genderlects

[José Álvarez]

Dear Françoise,


You quote and give the reference to Borges 2000. I have not been able to get a copy of this item. I'm interested in it because you mention that he says Guajiro shows distinctions between male and female speeches. I'm curious about this. Up to now, I had thought that Guajiro exhibits straightforward gender. So, I'm dying to see his data and analyses. If you have a pdf copy, will you please send it to me? 

Big hug,

José "Pipo" Álvarez

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
