Scientific framework and objectives
This research thread deals with the documentation and description of the endangered languages of Takana family in Amazonian Bolivia, in particular Cavineña, Reyesano (Maropa) and Tacana. This involves collecting data in the field on these languages and analyzing them with the aim, on the one hand, of accounting for the nature and organization of all levels of structure and their functional correlates and on the other hand to explore in these languages particular morphosyntactic phenomena whose study contributes to the development of general linguistics (typology and historical and areal linguistics).
