The book inserts itself in this contemporary interest by providing a collection of articles on different aspects of the syntax-pragmatics interface in the indigenous languages of The Americas. The first chapter provides a brief introduction of the some of the basic descriptive issues addressed in them, and of some of the theoretical tools that have been developed to analyze them. The reader finds articles that focus mostly on empirical issues, while others are mostly oriented to theoretical issues. Diverse theoretical approaches are addressed, including Minimalism, Optimality-theoretic syntax, and Meaning-Text Theory. The volume includes articles on the following topics: the grammatical means to encode pragmatic notions in Tariana (A. Aikhenvald); the relation between clause structure and information structure in Lushootseed (D. Beck); the split distribution of null subjects in Shipibo (J. Camacho and J. Elías-Ulloa); the syntactic structure of left-peripheral discourse-related functions in Kuikuro (B. Franchetto and M. Santos), an agglutinative and head final language; word order and focus patterns in Yaqui (L. Guerrero and V. Belloro); SVO and topicalization in Yucatec Maya (R. Gutiérrez-Bravo and J. Monforte); the structure of the left-periphery in Karaja (Maia) and the interaction between the wh-words and polarity sensitivity in Southern Quechua (L. Sánchez). 410 0$aTrends in linguistics.$pStudies and monographs ;$v255. 606 $aIndians of South America$xLanguages$xGrammar 606 $aIndians of North America$xLanguages$xGrammar 606 $aIndians of South America$xLanguages 606 $aIndians of North America$xLanguages 606 $aDiscourse analysis 606 $aLanguage and culture 610 $aInformation Structure. 610 $aLanguages of The Americas. 610 $aSyntax. 615 0$aIndians of South America$xLanguages$xGrammar. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xLanguages$xGrammar. 615 0$aIndians of South America$xLanguages. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xLanguages. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis. 615 0$aLanguage and culture. 676 $a498 686 $aEE 2050$2rvk 701 $aCamacho$b Jose?$0432962 701 $aGutie?rrez Bravo$b Rodrigo$f1972-$01022842 701 $aSa?nchez$b Liliana$01483475 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784913503321 996 $aInformation structure in Indigenous languages of the Americas$93701594 997 $aUNINA
