“…) There are a number of guidelines for writing grammars, e.g. Comrie and Smith (1977), and Comrie, Croft, Lehmann, and Zaefferer (1993). The grammatical profile varies from language to language, and from region to region, which makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to prepare one single guideline for writing a grammar of all the languages of the world.…”

“…Such structural concepts are what "descriptive" or "reference" grammars are usually based on, however variable their formats. For typical concrete descriptions of particular languages which uniformly follow one format, specified through the questionnaire of Comrie & Smith (1977), see the (ex-)Lingua Descriptive Series. For typological constraints as typically cast in concrete terms see The Universals Archive (at http://typo.uni-konstanz.de/archive).…”

This paper attempts to convey an analysis of codifying mechanisms of case in Terena language of Aruak family. Palmer (1994) and Blake (1994)'s functional-typological framework and mainly Dixon (1979 e 1994)'s work supported the analysis drown by. When codified by mechanisms of cross reference, morphological markers of case and word order, S, A and O grammatical functions in Terena point to different alignments -nominative/accusative, ergative/absolutive. All of them are the result of floating and split marking of case oriented to nominative/absolutive. As we consider the conditioning of intransitive split that another split is consolidated. That's our conclusion: the main conditioning to split intransitive construction in Terena language is related to the NPs semantic nature. Keywords: Indigenous languages; Case system; Terena language; Arawak language family. resumo: O presente artigo propõe uma análise dos mecanismos de codificação de caso em terena, uma língua classificada como pertencente à família aruák. A análise será norteada pela abordagem funcional-tipológica baseada nos trabalhos de Palmer (1994), Blake (1994); e, principalmente, nos trabalhos de Dixon (1979Dixon ( e 1994. Em Terena, as funções gramaticais S, A e O, quando codificadas pelos mecanismos de referência cruzada, marcação morfológica de caso e ordem de constituintes apontam para distintos alinhamentos, ora nominativo/acusativo, ora ergativo/absolutivo, resultantes de uma marcação fluída e cindida de caso orientado para o nominativo/absolutivo. A análise de tal cisão é aqui consolidada à medida que se pondera a respeito dos fatores condicionadores de cisão intransitiva, o que aponta para o seguinte: é o condicionamento dado pela natureza semântica dos SNs o principal fator condicionador da intransitividade cindida na língua terena. Palavras-chave: Línguas indígenas; Sistema de caso; Terena; Aruák.
