Information structure and the expression of givenness in Buglere (Chibchan)
(Chicago Journals, 2011-04) Quesada Pacheco, Juan Diego
This paper provides an account of the expression of information structure in general, as well as of the information-structure category of givenness in particular, in Buglere, a Chibchan language of Costa Rica and Panama. Previous accounts of the existing mor phosyntactic strategies to encode information-structure categories in Buglere are exam ined on the basis of a typical Buglere narrative, Additionally, the information-structure category of givenness is briefly inspected by means of two production experiments; the idea is to ascertain whether the tendencies found in natural speech remain in controlled, artificial environments. The analysis of the spontaneous narrative tends to confirm pre vious accounts of the information-structure patterns in Buglere, while the results of the experiments only partially confirm previous accounts. The emerging discrepancies are explained as being caused by the environment of the experiments, which speakers might have found slightly unnatural.

Lo que no es en buglere
(Universidad Nacional, Costar Rica, 2000) Quesada, Juan Diego
Este trabajo analiza la distribución del morfema no del buglere, el cual en la visión anterior se describía como marcador de sujetos agentes de una lengua del tipo activo/no activo. Dado que ese no es el caso del buglere, pues en Quesada (2006) se demostró que esta lengua sigue el patrón nominativo-acusativo, queda por demostrar y explicar la(s) función(es) de no. Mediante un análisis cuantitativo de la distribución de este morfema en narraciones publicadas (Margery & Rodríguez 1992), se demuestra que las funciones actuales de no tienen que ver principalmente con la expresión del estatus informacional de los participantes, a pesar de que también desempeña otras funciones (e.g. posesión).
The grammaticalization of specificity (and beyond) in boruca
(Universidad Nacional, Costar Rica, 2000) Quesada, Juan Diego
SPECIFICITY, as many other concepts of human experience, has various linguistic manifestations across languages, varying from lexical expression, e.g. adjectives, as in the English example in (1), to distinctions which make use of categories existing in the grammatical repertoire of a given language, as in Spanish (2), where the distinction between subjunctive and indicative serves to express a distinction of specificity;2 in other cases, a given morpheme takes on the function of expressing that notion; that is the case of Boruca (3), a Chibchan language of Costa Rica,
