  • Evidentiality and Double Tense in Matses

  • David W. Fleck
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 83 / Issue 3 / September 2007
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:

  • The Matses language of the Panoan family, spoken in Amazonian Peru and Brazil, has one of the most intricate evidential systems ever described, requiring speakers to precisely and explicitly code their source of information every time they report a past event. In a typologically unique inflectional configuration that I call DOUBLE TENSE the speakers specify both (i) how long ago an inferred event happened and (ii) how long ago the evidence upon which the inference was made was encountered. This article explores in detail the Matses evidential system, focusing on several novel patterns relevant to the typological study of evidentiality and providing social and historical perspectives.

  • SIL International: An Emic View

  • Kenneth S. Olson
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 85 / Issue 3 / September 2009
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    19 February 2026, pp. 646-658

  • Recent concern among linguists about endangered languages has increased interest in fieldwork to document these languages. This in turn has brought a new generation of linguists into contact with the largest linguistic fieldwork organization in the world, SIL International, and its primary partner organization Wycliffe Bible Translators.

  • Children's Knowledge of Binding and Coreference: Evidence from Spontaneous Speech

  • Paul Bloom, Andrew Barss, Janet Nicol, Laura Conway
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 70 / Issue 1 / March 1994
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    19 February 2026, pp. 53-71

  • In experiments requiring sentence comprehension, young children sometimes appear to accept coreference in sentences such as Thelma touched her. This has motivated the claim that 4- and 5-year-olds lack knowledge of the principles of binding and coreference. Another option, however, is that the requisite principles are present from the very start and children's poor performance is due to performance factors. We test this claim through a longitudinal analysis of the spontaneous speech of three children, analyzing their usage of the pronoun me and the reflexive myself. Even 2- and 3-year-olds virtually always use these forms in accord with the adult grammar—they will say John hit me and not John hit myself (obeying Principle A) and I hit myself and not I hit me (obeying Principle B). We argue that the best explanation for these results is that children understand the principles of binding and coreference at the earliest stages of language development.
