genderlects

[Francoise Rose]

Dear all, 

 

I am preparing a review on distinctions in male and female speeches in Amazonian languages. Borges (2000) already listed the following languages as showing this type of contrasts: Chiquitano, Cocáma, Island Carib, Karajá, Pirahã, Xavante, Guajiro, Nambikwára, Kamaiurá.

 

I’ve also found mention of distinctions between male and female speeches in the following languages: Kayabí, Mojeño, Awetí, Yawalapiti, Araona, Garifuna, Kadiweu, Siriono, Tembé, Tapirapé.

 

I would be glad to hear about other languages that display such a distinction. I will let you know when the paper is ready!

 

Very best,

 

Françoise
