Resumo
Nheengatu, also known as Amazonian Lingua Geral, is
a Tupinambá language (Tupi-Guarani branch, subgroup III) heavily
influenced by linguistic contact. This article aims to analyze causative
constructions in the nineteenth century Nheengatu, based on the
narratives recorded by Barbosa Rodrigues (1890). We also present
an investigation of causatives in three historical moments: (a) the
sixteenth-century Tupinambá (Rodrigues 1953); (b) the nineteenthcentury
Nheengatu; and (c) the twenty-first century Nheengatu (Da
Cruz 2011). As a result, it was observed that in the nineteenth
century Nheengatu, there were three causative constructions: one
with the causative prefix, one with a causative suffix, and a peripheral
construction. The two morphological constructions are conservative
forms, also found in Tupinambá. Therefore, the peripheral causative
construction is an innovation, which emerged from the contact between
Nheengatu and Brazilian Portuguese varieties.
