Abstract

Abstract Kuikuro is one of the varieties of the Upper Xingu Carib Language, of the Southern Xinguan Branch of the Carib family, which is spoken by approximately 600 people, in the region known as the Upper Xingu, at the southern edge of the Brazilian Amazon. This article focuses on counterfactual and non-counterfactual conditional constructions in Kuikuro. After an introduction containing the relevant information on methodology, theoretical background and the main questions that arise from the Kuikuro data, the article is further organized into two sections. The first one offers a brief introduction to the Kuikuro people and a sketch of the Kuikuro morphosyntactic typology and the relevant grammatical facts. The second section describes counterfactual and non-counterfactual conditional constructions. The results of this preliminary study show that Kuikuro speakers have multiple morphosyntactic resources available to realize utterances expressing conceptual and pragmatic domains of possibility, whether these are asserted, assumed, or denied.

Kuikuro(上新古加勒比语)的反事实和非反事实条件结构
Kuikuro是上新古加勒比语的一个变种,属于加勒比语家族的南新关分支,大约有600人使用,位于巴西亚马逊河南部边缘的上新古地区。本文主要研究Kuikuro语中的反事实和非反事实条件结构。在介绍了方法、理论背景和Kuikuro数据产生的主要问题的相关信息后,文章进一步分为两个部分。第一部分简要介绍了库库罗人,概述了库库罗人的形态句法类型学和相关的语法事实。第二部分描述了反事实和非反事实条件结构。本初步研究结果表明,Kuikuro语者具有多种形态句法资源,可用于实现表达概念和语用可能性领域的话语,无论是断言,假设还是否认。
