Abstract:

This book discusses the phonological history of Mataguayan, a language
family that includes no less than four distinct languages – Maká,
Nivaĉle, Chorote, and Wichí – spoken by ca. 65.000 individuals in the
Southern Chaco region in Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. The book
starts by offering a phonological reconstruction of Proto-Mataguayan,
with separate chapters dedicated to its consonants, vowels, word-level
prosody, and morphophonological alternations. This is followed by an
outline of the phonological evolution of each Mataguayan language all
the way from Proto-Mataguayan to contemporary lects, with a special
attention to the dialectal diversity of Nivaĉle, Chorote, and Wichí.
The study concludes with an etymological dictionary of Mataguayan,
where known cognate sets are accompanied by comments on phonetic
irregularities, semantic shifts, possible cognates in the neighbouring
Guaicuruan family, and references to earlier studies.
