Abstract

MENESES HERNANDEZ, Luis David. The demonstrative system of Carapan Purepecha. Cuad. Lingüíst. Col. Méx. [online]. 2014, vol.1, pp.206-234.  Epub Dec 02, 2024. ISSN 2007-736X.

Based on new controlled evidence, this paper argues in favor of a person-oriented system of adnominal and pronominal demonstratives in purepecha, whereby i/arhi points to entities in the domain of the speaker, inte/ante points to entities away from the speaker but close to the hearer. The last term, ima/ama corresponds to entities outside the domain of the speech participants.

Keywords : deixis; demonstratives; Purepecha.
