[Alexandra Aikhenvald]

Dear friends and colleagues


I am pleased to announce our first event for this year within the Jawun Multidisciplinary seminar series. On 19 February (Wednesday), 4-5.30, Dr Kasia Wojtylak will be presenting a seminar

Hidden Patterns: The Linguistic Landscape of Northwest Amazonia. This will be followed by a discussion panel, with the participation of Dr Hannah Sarvasy, Dr Luca Ciucci, and Professor Rosita henry. Everyone is welcome to take part!



 The flyer is attached.


The abstract is as follows:

Northwest Amazonia is one of the world’s most linguistically diverse regions, where languages from distinct families intertwine through centuries of multilingual interaction. The Caquetá-Putumayo area stands out as a vibrant hub of linguistic convergence, shaped by sustained cultural exchange and social mobility. This talk delves into the languages of this region, exploring how contact and coexistence among diverse communities have influenced their grammatical structures and linguistic identities. Through an analysis of shared patterns and unique innovations, it reveals the powerful role of multilingualism in shaping language evolution. By situating the Caquetá-Putumayo region within the broader context of Northwest Amazonia, this study offers fresh insights into the intricate relationship between language, culture, and society, inviting a deeper appreciation of the dynamics that sustain linguistic diversity in South America.
