“…Others would refer to realis/irrealis distinctions similar to those discussed in this paper as instances of 'modality' marking (Roberts, 1990;Mithun, 1995;Timberlake, 2007). Modality ''characterizes the speaker's estimate of the relationship of the actor of the event to its accomplishment, whether he has the obligation, intention or ability to perform it'' (Foley and Van Valin, 1984, p. 214).…”

a r t i c l e i n f oArticle history: Available online xxxx a b s t r a c t This paper describes the system of reality status in Teiwa, a non-Austronesian language spoken on Pantar Island. Teiwa has an overt realis morpheme, while irrealis is left unmarked. The discourse function of the realis suffix (marking foregrounded events in texts) is also investigated and the connections between reality status (intended as an objective property of states of affairs) and the discourse prominence of states of affairs are explored.

“…They contrast with states, which are prototypically extended, less transitory, persistent situations characterised by a homogeneous structure in which successive intervals do not differ (cf. Frawley 1992: 146–8; Timberlake 2007: 284).…”

“…O aspecto, por sua vez, se relaciona com as diferenças de situações que os predicados apresentam (TIMBERLAKE, 2007, p. 284). Seguindo a literatura (MÜLLER, 2013;TIMBERLAKE, 2007), aspecto deve ser entendido como a característica interna do evento ou o ponto de vista das ações. Alguns exemplos são perfectivo, imperfectivo, habitual, iterativo.…”

Nogueira, A. F. de S. Predication in the Wayoro language (Tupi): properties of finiteness. São Paulo, 2019. 190p. PhD. Thesis Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Human Sciences. University of são Paulo. Generally, the properties of the main-declarative-affirmative-active clauses are the finite verbal clause prototype, that is, the prototype from which non-finite clauses will deviate (GIVÓN, 2016, p. 272). As mentioned in the literature, such deviation will occur in the following syntactic environments: subordinate clauses (CRISTOFARO, 2005) and nominalizations, being the latter a clearly predominant phenomenon in the South American languages (GIJN; HAUDE; MUYSKEN, 2011a). This thesis focuses on the properties of finiteness in these three syntactic environments: matrix sentence, (infinitive) subordinate clause, and nominalization. In several languages, there is a morpheme that creates nouns from intransitive and transitive verbs with the meaning of "a place where X happens"or "an instrument for X"(COMRIE; THOMPSON, 2007). In the Wayoro language (Tupari subfamily, Tupian), this morpheme is-p∼-m 'nominalizer'. However, we noticed constructions with a homophonous morpheme that appear as complements of verbs and that show properties of clauses. Are these complements better analyzed as nominalizations or as subordinate clauses? The property of main clauses (morphosyntactic finiteness features)-person marking, valency-changing morphemes, tense and aspect markers, sentential type, modality, and polarity-serve to compare the subordinate clauses and the nominalizations. Based on the morphosyntactic finiteness features, we analyze as nominalization the construction that behaves syntactically as a noun phrase without any finiteness feature. We analyze as a subordinate (infinitive) clause the-p∼-m construction which functions as an object of a verb and allows aspect markers and expression of cliticized pronominal subjects or non-pronominal subjects. In this way, morphosyntactic finiteness features allow us: to distinguish, on the one hand, nominalization from subordinate clauses and, on the other hand, matrices from subordinate clauses, since matrix sentences exhibit agreement and tense marking, which do not occur in infinitive subordinate clauses; to distinguish verbal predicates (matrix sentences and subordinate clauses) from nonverbal predicates, since copula and existential verbs do not occur with person marking and tense/aspect affixes.
