	Descriptive Linguistics and Typology - Department of Linguistics - University of Oregon
		Descriptive Linguistics is concerned with the documentation of all aspects of individual languages, including their sound structure (phonetics and phonology), word structure (morphology), phrase and sentence structure (syntax), semantics, discourse patterns, and pragmatics of use.
		On the one hand, descriptive research on a wide variety of languages is an essential foundation for attempts to explain why general properties of the human linguistic capacity, and linguistic forms, meaning, and use, are the way they are.
		The grammar of Akawaio offers typologists and theoreticians a previously unattested type of split ergativity, a case of reflexive morphology evolving into a middle voice and then apparently lexicalizing into the majority of intransitive verbs, and interesting morphophonological phenomena at the boundaries between verbs and person-marking morphology.

	Language
		Language families can be divided into smaller phylogenetic units, conventionally referred to as branches of the family, because the history of a language family is often represented as a tree diagram.
		Languages that cannot be reliably classified into any family are known as language isolates.
		A language isolated in its own branch within a family, such as Greek within Indo-European, is often also called an isolate, but such cases are usually clarified.

	UNESCO/JLU - Caribbean Indigenous and Maroon Languages, The University of West Indies at Mona
		Caribbean indigenous languages and their cultures were produced over thousands of years.
		The general consensus of research on the issue is that bilingualism or multilingualism in a community language and languages of wider communication (LWCs) does not have a negative effect on competence in LWCs.
		Another assumption is that indigenous languages and the cultures which they transmit have evolved over thousands of years and represent an important aspect of the heritage of mankind.

		Although the Guyanese authorities stressed the importance of appropriate housing for those Akawaio Indians who were to have been resettled under the Upper Mazaruni Hydro-Electric scheme, the planners' idea of what was 'appropriate' took little account of 'cultural appropriateness'.

	Guyana: Empowerment of indigenous peoples through participatory mapping
		Following a series of meetings in the six Amerindian communities in the Upper Mazaruni, the Akawaio and Arekuna people decided that they would need to map their traditional land and demonstrate that all the forests and savannahs in their territory have been used and occupied by them according to their custom for generations.
		The final community map showed the whole Upper Mazaruni basin to be covered in an impressive blanket of indigenous place names, extensive and multiple indigenous land uses, burial grounds and special traditional areas such as bodawa: "hunting and fishing reserves".
		Since 1998, the APA has carried out further projects with its own indigenous cartographers who are trained in digitising base maps, inputting the field data and printing off draft maps for verification by the participating communities.
