Resumen
En este artículo abordamos diversas rutas de gramaticalización en una lengua de la familia mataguaya, el maká. A partir de los datos recolectados en terreno y mediante el método de la reconstrucción histórica, proponemos cuatro instancias de morfemas con funciones gramaticales que provienen ya sea de lexemas nominales, como es el caso de la palabra ´hijo´ que deviene sufijo diminutivo y afectivo o el de la palabra it´ij ´decir´ que conforma una construcción causativa analítica; de morfemas gramaticales que se vuelven más gramaticales, como es el caso del sufijo desiderativo que toma valor aspectual; o de los aplicativos que parecen provenir de construcciones de verbos seriales. Partimos de la premisa de que es posible analizar diversas instancias de gramaticalización aun en lenguas con escaso registro histórico dado que la multifuncionalidad de los morfemas de la lengua se constituye como un indicio sincrónico de los cambios diacrónicos de la lengua.
In this article, we address various routes of grammaticalization in a language of the Mataguayan family, Maká. From the data collected in the field and through the method of historical reconstruction, we propose four instances of morphemes with grammatical functions that come either from nominal lexemes, as is the case of the word 'son' that becomes a diminutive and affective suffix or the one of the word it'ij 'to say' that forms an analytical causative construction; either of grammatical morphemes that become more grammatical, as is the case of the desiderative suffix that takes aspectual value or of the applicatives that seem to come from constructions of serial verbs. We start from the premise that it is possible to analyze various instances of grammaticalization even in languages with scarce historical record since the multifunctionality of the morphemes of the language is constituted as a synchronic indication of the diachronic changes of the language.
