Number morphology in Panará

| University of California, Berkeley
In this paper I present a description of number in Panará, with singular, dual and plural, and discuss the mass-count properties of Panará nouns. I also describe an until now unattested instance of omnivorous dual in Panará, where one dual morpheme can map to one or more arguments.
Keywords: number, countability, numerals, omnivorous number, Jê languages
