This paper aims to present an analysis of the DP structure in Kaingang. The theme is relevant due to the absence of generative literature that brings a proposal of this structure for that language. The methodology adopted is theoretical-descriptive and data were collected from examples present in the published non-generative research on the language (in particular: Wiesemann, 2011; Gonçalves, 2007; Domingues, 2013; Navarro, 2012). The description of the data shows similarities with the Gungbe language structure (an African language of the Gbe family, Kwa subgroup), as proposed by Aboh (1998). For this reason, we extended Aboh’s proposal to Kaingang data and we finish the paper with new questions.Downloads
