Abstract

ABSTRACT: This paper aims to discuss the formation of subordinate clauses in Asurini of Xingu and shows how they work in relation to the main clause. Nominalization is the widely used resource for forming these clauses. However, there is a subset of adverbial clauses that use subordinating morphemes. Syntax is essential for distinguishing one clause type from another when their structures are morphologically identical. Subordinate clauses have markers of person and agreement that distinguish them morphologically and syntactically from independent clauses. Data were analyzed in accord with the typological-functional approach, based on theoretical assumptions found in authors such as Comrie (1989), Givón (2001), and Dixon (2006).
