RESUMO

This dissertation presents a grammatical description of the Tapirapé language (Tupí-Guaraní family), focusing on its morphosyntax. It comprises seven chapters. Chapter 1 discusses a grammatical phenomenon characterized by the fact that nouns and verbs can both play the syntactic functions of argument and predicate, in addition to sharing morphological properties. Chapter 2 offers a description of morphemes which occur with noun and verb phrases, as well as adverbial and postpositional phrases. Chapter 3 presents the morphosyntactic characteristics of both nouns and pronouns. The verb and its properties (such as aspect, modality, valence-changing processes, and the Indicative 2), are discussed in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 deals with adverbial expressions, discussing morphemes that, although belonging to different parts of speech such as postpositions, quantifiers, and adverbs proper, share both distributional and morphological properties. Chapter 6 describes clausal particles, a category of semantically-diverse elements which are essencial to the syntactic and semantic comprehension of the sentence. Chapter 7 analyzes clause structures, including simple and complex sentences, clause types, and the extended active structure of the language
