This book delves into the linguistic diversity of South America, drawing on traditional formal grammar methods. It explores native languages, sign languages, indigenous languages, and romance languages introduced by European colonizers, shedding light on their transformations and the development of local grammars. South America is home to one-fourth of the world's language families, yet many remain understudied in theoretical linguistics due to their lesser-known grammars. This book aims to address this gap by presenting studies rooted in Noam Chomsky's formal grammar approach, which recognizes language as expressions of thought and language production integral to human cognition. The book is organized into three parts: sign languages, romance languages, and indigenous languages, and includes studies of various South American languages, such as Brazilian Sign Language, Argentinian Sign Language, Peruvian Sign Language, Brazilian Portuguese, Chilean and Argentinian Spanish, Quechua, Paraguayan Guarani, and Aingae. Formal Approaches to the Languages of South America will be a valuable resource for theoretical linguists and cognitive scientists, offering access to high-quality research on understudied languages and enabling further exploration of the region's linguistic richness.
