“…The passive voice in Munduruku poses interesting typological challenges (Gomes, 2005(Gomes, , 2014. In short, a transitive verb is made intransitive by the middle voice prefix «je-» and the suffix «-at», which is responsible for turning transitive verbs into causative verbs.…”

The Munduruku people live in the states of Pará and Amazonas, including a handful of residents in Mato Grosso, in Brazil. My research about the language takes place within the Munduruku population of Pará. It is a language of the Tupi stock, that belongs to the Munduruku family. It is of head-marking type. The most common constituent order is s(o)V. The arguments do not receive morphologic marks, usually occurring in noun phrases. The verb receives person marks, which indicate/co-refer subject and direct object. Our objective here is to present the inventory of the postpositions, in order to discuss the properties they share; what their structural and functional features are; and their participation in the passive voice, causative, subordination, modality, source of information, and locative and possessive predication. We also approach the isomorphism among postpositions, nouns and verbs; the syntactic relation that establishes the postpositional phrase with the rest of the sentence: whether argument or adjunct. Finally we will also reflect upon their typology.

Bogotá, Colombia, issn impreso 0120-338x-en línea 2256-5469, pp. 109-150 postpositions in munduruku (tupi): for mal and functional features introductionThe Munduruku people, with about 13 thousand people (Siasi/Sesai, 2013), live in the states of Pará and Amazonas, including a handful of residents in Mato Grosso, Brazil.Unfortunately, with rare exceptions, the population of Amazonas do not speak the language any more (Santos, 2013). My research about the language has taken place with the population of Pará, where the Munduruku are found in the low, mid and high Tapajós river and its tributaries (Gomes, 2006). This is a language of the Tupi stock, belonging to the Munduruku family and sister of Kuruaya (already extinct). It is a language of the head-marking type. The most common constituent order is s(o)V. The arguments do not receive morphologic marks, usually occurring in noun phrases. The verb receives person marks, which indicate/co-refer subject and direct object.Our objective here is to present the inventory of postpositions, in order to discuss the properties they share; what their structural and functional features are; and their participation in the passive voice, causative, subordination, modality, source of information, and locative and possessive predication. We also approach the isomorphism among postpositions, nouns and verbs; the syntactic relation that establishes the postpositional phrase (pp) with the rest of the sentence: whether argument or adjunct. And we will also reflect upon its typology.Besides this introduction, the text is divided into four sections. In section 2, we present the postpositions; in section 3, we discuss the possibility of their nominalization; in section 4, we approach the relational/inalienable nouns used as postpositions or combined with a postposition; and,...

This article presents the main features of Tapiete phonology, a Tupi-Guarani language spoken in Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. It discusses the segmental phonology focusing on phonemes, their phonetic description, the phonotactics, the rules that govern the allophonic variations and the syllable structure. At the supra-segmental level, the article provides a characterization of nasal harmony and stress. RESUMENEste artículo presenta los principales rasgos de la fonología tapiete, lengua tupí-guaraní hablada en Argentina, Bolivia y Paraguay. El artículo aborda la fonología segmental, centrándose en los fonemas, su caracterización fonética, la fonotáctica, las reglas que rigen las variaciones alofónicas y la estructura silábica. A nivel suprasegmental, el artículo brinda una caracterización de la armonía nasal y el acento. Se describen las variaciones morfofonológicas, específicamente, en su relación con la armonía nasal y el acento.
