Mapudungun (South America), referential hierarchies, empathy hierarchy, inverse alignment, argument codingAbstract
The article examines the role of referential hierarchies in argument coding in Mapudungun. It focuses on simple declarative clauses expressing non-local scenarios (i.e., the interaction between third persons) and on complex clauses that allow the codification of an argument of the dependent clause in the main one, in particular, complement clauses with verbs of cognition and perception.
Mapudungun manifests an inverse alignment system governed by a version of the empathy hierarchy which includes the recognition of a proximate/obviative distinction in the third persons. The significant participation of this hierarchy is proved both in the speaker’s discursive selection of a direct or inverse construction in simple transitive clauses and in argument raising in completive clauses with verbs of cognition and perception. This research provides new evidence confirming the prevalence of semantic-pragmatic features of the referents on thematic roles in determining the syntactic functions of the arguments in Mapudungun. Likewise, from a typological perspective, it contributes to the studies on the relevant role of referential hierarchies in South American languages.
