- Abstract
We describe three nominal classifier systems present in three Brazilian Indigenous languages -- Mehináku (Aruakan family), Nahukwá-Kalapálo (Karibean family), and e Suruí (spoken by the Paitér éy) (Mondé family, Tupian stock). Except for Mehináku, some aspects of which have been described by Mori (2005, 2007, 2012), the other two systems are described here for the first time, and together highlight particular characteristics of classifiers systems that have not yet been considered in previous descriptive, comparative or typological studies on the Tupian and Karibean families.
