CRUZ FIMBRES, Juan Pablo  and  PEREGRINA LLANES, Manuel. Referential continuity in Chuihuahua Guarijio. Cuad. Lingüíst. Col. Méx. [online]. 2022, vol.9, e236.  Epub Apr 03, 2023. ISSN 2007-736X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/clecm.v9i0.236.

This research addresses the issue of reference continuity in narrative texts in the Guarijío language, which belongs to the Uto-Aztecan language family. The objective is to describe the various referential mechanisms that codify different participants/referents, and the distribution and degree of topicality they may present within discourse. To this end, (i) a particular analysis of the inventory of referential mechanisms in the language is carried out, followed by (ii) a sample analysis of the phenomenon in three narrative texts that detail how speakers manage to carry out referential continuity in this language.

Keywords : discourse; Uto-aztec; Guarijío; reference; topicality.
