The lasts in line: a revision of verbal suffixes in Maká (Mataguayan)

This article presents a revision of a set of morphemes from Maká (Mataguayan family) that were classified as clitics in previous descriptions of the language (Gerzenstein, 1994, p. 117). The first-hand data, collected in the last decade, shed light on various aspects of this set of morphemes that al...

The first-hand data, collected in the last decade, shed light on various aspects of this set of morphemes that allow us to postulate that they are actually affixes (not clitics) with different semantic values. As will be seen throughout the article, these morphemes present some of the prototypical characteristics of clitics (Spencer and Luís, 2012; Haspelmath and Sims, 2010), but they also present characteristics of affixes. Likewise, although all these morphemes have a similar distribution, they have very diverse semantic functions: directional, locative, aspect, among others. In this article we propose an exhaustive classification of these morphemes that takes into account both their form, their function and their meaning. To do this, we collected data using the technique of sentence elicitation and storytelling. We also contrast the data obtained with the second-hand data present in grammars, dictionaries and stories in the language. This allowed us to conclude that the morphemes under study are closer to affixes than to prototypical clitics. In addition, we classify the set of morphemes according to their semantic value as locative, directional, reciprocal and aspectual. En este artículo realizamos una revisión de un conjunto de morfemas del maká (familia mataguaya) que fueron clasificados como clíticos en descripciones anteriores de la lengua (Gerzenstein, 1994, p. 117). Los datos recogidos de primera mano en la última década echan luz sobre diversos aspectos de este conjunto de morfemas que nos permiten postular que son en realidad afijos con distintos valores semánticos. Como se verá a lo largo del artículo, estos morfemas presentan algunas de las características prototípicas de los clíticos (Spencer y Luís, 2012; Haspelmath y Sims, 2010), pero también presentan características propias de los afijos. Asimismo, si bien todos estos morfemas tienen una distribución similar, poseen funciones semánticas muy diversas: dirección, locación, aspecto, entre otros. En este artículo proponemos una clasificación exhaustiva de estos morfemas que toma en consideración tanto su forma como su función y significado. Para ello, recolectamos datos mediante la técnica de elicitación de oraciones y de grabación de relatos. Asimismo, contrastamos los datos obtenidos con los datos de segunda mano presentes en gramáticas, diccionarios y cuentos en la lengua vernácula. Esto nos permitió establecer que los morfemas bajo estudio están más cerca de los afijos que de los clíticos prototípicos. A su vez, clasificamos el conjunto de morfemas según su valor semántico en locativos, direccionales y aspectuales. Universidad Nacional del Nordeste. Facultad de Humandiades.
