Gender, classification and linked nouns in tikuna

The presence of relatively complex systems of nominal classification, is a feature spread
in the Amazon, but this is not an homogeneous fact, as there are important typological
variations between languages and the families involved. The tikuna regional environment
is an environment of classification. The degree of grammatical encoding differs between
languages and is therefore an important factor for areal and typological look. We propose here
that the tikuna expresses a point within the regional continuum: a) it separates gender from
classifiers b) classifiers are full lexical items with (initial?) only partial grammaticalization.
In other languages of this area noun classes establish agreement at the level of the sentence
and in the noun phrase. What underlies the classification of nominals ”“expressed by these
morphosyntactic classification systems”“ is both a worldview mediated by experiences and
categories of culture, as well as an expression of universal semantic.
