| Sumario: | This study deals with the investigation of morphemes in the Guajá language whose function is to categorize the world into relevant domains for its speakers, building the reference of the name or defining the scope of the event from a prototypical category based on property features determined by the cosmovision of the Awa Guajá. Using the concepts of linguistic categorization and prototype, we analyze these morphemes as constituting a set of suffixes that define entities and events in terms of how far they are from or close to a prototype in terms of dimension/intensity (-hu and -ˈi) or to similarities not expressed descriptively (-rỹ) or even with regard to their authentic features when contrasted with similar referents or events (-te). |
