Title: PhD Thesis titled "DOCUMENTAÇÃO LINGUÍSTICA ɄTAPINOPONA-TUYUKA:aspectos fonológicos e morfológicos"

Description: This is a documentation thesis of the Tuyuka language (ET) spoken in the upper Tiquié river (western Amazonia). The work was concentrated in the Tuyuka indigenous school area (Associação da Escola Indígena Ʉtapinopona-Tuyuka - AEITɄ, and is focused in the analyses of phonological and morphological aspects of the language, based in primary data collected in the field. Chapter 2 describes the sociolinguistic situation of the region, talking about their school, the participative research and the vitality of the language. Chapter 3 describes the research methodology, explaining the materials, equipment, methods and procedures used in the analyses. Chapter 4 provides a phonemic inventory of Tuyuka consonants and vowels with the illustrations of minimal pairs and describes consonants allophones contexts, an experiment about the placement of oral vowels, as well as suprasegmental phenomena such as syllable pattern, nasalisation and tone. Chapter 5 to Chapter describe the Tuyuka morphology: words constitution (Chapter 5), some aspects of the nominal word (Chapter 6) and the verbal word (Chapter 7). With the insights of the Usage Based Models of linguistic theory, special attention is given to nominal classification and modality expression within Chapters 6 and 7. Finally, a small typological description of the language is given in Chapter 8, which is followed by an overview of what was accomplished in the thesis and what is still to be done.
