description This paper presents the initial results of a preliminary investigation of a lesser-known language contact situation in the Upper Rio Negro: the variety of Nheengatu (Tupi-Guarani branch, Tupi family) spoken as a second language by Dâw elders (Dâw, Nadahup [formerly Maku] family)  who live in the village of Waruá (Upper Rio Negro Indigenous Area) opposite the town of São Gabriel da Cachoeira (Amazonas State, Brazil). This variety of Nheengatu is severely threatened, as it is no longer transmitted to the younger generations, who speak Dâw and Portuguese. The objective of this study is to create an audiovisual archive to register the use of Nheengatu amongst the Dâw elders as a historical document for the community and in order to investigate the linguistic details of this variety in the context of a broader study of linguistic variation within Nheengatu. The data analysed in this investigation have been taken from personal narratives recorded with six informants from Waruá village between July 2017 and July 2018. The phenomena found so far involve phonetics and phonology, e.g., vowel apocope that aligns Nheengatu syllables with the CVC patterns of Dâw, and some morpho-syntactic particularities, e.g., levelling in number and person paradigms and frequent use of differential object marking. In general, this features seem to be the influence of Dâw on the speakers’ Nheengatu. Additionally, we hope that the fact that Nheengatu is a second language for the Dâw elders may provide insights into the types of influence that may have occurred in the region’s historical lingua franca, the Lingua Geral Amazônica.

Alto Rio Negro). A variedade está gravemente ameaçada, pois não está sendo transmitida; as gerações mais novas falam apenas Dâw e português. Nosso objetivo é de criar um acervo de material audiovisual para registrar o uso do Nheengatu entre os Dâw como documento histórico para a comunidade e para estudar as particularidades linguísticas dessa variedade no contexto de uma investigação maior da variação linguística no Nheengatu. Os dados analisados em nossa investigação foram extraídos de narrativas pessoais gravadas com seis informantes da comunidade Waruá em julho de 2017 e em julho de 2018. Os fenômenos detectados entre o Nheengatu Dâw até o momento abrangem à fonética e fonologia, p. ex., apócope vocálica, para alinhá-la à estrutura silábica CVC do Dâw, e à morfossintaxe, p. ex., nivelamento de paradigmas número-pessoais e introdução de marcação diferencial de objeto. Em geral, parecem ser influências da língua Dâw sobre o Nheengatu do falante. Além disso, o estatuto de segunda língua entre os Dâw da língua Nheengatu pode ser instrutivo a respeito dos tipos de influência sobre uma língua franca, como a Língua Geral Amazônica, quando não é a primeira língua de uma comunidade.Abralin2020-12-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/xmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.abralin.org/index.php/cadernos/article/view/23610.25189/2675-4916.2020.v1.n3.id236Cadernos de Linguística; Vol. 1 No. 3 (2020); 01-21Cadernos de Linguística; Vol. 1 Núm. 3 (2020); 01-21Cadernos de Linguística; v. 1 n. 3 (2020); 01-212675-4916reponame:Cadernos de Linguísticainstname:Associação Brasileira de Linguística (ABRALIN)instacron:ABRALINporhttps://cadernos.abralin.org/index.php/cadernos/article/view/236/241https://cadernos.abralin.org/index.php/cadernos/article/view/236/247Copyright (c) 2020 Thomas Finbowinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFinbow, Thomas2023-08-19T08:46:25Zoai:ojs3.cadernos.abralin.org:article/236Revistahttps://cadernos.abralin.org/ONGhttps://cadernos.abralin.org/index.php/cadernos/oaiabralin@abralin.org || cadlin@abralin.org13083-8592675-4916opendoar:2023-08-19T08:46:25Cadernos de Linguística - Associação Brasileira de Linguística (ABRALIN)false
