Língua Matis (Pano): Aspectos descritivos da morfosintaxe

Rogério Vicente Ferreira
Universidade Estadual de Campinas

This study presents a morphosyntactic description of the "Matis"
language, pertaining to the Pano family. The study is divided into the
following sections: a) introduction, in which the author presents a
discussion about the importance of research the indigenous languages,
how the project in question began, the fundamental theory used and
information about the people and the Matis language; b) in this
dissertation the author presents the phonological tables based on the
work of Spanghero (2000); c) in the third part of our work, the
classes of words of Matis are described. The criteria used for
describing the classes of words were based on those proposed by
Schachter (1985) and Givón (1984); d) in the fourth part, the author
focuses on syntax (mainly what is refered to the order of the
constituents) and ergativity. [Written in Portuguese]
