Niels Fock & Eva Krener Collection from a Cañari Village, Juncal, Cañar, Ecuador (Database/Archive/Digital Edition)Title: Niels Fock & Eva Krener Collection from a Cañari Village, Juncal, Cañar, Ecuador
Author: Eva Krener
Author: Niels Fock
Abstract: The photographs in this collection are the result of research on adaptation to the physical and political environment of the indigenous Cañarí of Juncal, Ecuador, as well as their concept of the world. Anthropologists Niels Fock and Eva Krener did this research from September 1973 to August 1974, and from August 1977 to January 1978. Their work was made possible with the financial support of the Government Council of Humanist Studies and the University of Copenhagen. A representative sample of the material culture of the indigenous Cañarís, such as traditional costumes and utility items, has been deposited with the Ethnographic Collection of the National Museum of Denmark. In 1954 Niels Fock conducted an anthropological study on the indigenous Waiwai in British Guiana and in 1958 and 1961 on the indigenous Mataco in Argentina.

Cañar Collection of Judy Blankenship (Database/Archive/Digital Edition)Title: Cañar Collection of Judy Blankenship
Author: Judy Blankenship
Abstract: Judy Blankenship is a documentary photographer and writer who has lived and worked in Cañar, Ecuador for varying lengths of time since 1991. With a Cañari colleague she has created Archivo Cultural de los Cañaris, a local archive of photographs, recordings, videos, and documents that relate to the history of the region since the 1960s. For this and for AILLA, she facilitated the collections of ex-Peace Corps volunteers in Cañar (1966-1968), as well as those of two Danish anthropologists, Eva Krener and Niels Fock (1973-77). Her collection at AILLA includes scanned images from her early work (1992-2005) and born-digital from 2005-2022, as well as audio and video recordings. Her physical collection will eventually be a part of the Benson Latin American Collection.The collection provides a record of the Cañari culture and people of Ecuador through video and photographs of public ceremonies and events, daily life and culture, as well as posed portraits of Cañaris. The videos and digital photographs in this collection have been arranged into folders according to the cultural themes they depict. Other folders in this collection are organized according to their original format: audio cassettes, minidisc recordings, and various photographic formats. One folder contains recordings forming an oral history of the agrarian reform movement in Cañar in the 1960s.

Diversifying multilingualism: Languages and lects in Amazonia (Article)Title: Diversifying multilingualism: Languages and lects in Amazonia
Author: Patience Epps
Abstract: This paper argues for an ethnographically grounded approach to the study of linguistic diversity and multilingualism, taking local ideologies as a starting point for understanding how language varieties emerge and are maintained. It encourages a broad view of multilingualism that includes registers, lects, and other ways in which linguistic and social difference may be aligned and negotiated.

Amazonian linguistic diversity and its sociocultural correlates (Book Section)Title: Amazonian linguistic diversity and its sociocultural correlates
Author: Patience Epps
Editor: Pieter Muysken
Editor: Mily Crevels
Abstract: Lowland South America’s striking linguistic diversity presents a major puzzle to scholars of language and human prehistory. This chapter proposes that sociocultural practices provide important clues to a solution, and that linguistic differentiation across Amazonian groups is not so much a factor of isolation, but rather of interaction. Evidence includes the recurrence of regional ‘systems’ across the Amazon basin, characterized by similarly essentializing views linking language and identity, and accompanied by restrained lexical borrowing and code-switching on the one hand, but convergence in grammar and discourse on the other. These phenomena may be grounded in the widespread view that social identity depends on the active maintenance of contrasts, including those relating to language.

Morphological complexity, autonomy, and areality in western Amazonia (Book Section)Title: Morphological complexity, autonomy, and areality in western Amazonia
Author: Patience Epps
Author: Adam J. R. Tallman
Editor: Francesco Gardani
Editor: Peter Arkadiev
Abstract: This chapter investigates the relationship between morphological complexity and language contact and change across western Amazonia. We explore morphological proliferation in particular domains (nominal classification, tense, evidentiality, and valence-adjusting), and follow this with a more systematic exploration of morphological complexity in relation to wordhood status across a sample of eleven Amazonian languages. We argue that a large percentage of bound morphemes in these languages display ambiguity between morphotactic versus syntactic analyses, suggesting that morphological autonomy is best characterized as a matter of degree, and that different degrees of autonomy may apply on a regional scale. Since many accounts of word-internal morphological complexity implicitly rely on notions of autonomy, Amazonian languages invite a revision of our current conception of this domain.

What viewing language as a substance might tell us about Vaupés multilingualism (Conference Paper/Presentation)Title: What viewing language as a substance might tell us about Vaupés multilingualism
Author: Stephen Hugh-Jones
Abstract: Our understanding of Vaupés multilingualism is sometimes clouded by reliance on outdated kinship theory in which pre-existing descent groups ‘own’ reified ‘languages’ that serve as ‘emblems' or ‘badges’ to which people owe ‘loyalty’. An alternative is to view language as a kind of substance that is constitutive of the individuals and groups involved. But what kind of substance? To answer this question requires shifting attention from a diversity of languages to a diversity of -lects, including shamanic spells and flute music. This opens the way to examining the relation between speech, breath, semen and soul, and to viewing language, music and tobacco smoke as devices that give added substance to breath. In the Vaupés context, in its role as a substance constitutive of persons, language is something that is smeared on the body, trapped in the ears and eaten through the mouth.

We cannot marry because we speak the same language: the Amazonian version of Romeo and Juliet (Conference Paper/Presentation)Title: We cannot marry because we speak the same language: the Amazonian version of Romeo and Juliet
Author: Elsa Gómez-Imbert
Abstract: Since the 1970s, the Eastern Tukanoan groups living in Colombia and Brazil have been known for generalized multilingualism resulting from their practice of linguistic exogamy (Sorensen 1967; Jackson 1972, 1974, 1983; Hugh-Jones 1979). These groups are patrilineal, patrilocal and, we could say, ‘patrilingual’. In a nuclear family, husband and wife must belong to different patrilineal groups and, therefore, express their affiliation through the exclusive use of their father’s language, in spite of the fact that children spend their childhood with women and learn their mother’s language first. Several issues concerning the languages involved will be examined. The belief that the father’s language is the expression of an individual’s essence, reflected in the use of the verb ‘speak’ to refer to the father’s language but ‘imitate’ for the other languages, including the mother’s - as do the most traditional groups (Pira-parana river, Colombia). Intensive language contact between groups involved in preferential alliance relationships favors linguistic variation and linguistic acculturation - as in the Barasana and Edúuria case, with ‘languages’ sharing the same grammar, differing mainly by their tonal system (Gomez-Imbert 1999). Or an extreme situation, observed in Brazil, where the father’s identity language is abandoned in favor of the Tukano language. The marriage of lovers sharing patrilinearity and ‘patrilinguality’ is forbidden, incestuous. But the issue is not as dramatic as in Shakespeare’s drama: the couple chooses exile.

The notion of “masaãi” in the narratives of creation Hupd’äh (Conference Paper/Presentation)Title: The notion of “masaãi” in the narratives of creation Hupd’äh
Author: Athias Renato
Abstract: Traditionally, the Hupd'äh people of the Nadahup linguistic family, from the interfluvial region of the Papuri and Tiquié River, from the Uaupés river basin, even though their traditional territories are well demarcated, are closely related to their neighbors, people from the Tukano linguistic family, of the Northwest Amazon with which maintain a secular and a very specific model of exchanges, within a multilingual context that is very characteristic throughout this wide region. This presentation seeks to discourse ethnographic and sociolinguistic elements to broaden the debate on loans and the use of words that exactly reflect this peculiar model of exchanges, a characteristic that identifies them as peoples, at the same time distinct and similar, when seeking to understand more the linguistic and semantic ethnological context of words that are widely used in the Hupd'äh language. This presentation explores the notion of "Masaãi", from two narratives of the creation of two hupd'äh clans, the possibilities of understanding social and linguistic relations in this peculiar ethnographic context.

Exploring innovation in grammatical morphology: A view from the Amazon (Conference Paper/Presentation)Title: Exploring innovation in grammatical morphology: A view from the Amazon
Author: Patience Epps
Abstract: This paper considers the common assumption that grammatical morphology is likely to preserve more signal of language relationship than is basic vocabulary, and evaluates ways in which the dynamics and mechanisms of language change may make crucial reference to spatially and temporally variable aspects of typological structure and sociolinguistic practice. Through the lens of the Naduhup language family, further informed by a comparative look at three other Amazonian families, I present evidence for processes of morphological change that appear cross-linguistically unusual or extreme. These relate particularly to the rapid generation of new grammatical forms, even while basic vocabulary remains relatively conservative. They also are associated with ‘debonding’ processes, flexible behavior of functional elements as between morphology and syntax, and relative promiscuity of grammatical elements’ association with different word classes. Many of these phenomena can be linked to areally relevant structural characteristics, particularly the prevalence of verb serialization and noun incorporation, and an emphasis on nominalization as a subordination strategy. Many can also be shown to be grounded in locally salient sociolinguistic practices, most notably relating to zones of intensive, stable multilingualism, in which language contact has had a heavy hand in shaping rates and processes of change.

Specialized discourse, language contact, and language change: Observations from Amazonia (Conference Paper/Presentation)Title: Specialized discourse, language contact, and language change: Observations from Amazonia
Author: Patience Epps
Abstract: While much work on language variation and change has stressed the view that “all linguistic processes are social processes” (Enfield 2003:7), relatively little attention has been paid to the ways in which specific (i.e. regionally variable) socio-cultural practices may guide processes of language change in particular ways. In this paper, I explore the hypothesis that specialized and ritual discourse forms – particularly song, myth, and shamanic incantation – are relevant loci for the development and propagation of linguistic innovations in the Amazon basin, particularly those associated with language contact. This possibility is suggested by a number of observations regarding these discourse forms: their extensive circulation and close replication across speakers, communities, and languages (see e.g. Beier et al. 2002, Epps & Stenzel 2013), their importance within multilingual regional communicative networks, and the social position of the specialists themselves, who tend to bring together both diffuse social networks and relatively high status. Also of note is the tendency for specialized discourse forms to involve alternative lexical and morphological forms, such that the diversity of lects and registers figures in a broader constellation of multilingual interaction – which goes well beyond the languages ‘proper’ that are associated with geographic and ethnic distinctions (Epps forthcoming). I consider several examples of grammatical and lexical change in languages of the northwest Amazon that have plausible ties to specialist discourse.

Amazonian Languages Collection of Arthur P. Sorensen, Jr. (Database/Archive/Digital Edition)Title: Amazonian Languages Collection of Arthur P. Sorensen, Jr.
Author: Arthur P. Sorensen, Jr. (Collector)
Abstract: These materials were produced during Arthur P. Sorensen, Jr.’s research on Indigenous languages in Colombia. The materials include many open-reel tapes, notebooks, letters, photographic slides and other documents. The linguistic materials chiefly focus on the Tucano language, though other languages of the Vaupés including Cubeo, Desano, Curripaco, and Kotiria are also found among the materials. Materials have been digitized and added to AILLA beginning in 2009. A final batch of papers were digitized and added to the collection as part of this grant.
