“…While cognates of adverbial left particles may be identified mostly in more closely related languages (see, e.g., Popjes and Popjes 1986 for Timbira), post-verbal elements that in our view encode imperfective aspect may be found with the same function and similar form as far as Kaingang and Xokleng (see Urban 1985;Wiesemann 1986), the most genetically distant of the Jê languages. Urban (1985:174) gives the following description for Xokleng: "A series of particles, homophonous with the verbs 'to stand' (ñã), 'to sit' (ñẽ), 'to lie' (nõ), and 'to hang' (čo), indicates continuative aspect.…”

“…The auxiliaries in (43) have suppletive plural forms obligatorily selected when the subject is plural, as illustrated in (44) with ku'ê-the plural form of dja 'stand' in (43). 31 (For number agreement between auxiliaries and subjects in Jê languages, see Urban 1985;Wiesemann 1972;Salanova 2014;a.o. ) (42) is invariable.…”

“…Though these splits are commonly observed for ergative-absolutive languages, no straightforward example of a TAM-based split has been found for marked-S languages. Urban (1985) proposes an analysis of Shokleng (Gê) that suggests marked-nominative coding for stative aspect and ergative-absolutive alignment for dynamic aspect, but his data are rather controversial. In particular, the question whether the elements discussed by him should be considered case-marking at all -or rather as some kind of resumptive pronouns -remains to be answered conclusively.…”

“…Cem anos depois do contato, a língua conta com raríssimos trabalhos linguísticos. Duas dissertações de mestrado, uma de autoria de Terezinha Bublitz, sobre a fonologia da língua, e outra de minha autoria sobre aspectos morfossintáticos da língua, além de dois artigos científicos, um de autoria de Gregor Urban (1985) sobre alinhamento e outro de Pinho (mimeografado) sobre alguns aspectos morfossintáticos em uma abordagem gerativa, com o qual colaborei com dados de minha língua, mas não com a elaboração do trabalho. Trata-se portanto de uma língua para qual estudos gramaticais e lexicográficos são fundamentais.…”
