Abstract:
This book is dedicated to the synchronic morphosyntactic and semantic analysis
of the grammatical tense/aspect/mood (TAM) systems in five modern
Cholan-Tseltalan languages of the Mayan family: Chol, Chontal, Ch’orti’,
Tseltal and Tsotsil. It is argued that the distinction between the grammatical
core and the grammatical periphery is relevant for the analysis of the formal
structure of a verbal grammatical system in these languages. The grammatical
core is represented by a set of grammatical categories: obligatory paradigms
of mutually exclusive grams and their respective markers. Besides the
grammatical core, there is also a heterogeneous grammatical periphery that
consists of different “semi-grammatical” elements that modify the meaning
expressed by the grammatical categories.
The book contains five chapters, and the conclusion. The introductory chapter
comprises general information about Cholan-Tseltalan languages and introduces
the methodology and theoretical background of this study. Chapter 2 discusses
the formal structure of grammatical TAM systems in each individual language of
the subgroup. It is argued that, in spite of the close genetic relation, these
structures differ significantly, due to the different patterns of internal
evolution and to the intense areal contacts with neighboring languages.
Chapter 3 analyzes the morphosyntactic properties of the grammatical
“periphery”. The two next chapters provide a lengthy semantic description of
TAM markers and categories. Chapter 4 is focused on the temporal and aspectual
semantic domains, while Chapter 5 deals with the modal semantic zone,
discussing the categories of mood and reality status.
