Abstract:

Panare, also known as E'ñapa Woromaipu, is a seriously endangered Cariban
language spoken by about 3,500 people in Central Venezuela. A Typological
Grammar of Panare by Thomas E. Payne and Doris L. Payne, is a full length
linguistic grammar written from a modern functional and typological
perspective. The many remarkable characteristics highlighted in the grammar
include a 'split-inverse' person marking system,
transitivity-sensitive aspect and person-marking verb morphology, object
incorporation, relatively nonconfigurational NP structure, both verb-initial
and object-initial constituent orders, a complex system of clause chaining,
switch reference, and a rich system of evidential and epistemic marking.
