2 A'ingae (Cofán)

The phonology of A'ingae

“…Aspects of A'ingae morphology receive treatment in Dąbkowski (2021b, 2023c, in prep., t.a. ), Fischer and Hengeveld (2023), and Hengeveld and Fischer (in prep. ).…”

“…Glottalisation can be realised as a glottal stop, creakiness, or entirely deleted in rapid speech (Repetti‐Ludlow et al., 2019). Nonetheless, in roots, the presence of glottalisation is contrastive (53a–b) (Borman, 1962; Fischer & Hengeveld, 2023; Repetti‐Ludlow, 2021), and in morphologically complex forms, the position of glottalisation is contrastive as well (53c–d) (Dąbkowski, 2023c).…”

“…While glottalisation is contrastive at the level of the root, most glottal stop tokens are introduced by -ʔCV suffixes and enclitics. Aspects of A'ingae morphology receive treatment in Dąbkowski (2021bDąbkowski ( , 2023c, Fischer and Hengeveld (2023), and Hengeveld and Fischer (in prep. ).…”

The Forms and Functions of Switch Reference in A’ingae

“…While SOV word order is rigidly required in subordinate clauses, including all switch reference clauses, matrix clauses allow for a great deal of flexibility in word order driven by a poorly understood mix of information-structural and prosodic factors (see D ąbkowski and AnderBois (2020) for more details on matrix and subordinate clause structure in A'ingae generally). One further contrast between matrix and subordinate clauses is that second-position clitics, including the aforementioned person agreement clitics as well as interrogative =ti/=ndi and reportative =te/=nde, are limited to a matrix clause (Fischer and Hengeveld (2023); D ąbkowski and AnderBois (2020)). We see these features illustrated in (4): 4.…”

“…' D ąbkowski and AnderBois (2020) Of particular interest here is the morphology that can be attached to the verb. As discussed in detail by D ąbkowski (2019), verbs can take a range of derivational and inflectional suffixes within a fairly rigid template, in which maximally one morpheme from each column is allowed in the verbal form (see also Fischer and Hengeveld (2023)). The most relevant part of the template, in Figure 1, shows (in order) the range of voice/valence, aspectual, associated motion, number agreement, modal, polarity, and other suffixes.…”
