This is a comprehensive descriptive grammar of Trio, a Cariban
language, spoken in the remote rainforest of Suriname and along the
border in Brazil. Typologically interesting features of Trio
include a basic word order Object-Verb-Subject and a system of
evidentiality that expresses whether or not the speaker was
eye-witness to an event. Trio has several grammatical morphemes
that mirror the group's conceptualization of the world of the
visible and the invisible in which they live; one is a fascimile
marker that expresses that the denotee of a noun is manifestly but
not intrinsically that denotee; the role of the individual in
contributing to a harmonious collective, recognized by
anthropologists as a salient aspect of Amazonian life, is expressed
by two « responsibility clitics. This grammar will be a valuable
source-book for linguists, anthropologists, and everyone interested
in the finer points of Guianan-Amazonian languages.
