Dear all,

Three weeks ago, I sent a query on ergativity in Amazonian languages
and valence changing (Linguist 14.1689). Below I list the
bibliographical references I have received from the readers of both
Linguist List and Etnolinguistica.

written as PhD dissertations (including Luciana Dourado's work on
Panará, Ludoviko Santos' on Suyá, and Marília Ferreira's on
Parkatêjê).
