Dissertation Abstract:

This is the first detailed description of Murui (Bue variety), a Witotoan
language spoken by about 2,000 people in the Colombian and Peruvian parts of
the Amazon basin. Following the Basic Linguistic Theory, the reference grammar
presents analyses of the phonology, morphology and syntax of the Murui
language. Collected during several fieldtrips to the Murui communities located
between the Putumayo and Caquetá rivers in Colombia, the linguistic data
consists mainly of an extensive corpus of texts. In addition to the language
description and analysis, the grammar also draws attention to the typological
features of Murui and sheds new light on the linguistic variation among the
Witotoan languages. It is a valuable resource for further research on the
linguistic affiliation of the Witotoan language family in South America.
