Resumo
This work focuses on Brazilian linguistic diversity and, within it, the Páno
family, from which was pointed out, under the grammatical point of view, the operation of the
case systems. The study consists of an introduction, three chapters, a conclusion, bibliography
and three appendices.
Chapter 1 brings historical information on the linguistic diversity in Brazil at
the time of the Portuguese incursion, the present situation of our languages, the methods for
linguistic classification and its application on the Brazilian indigenous languages, and also
aims at pointing out the importance of the descriptive linguistic studies of our autochthonous
languages. Chapter 2 deals specifically with the Páno family, with the history of how the
region where it is situated in South-West Amazonia was populated, with the various Páno
people situated in Brazil, with classificatory efforts, with studies already carried out by
Brazilian researchers, and also searches for establishing a vision of the genetic relationships
between those different languages. The chapter 3 brings theoretical information on the study
of ergativity, based on Dixon (1994), as well as an analysis of this grammatical phenomenon
carried out by Lyons (1968). Afterwards, still in the chapter 3, the case systems from ten Páno
languages are summarily observed, as well as the split in the case marking system in some of
these languages. The appendices contain: 1) maps of the Amazon region and of the State of
Acre, Brazil; 2) symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet; 3) a updated survey, based
on Rodrigues (1986/1994), (1997) and (2005), of all indigenous languages still spoken in
Brazil (organized into linguistic families and stocks), number of speakers, location and index
of languages.
