  Athena Review 1,3: South American Languages
Arawakan: The most widely distributed of Amazonian language families, Arawakan includes 74 languages, divided into several subgroups including Aruan, Guahiban, Harakmbet, and Maipuran.
These branches are estimated to have split from their proto-Arawakan parent between 4500 and 2500 years ago.
Maipuran, once centered in the western Amazon region, by about 3000 years ago spread throughout the Caribbean Antilles.

  Arawakan languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The languages called Arawakan or Maipuran were originally recognized as a separate group in the late nineteenth century.
In recent years this core family of undoubtedly related languages has been renamed Maipuran by North American taxonomists, to distinguish it from a larger and hypothetical phylum also called Arawakan.
The Arawakan languages are spoken over a large swath of territory, from the eastern slopes of the central Andes Mountains in Peru and Bolivia, across the Amazon basin of Brazil, southward into Paraguay and northward into to Surinam, Guyana, Venezuela, and Colombia on the northern coast of South America.

The Upper Río Negro Region of Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela, also known as “North West Amazon”, has been the cradle or place of ethnogenesis of the major Maipuran Arawakan languages of South America.
Due to the influence of the descriptions of these languages by the pioneer ethnographers and explorers, there remains a misunderstanding related to the proper name of many of these languages.
In this paper I present a proposal in order to clarify, based on Indian lore and technical descriptions of these languages, the names that should be used to refer to these Arawakan languages.

The ethnic group known as the Garifuna, or Black Caribs, live today in Central America, the Caribbean and various cities in the USA, Canada and England (a total population of about 100,000-150,000) and can be distinguished by their unique cultural patterns: language, religion, crafts, music, dance and lifestyle.
The history of the Garifuna ("cassava eating people") begins on the Island of St. Vincent in the eastern Caribbean, which was originally inhabited by a mixture of Caribe and Arawak tribes (linguistically Maipuran and Arawakan, or Island Carib) from mainland South America prior to the period of Spanish colonization that began in 1492.
Soon after their initial contact with Europeans, the Island Caribs began to absorb individual Europeans (from Spain, France and England) and West Africans (mainly from shipwrecked Spanish slave ships) by means of capture or rescue.

The Warao were skilled canoe voyagers (Wilbert 1977) and are Paez-speakers like the Timuca of Florida (Greenberg 1987).
Granberry (1991) also found Timuca to be close to Warao but containing (Arawakan) Maipuran elements as well.
He postulated that the Timuca migrated to the southeast directly by sea from the region of Puerto Hormiga, about 2000-1500 B.C. It would be valuable to know whether Indians of the southeastern United States other than the Cherokee possess the A*30 allele.

He identified nine language families including Cariban and Maipuran.
Shortly after him another linguist, Von den Steinen, changed the classification 'Maipuran' to 'Arawakan' after realizing that the Lokono spoke a dialect of the Maipuran language tree.
When Daniel Brinton in 1871 realized that the dialect of the Taino was also an offshoot of Arawakan, the matter was settled: those living in Guyana were henceforth "True Arawaks" and those in the Greater Antilles "Island Arawaks".

Hence, the question I shall raise, to parallel Levinson's (2000) distinction between utterance-type semantics and utterance-token semantics, is a matter of comparing sign-types and not sign-tokens.
In order to discuss this issue, I shall:take into account data from a diversity of languages such as Tzeltal (Mayan), Mongolian (Altaic), Purepecha (isolate), French, English and Spanish (Indo-european), Tongan (Polynesian) Mundari (Austro-asiatic) and, in greater detail, my own fieldwork data from Palikur (Maipuran, Arawakan).
I shall advocate that cross-linguistic data leave theories of meaning with no choice but to clarify the nature of semantic inputs and units and that we have to choose between :
