Abstract:

This book offers the first detailed grammatical description of
Paunaka, an Arawakan language spoken (in 2023) by eight people in the
Chiquitania region in the lowlands of Eastern Bolivia.

The grammar builds on material collected during several fieldwork
trips between 2009 and 2020 by the team of the Paunaka Documentation
Project, which was funded by the ELDP from 2011–2013. This material
includes roughly 120 hours of audio and video recordings, which have
been archived at ELAR. In 2022, the dissertation on which this book is
based received the annual Research Award at the Europa-Universität
Flensburg.

The grammar provides a description of the phonology, morphology, and
syntax of Paunaka, including numerous comparative remarks to closely
related languages. It includes over 1500 examples, most of them
accompanied by a brief description of their original linguistic or
extralinguistic context.
