Its speech community lives on the eastern slopes of the Andes Mountains, between the linguistic areas of the Andes and the Amazon. This paper presents various grammatical features of Kamsá, including its phonology, nominal morphology (especially noun class and case marking), verbal morphology (especially person/number marking for core arguments and evidentiality), morphosyntactic alignment, and syntax (including discussion of causatives, comparatives, and subordinate clauses). In doing so, the paper places Kamsá within its typological and geographical context, between the Amazon and the Andes. 2021 artículo científico 0120-338X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=21982881002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/219/21982881002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/219/21982881002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/219/21982881002/21982881002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/219/21982881002/movil 10.15446/fyf.v34n2.88673 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=219 Forma y Función application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Forma y Función (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.34 |
