This volume is the first book-length presentation of the
grammatical category of Associated Motion. It provides a framework
for understanding a grammatical phenomenon which, though present in
many languages, has gone unrecognized until recently. Previously
known primarily from languages of Australia and South America,
grammatical AM marking has now been identified in languages from
most parts of the world (except Europe) and is becoming an
important topic in linguistic typology. The chapters provide a
thorough introduction to the subject, discussion of the relation
between AM and related grammatical concepts, detailed descriptions
of AM in a wide range of the world's languages, and surveys of AM
in particular language families and areas.

This book is a detailed high-quality descriptive grammar of the
endangered Cavinena language (less than 1200 speakers), spoken in
the Amazonian rainforest of Lowland Bolivia, an area where the
indigenous languages are virtually unknown. Cavinena belongs to the
Tacanan family, comprising five languages, none of which has been
the subject of an adequate descriptive grammar. The grammar is
based mostly on the extensive fieldwork conducted by the author in
traditional Cavinena communities. Cast in the
functional-typological framework, and based on natural discourse
data, the grammar presents a detailed and copiously exemplified
account of most aspects of the language, building up from basic
levels (phonetic and phonological) to higher levels (morphological
and syntactic), and from brief descriptions of each level to a more
comprehensive description of the same level in specific chapters.
The language contains a number of unusual features that will be of
interest to typologist linguists, such as an unusual pitch accent
system, a morpho-phonological rule that deletes case markers, an
intricate predicate structure, a system of verbal suffixes coding
associated motion, a specific causative of involvement marker, a
peculiar prefix e- that attaches to nouns coding body parts and a
complex system of second position clitic pronouns. The grammar will
also be of interest to historical-comparative linguists, as for the
first time one has sufficiently detailed grammatical information to
make possible a reliable comparison with other languages with which
Tacanan languages might be related, in particular the Panoan
family, and to serve as input into hypotheses regarding the
population history of this part of South America.
