The chapters brought together in this contributed volume consider native languages all kinds of languages used in the region, including sign languages, indigenous languages and the romance languages (Portuguese and Spanish) originally introduced by European colonizers which underwent processes of transformation giving rise to new, local grammars. One fourth of the language families of the world are located in South America, but the majority of languages in the region are still understudied and out of the radar of theoretical linguistics mostly because their grammars are not well-known by international researchers. This book aims to fill this gap by bringing together studies rooted in the formal grammar approach first developed by Noam Chomsky, which sees language not only as mere corpora attested in oral and written production, but also as expressions of systems of thought and language production which are essential parts of human cognition. The book is divided in three parts sign languages, romance languages and indigenous languages , and brings together studies of the following South American languages: Brazilian Sign Language (Libras - Lngua Brasileira de Sinais) Argentinian Sign Language (LSA - Lengua de Seas Argentina) Peruvian Sign Language (LSP- Lengua de Seas Peruana) Brazilian Portuguese Chilean and Argentinian Spanish Quechua Paraguayan Guarani Aingae Macro-J languages Formal Approaches to the Languages of South America will be an invaluable resource both for theoretical linguists and cognitive scientists by providing access to top quality research on understudied languages and enabling these languages to be incorporated into comparative studies that can contribute to advance the knowledge of general principles governing all human languages. 001468147 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on June 21, 2023). 001468147 650_0 $$aLanguage and languages$$xGrammars. 001468147 650_0 $$aFormal languages. 001468147 651_0 $$aSouth America$$xLanguages. 001468147 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001468147 7001_ $$aRodrigues, Cilene,$$eeditor. 001468147 7001_ $$aSaab, André́s,$$eeditor. 001468147 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tFORMAL APPROACHES TO LANGUAGES OF SOUTH AMERICA.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PU, 2023$$z3031223438$$w(OCoLC)1349274819 001468147 852__ $$bebk 001468147 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-22344-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001468147 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1468147$$pGLOBAL_SET 001468147 980__ $$aBIB 001468147 980__ $$aEBOOK 001468147 982__ $$aEbook 001468147 983__ $$aOnline 001468147 994__ $$a92$$bISE
