Abstract:

Drawing on extensive fieldwork in the research community, the book is a
focused exploration of discourse patterns of Alto Perené Arawak, with emphasis
on conversational structures. The book’s methodological scaffold is based on
proposals and insights from multiple research fields, such as comparative
conversation analysis, sociology, interactional linguistics, documentary
linguistics, anthropological linguistics, and prosodic typology. The
interactional patterns of a small Arawak language of Peru are shown to share
the common infrastructure reported in the organization of conversation across
other languages and cultures. Yet the analysis demonstrates a variety of
unique nuances in the organization of interactional behavior of Alto Perené
Arawak participants. The peculiarities observed are attributed to the
language-specific semiotic resources and participants’ orientation to the
local cultural norms. The book’s structured examination of conversational data
of a small indigenous language of South America is anticipated to be of
utility to linguistic research on understudied non-Western languages.
