Abstract:

This thesis is about the Mochica language, an extinct linguistic isolate that
was spoken until the mid- to late-nineteenth century in the northern coastal
area of Peru. The aim of this study is twofold. The first goal is to
reconstruct and better understand the Mochica language, in order to achieve
the second goal of this research: a comparison of the Mochica language with
other languages, which could potentially allow the establishment of contact or
genealogical relations.

This thesis includes a brief grammatical sketch of the Mochica language, as
well as the reconstruction of some of its grammatical aspects (nominal
possession, numeral classification, and nominalization) and its phonology. The
thesis also offers the results of the grammatical and lexical comparison
carried out between the Mochica language and other surrounding languages, and
with other typologically similar languages.

This thesis will be of interest to linguists who study indigenous languages of
the Americas, Andean Linguistics and Linguistic Typology.
