Abstract

The main goal of this article is to present a morphological and semantic analysis of the oblique markers and postpositions in Akuntsú (Tupían language), by providing the semantic varieties of these elements and their morphological classifications. In this regard, the typological features of this language are briefly described, focusing on the analyses of the nominal morphology. Thus, it is presented that the nominal grammatical information, in Akuntsú, is signaled by postpositions and oblique markers, which can be nouns, pronouns, demonstratives and, in some cases, adverbs and verbs.
