项目摘要

This project focuses on the Yukpa, a Cariban-speaking people who live at the Colombian-Venezuelan border area on both sides of the Sierra de Perijá. Their language, also called Yukpa, shows significant dialectal variations in the various subgroups. Due to their location, isolated from other Cariban-speakers but close to two other language families, the Yukpa and their language are outsiders, linguistically as well as socio-culturally. The immediate neighboring groups of the Yukpa are Chibchan- and Arawakan-speakers, while all other Cariban-speaking groups are located in great geographical distance. There are no systematic studies that deal with the position of (the) Yukpa, neither linguistically nor socio-culturally. This project aims to expand our knowledge about the structure of the Yukpa and their language, mythology and socio-cosmology by processing (transcription, glossing, and translation) and analyzing Yukpa creation myths. Specifically, the project aims to understand, differentiate, and possibly revise the status of the Yukpa and their language by combining anthropological and linguistic analysis in order to transcend beyond their respective perspectives. For this purpose, the linguistic and ethnological analysis will be executed from three different angles: (1) pertaining to the variation between the various Yukpa subgroups, (2) at the level of the Cariban language family and (3) with respect to the other language groups in the immediate vicinity. The results will fill existing research gaps about (the) Yukpa. The project contributes (1) to the ethno-linguistic documentation and analysis of the creation myths of the Yukpa, taking variation between the individual subgroups into account, (2) to the linguistic analysis of Yukpa as part of the Cariban language family as well as in relation to adjacent languages families and (3) to the ethnological analysis of mythology and cosmology of the Yukpa in the context of the Cariban-speakers and the regional environment.

该项目的重点是Yukpa人，这是一个讲加勒比语的民族，居住在Sierra de Perijá两侧的委内瑞拉-委内瑞拉边境地区。他们的语言，也被称为Yukpa，在不同的亚群中显示出显著的方言差异。由于其地理位置，与其他加勒比语使用者隔离，但接近其他两个语系，Yukpa及其语言在语言和社会文化上都是外来者。Yukpa的直接相邻群体是Chibchan和Arawakan的发言者，而所有其他加勒比语群体都位于很大的地理距离。没有系统的研究涉及Yukpa的地位，无论是在语言上还是在社会文化上。该项目旨在通过处理（转录，注释和翻译）和分析Yukpa创造神话来扩展我们对Yukpa结构及其语言，神话和社会宇宙学的知识。具体而言，该项目旨在通过结合人类学和语言学分析来理解，区分并可能修改Yukpa及其语言的地位，以便超越各自的观点。为此，将从三个不同的角度进行语言和民族学分析：（1）与各个尤克帕亚群之间的差异有关，（2）在加勒比语系层面，以及（3）与其他语言群体有关。在邻近地区。这一结果将填补现有的关于尤克帕的研究空白。该项目有助于（1）民族语言文献和对尤克帕创世神话的分析，同时考虑到各个亚群体之间的差异，（2）对Yukpa作为加勒比语系的一部分以及与邻近语系的关系进行的语言分析;（3）对Yukpa在加勒比语背景下的神话和宇宙论进行的民族学分析-演讲者和区域环境。
