Abstract:
This book offers a comprehensive description of Kukama-Kukamiria, spoken by
about 1000 elders in the Peruvian Amazon. The empirical basis for the grammar
is fifteen years of fieldwork, including text data from 36 fluent speakers.
Seventeen chapters deal with phonology, morphology, syntax and discourse
phenomena. Salient typological features include a robust morphological
distinction between male and female speech; the expression of TAM categories
via fixed clitics; the encoding of three-place predicates by means of
transitive clauses; six directive constructions that distinguish degrees of
pragmatic force; and multiple types of purpose clauses that differ in terms of
coreference control. This grammar also shows the Tupí-Guarani origin of an
important number of Kukama-Kukamiria grammatical structures and advances
comparative studies in the region.

as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation,
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only).
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department

returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
