[Lingtyp] Lowland South American languages in the Boletim do Museu Goeldi

[Hein van der Voort]

Dear Colleagues,

In 2019, the _Boletim do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi. Ciências
Humanas_, published two special issues concerning indigenous languages
of Lowland South America. 

The first issue of this year, 14/1, includes the dossier "New
perspectives on kinship terminology in Tupian and Cariban languages".
This dossier, which was edited by Joshua Birchall (Museu Goeldi) and
Fiona Jordan (University of Bristol), contains eight articles and aims
to build a bridge between linguistic and anthropological approaches of
kinship systems in indigenous societies. 

The issue is freely accessible and downloadable in PDF through the
website of the _Boletim_ <http://editora.museu-goeldi.br/humanas/> as
well as from the SciELO platform
<http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_serial&pid=1981-8122&lng=en&nrm=iso>.


This year's final issue, 14/3, contains the dossier "Particles". This
dossier, edited by Marina Magalhães (Universidade de Brasília) and Léia
de Jesus Silva (Federal Universities of Goiás and Santa Catarina),
contains nine articles that address the question of the nature of
particles as a true word class in several Amazonian languages and a
Portuguese-based Creole language. 

The issue is freely accessible and downloadable in PDF via the website
of the _Boletim_ <http://editora.museu-goeldi.br/humanas/> and will also
be available on the SciELO platform by the end of this year. 

Previous special issues of the _Boletim_ concerning indigenous languages
are 10/2, 8/2, 2/2 and 1/1.
