| description | Towards the end of the nineteenth century, during the boom of the description of indigenous groups in Latin America, Samuel A. Lafone Quevedo (1835-1920) began his work of collection and linguistic description. Concerned about the configuration of a Latin American ethnic map, he established lexical-grammatical patterns in order to detect structural patterns allowing the recognition of genetic links or diffusion processes. During his research at the La Plata Museum, Lafone Quevedo met a speaker of the Günün a iajüch language (also known as Guenaken or Puelche) and elicited with him a wordlist of 116 entries which has remained unpublished until now. In this text we offer access to the source, which expands existing records about this language, and we explain that the philologist’s elicitation was carried out according to a standardized method, supported by the previous bibliography and comparison with other Patagonian languages. |
