“…In this regard, the emergence of Guaraché may have more in common with that of certain creoles (Baker 1990;Jourdan 1991;Chaudenson 2001;Hopper and Traugott 2003;Heine and Kuteva 2003;Bruyn 2008). In the early years on the reservations, as gradually more and more Aché settled and oriented toward the linguistic habits of Paraguayans and already settled Aché (Hauck 2018), language mixing became the "target" of language shift. It seems reasonable to assume that in those initial phases, Guaraní ja-/ñafor 1PL.IN was incorporated fairly quickly into everyday discourse as part of different constructions, especially hortative ones.…”

“…From the settlement of the first group in 1959 until the last 24 individuals appeared in 1978, at least fourteen groups of different sizes surrendered one by one to those already settled. Cultural orientations compelled captured Aché to learn the cultural and linguistic habits of their captors (Hauck 2018;Thompson 2019). As the captors were second-language learners themselves, their competence in Guaraní was still limited.…”

This paper discusses the emergence of a hortative marker in Guaraché, a new mixed language in Paraguay, the result of language mixing of the Indigenous Aché language and Paraguayan Guaraní. After settlement on reservations, the formerly nomadic Aché hunter-gatherers began shifting to the national language Guaraní, resulting in Guaraché, which is currently learned by children as their first language. Guaraché speakers have incorporated parts of the lexicon and morphology from Aché and Guaraní into their verbal repertoires, including parts of the Guaraní inflectional morphology. Thereby, they are modeling their use of the Guaraní 1pl.in marker ja-/ña- on a specific function that it has in Guaraní, hortative mood. Neither Aché nor Guaraní have grammatical hortative markers. Such a reanalysis and transfer of only one function of ja-/ña- suggests that a novel grammatical distinction is emerging between ja-/ña- for the hortative and the free pronoun ñande/nande for all other cases of 1pl.in. This paper analyzes hortative constructions in a corpus of recordings of naturally occurring interactions from children and adults. This case of grammaticalization is a strong indicator of a gradual transformation of Guaraché from language-mixing practices into a new mixed language.

“…Bernard Perley (2012, 146) aptly criticizes what he calls “zombie languages,” i.e., Indigenous languages that only exist in an undead state in the form of recordings and documentary artefacts but disembodied and disconnected from their community of speakers. Taking ontological differences seriously means to recognize that activities such as writing or recording a language (High 2018) or saving it in digital format (Heurich 2018b) may have far reaching consequences for its linguistic nature (Hauck 2018). As Perley (2011, 145) emphasizes, language death itself implies ontological change 7 .…”

“…The language ideological perception of distinct language practices are, in part, dependent on the social identify of the person using the language, and the significance or meaning of an ideology can differ substantially for different subgroups or subject positioning (Henderson, 2017). Language shift is a cause of concern in the communities (Hauck, 2018). The aim of automatic language recognition is to identify the language being spoken from a group of possible languages (Irtza, Sethu, Ambikairajah, & Li, 2018).…”
