mar. 22/01/2019 atelier Histoire et Ecologie des Langues: Thiago Chacon (University of Brazilia/Collegium de Lyon): "Chapters in the prehistory of Tukanoan languages"
14h00-15h30
ISH, salle Ennat Léger

In this talk I will explore key points in the pre-history of Tukanoan languages within the context of Northwest Amazonia, one of the linguistically most diverse regions of the world where Tukanoan and Arawakan languages play a central role. I will address each of these points as assemblages of problems that scholars usually face when dealing with interdisciplinary issues related to linguistic, cultural and population history. After a general background on Northwest Amazonia linguistic ecology and the state of the art of Tukanoan family comparative studies, I will discuss the following chapters in Tukanoan pre-history:

  • 1- Urheimat, age and initial diversification
  • 2- Linguistic statigraphy and long-term history of language contact
  • 3- Cultural history seen from the reconstruction and changes in the lexicon
  • 4- The emergence of linguistic exogamy and the Vaupes linguistic area
  • 5- Colonial and post-colonial effects on Tukanoan linguistic ecology
