Chapter 1 Cilene Rodrigues and Andrés Saab -- Part I: South-American Sign Languages -- Chapter 2 The Morpho-Phonology of Nominal Plurality in Argentinian Sign Language (Lsa) -- Chapter 3 The Grammar of Agreement in Libras -- Chapter 4 Argument Structure in Peruvian Sign Language -- Chapter 5 Blending Libras and Portuguese: Acceptability Variables -- Part II: South-American Romance Languages -- Chapter 6 The Grammaticalization of igual in Argentinean Spanish -- Chapter 7 Approaching the so Called "topic-subjects" in Brazilian Portuguese from Below -- Chapter 8 Is Chilean Spanish a Canonical Pro-Drop Variety? On Subjecthood in Chilean Spanish -- Chapter 9 Ways of number marking: English and Brazilian Portuguese -- Part III: South-American Indigenous Languages -- Chapter 10 Compounding Processes in Three Macro-Jê Linguistic Branches -- Chapter 11 Poro‑/mba'e- antipassive prefixation in Paraguayan Guarani -- Chapter 12 Argument Structure and Morphology in Cochabamba Quechua (with occasional comparison with other Quechua varieties) -- Chapter 13 Definiteness in A'ingae and its implications for pragmatic competition.

This book analyzes the linguistic diversity of South America based on approaches deeply rooted in the tradition of formal grammar. 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 - Língua Brasileira de Sinais) Argentinian Sign Language (LSA - Lengua de Señas Argentina) Peruvian Sign Language (LSP- Lengua de Señas Peruana) Brazilian Portuguese Chilean and Argentinian Spanish Quechua Paraguayan Guarani A'ingae Macro-Jê 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.
