Abstract:

This volume focuses on word formation processes in smaller and so far
underrepresented indigenous languages of South America. The data for the
analyses have been mainly collected in the field by the authors. The several
language families described here, among them Arawakan, Takanan, and
Guaycuruan, as well as language isolates, such as Yurakaré and Cholón, reflect
the linguistic diversity of South America. Equally diverse are the topics
addressed, relating to word formation processes like reduplication, nominal
and verbal compounding, clitic compounding, and incorporation. The traditional
notions of the processes are discussed critically with respect to their
implementation in minor indigenous languages. The book is therefore not only
of interest to readers with an Amerindian background but also to typologists
and historical linguists, and it is a supplement to more theory-driven
approaches to language and linguistics.
