Resumo
El tipo omnipredicativo de lengua se define por el fenómeno de que la mayoría de las
entradas léxicas pueden funcionar por sí mismas como predicados. Este artículo investiga
las características presentadas por cuatro lenguas de la familia tupí-guaraní (tupinambá,
guajá, apyãwa y nheengatú) que, además de la indistinción entre nombres y verbos que
funcionan como predicado, presentan otros rasgos omnipredicativos. La manifestación
diferenciada de estas características en las cuatro lenguas permite evaluar que hay una
tendencia a la pérdida gradual de la omnipredicatividad cuando se comparan las lenguas más
conservadoras con las menos conservadoras y testifica que, sincrónicamente, las lenguas
se encuentran en diferentes fases de cambio desde un patrón más prototípicamente
omnipredicativo hacia patrones menos prototípicamente omnipredicativos.
An omnipredicative language is characterized by the fact that most lexical entries can function on their own as predicates. The article examines the characteristics of four languages belonging to the Tupi-Guarani family (Tupinambá, Guajá, Apyãwa and Nheengatú) which, besides the lack of distinction between nouns and verbs that function as predicates, also feature other omnipredicative traits. The differentiated manifestation of these features in the four languages makes it possible to conclude that there is a tendency toward the gradual loss of omnipredicativity, when comparing more conservative and less conservative languages. It also proves that, synchronically speaking, the languages are situated in different phases of change, from more prototypically omnipredicative patterns to less prototypically omnipredicative patterns.
