3) Construções do tipo QU em Karajá

Abstract

Inglês: This paper intends to describe and analyze the complementizer system in the left periphery of the clause in Karaja, a Macro-Je stock language spoken by about 3,000 people on and around the Bananal Island in Central Brazil. We will analyze interrogative constructions of theWh and yes/no types, topic and focus constructions, as well as constructions with the txibo “whether” conditional operator and with the accusative morpheme–my in order to propose an integrated account for those structures.
