sistema pronominal.
El orden de palabras es sujeto, objeto, verbo  y existe un sistema de
declinación (sistema acusativo). El elemento de flexión que indica el
sujeto y el modo se puede sufijar en ciertas condiciones a diferentes
partes de la oración. La lengua marca morfológicamente la modalidad,
haciendo una diferenciación epistémica basada en la evidencia o en el
juicio. Existen una gama de medios morfológicos de cambio de valencia en
los verbos. Una característica destacada es el sistema de formas verbales
mediales (clause chaining).

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go to help keep 
the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 
2008 LINGUIST List Circus and join us on our many shows!

http://linguistlist.org/ fund-drive/2008/

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to 
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

 Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
