Syntax


In all Tuparian languages, the main clauses follow the cross-linguistically rare nominative–absolutive pattern. Person prefixes on the verb are absolutive, i.e., they index the sole argument of an intransitive verb (S) and the patient argument ('direct object') of a transitive verb (P). Person pronouns, which follow the verb (either cliticizing to it or not) are nominative: they may encode the sole argument of an intransitive verb (S) or the agent argument of a transitive verb (A), but not the patient of a transitive verb (P). The example below is from Wayoró.[6]:99

 Eamõjãn (en).
 s-V			(S)
 /e-amõc-a-t		(ẽt)/
 2-dance-TH-NFUT	(2.NOM)
 ‘You danced.’
 Etopkwap nã on.
 p-V			A
 /e-top-kʷ-a-p	nã	õt/
 2-see-PL-TH-p	FUT	1.NOM
 ‘I’ll see you every day.’
