Abstract

The objective of this article is to show that there are interesting parallels between biological diversity and language diversity in Amazonia. Up to a certain point, the former has to do with the latter. Once it is rich biologically, it is also rich linguistically, what is not easy to show, unless we use plausible projections. This region is relatively isolated from the rest of the world, being accessible only through the isthmus of Panama. This lead to the development of rare linguistic phenomena, which can be found only here. The consequence of the ongoing language obsolescence and death will be the loss of invaluable language knowledge, at all levels, such as the phonological, the morphological, the syntactic and even the semantic.

Author Biography

Aryon Dall'Igna Rodrigues, Universidade Estadual de Campinas

all'Igna Rodrigues (Curitiba, 4 de julho de 1925 - Brasília, 24 de abril de 2014) foi considerado um dos mais renomados pesquisadores de línguas indígenas no Brasil. Foi o primeiro brasileiro a obter o título de Doutor em Linguística (Universidade de Hamburgo, Alemanha, 1959), além de ser convidado por Darcy Ribeiro para organizar a primeira pós-graduação em Linguística no Brasil, na recém-criada Universidade de Brasília (UnB). Aryon desligou-se da UnB após o Golpe de 1964, em solidariedade aos colegas demitidos e perseguidos pelos militares, passando a atuar na UFRJ e, posteriormente, na UNICAMP.
