Abstract

Abstract:A common cross-linguistic grammatical process involves repetition. This generally operates at the morphological level, as reduplication, and can carry any of a variety of meanings. In Jarawara repetition operates at the syntactic level. After a fully articulated main clause, can be added a truncated version of it (including just the core components). This has purely semantic effect, indicating that the activity referred to is extended in time. The "summarizing clause" in Jarawara looks a little like "bridging constructions" (also known as "head-tail" or "tail-head" linkage), but it is functionally quite different, playing no role in establishing discourse continuity.

贾拉瓦拉语从句总结

摘要:重复是常见的跨语言语法过程。这通常在形态学层面上起作用，如重复，并且可以携带各种各样的含义。在贾拉瓦拉语中，重复在句法层面起作用。在一个完全铰接的主句之后，可以添加它的删节版本(只包括核心组件)。这具有纯粹的语义效果，表明所指的活动在时间上是扩展的。Jarawara语中的“总结性从句”看起来有点像“桥接结构”(也称为“正反”或“正反”连接)，但在功能上却截然不同，没有起到建立语篇连续性的作用。

期刊介绍： Anthropological Linguistics, a quarterly journal founded in 1959, provides a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the editors welcome articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification.
