“…La revisión de la literatura reveló que los enfoques pedagógicos tradicionales en la enseñanza del Aymara han enfrentado desafíos, como la falta de interés de los estudiantes y la dificultad para retener el idioma (FERNÁNDEZ, 2022;GOMES, 2022;VERA, 2018). Por otro lado, se identificaron estudios que respaldan la eficacia de los enfoques comunicativos y culturales en la enseñanza de idiomas indígenas.…”

On Derived Change of State Verbs in Southern Aymara

There are two main approaches to change of state verbs. One adopts an approach in terms of a total change (becomeP, for base predicate P), i.e., a change from not being in the extension of the base predicate to being in it. The other adopts an approach in terms of a relative change (becomemore P, for base predicate P), i.e., a change for a theme in which it increases in the extent to which it holds the property denoted by the base predicate. Different languages have been analyzed using one or the other approach. I argue that both proposals are actually appropriate for analyzing related but not (completely) overlapping phenomena in the domain of derived change of state verbs in the very same language. This proposal is based on the discussion of change of state verbs in Southern Aymara that are derived with the suffixes -pta and -ra. I show that verbs with -pta convey the meaning of total change and that verbs with -ra convey the meaning of relative change. I further discuss how expressions with -pta and -ra interact: expressions with -ra implicate that the theme does not change from not being in the extension of the base to being in it. I propose an account in terms of scalar implicatures in which -pta and -ra are lexical alternatives, thus extending the domain of linguistic phenomena for which the computation of scalar implicatures is relevant.

“…I have tested these possibilities explicitly with the speakers by providing contexts in which the lexical maximal degree is not the one reached (e.g., in the case of sentences with llusk'a-cha-ña 'straighten' in which the theme ends up somewhat curly, i.e., not fully straight). While this is the default case, in recent work, Martínez Vera (2018b) analyzes the interaction of -su with focus marking. In such cases, the lexical maximal degree may not be reached in cases where the relevant scale includes such degree.…”

Degree achievements and degree morphemes in competition in Southern Aymara

In this paper, I give an account of degree achievements in Southern Aymara, an understudied Andean language. I focus on degree achievements that are derived from gradable bases by means of the verbal suffix -cha, e.g., llusk'a-cha-ña 'to straighten' or q'añu-cha-ña 'to dirty'. I provide arguments suggesting that Aymara should be analyzed as a degree language (Bochnak 2015b). I further propose an analysis of Aymara degree achievements in terms of a differential measure function (Kennedy & Levin 2008). The main point argued for in this paper is that this language has two degree morphemes in competition (Heim 1991) combining with degree achievements, namely, a covert verbal positive morpheme v.pos and the overt morpheme -su. The latter restricts the standard of comparison to change where maximal values are reached, so it is preferred over v.pos when such values are targeted. v.pos is thus felicitous when the maximum is not reached. I propose an initial typology that distinguishes how telicity is achieved cross-linguistically when degree achievements are considered.
