This work is a quantitative discourse study of referential devices
in Yagua, a relatively unstudied language of the Amazon basin. Of
particular interest are folktales in which the major participants
are matched pairs, and which involve extensive use of direct
speech. A major finding is that the indices of "Referential
Distance" and "Persistence" quantify distinct functional domains.
