IBANEZ BRAVO, María Elena. On the phonological status of the Paʔipá:y segments [i̯] and [u̯]. Cuad. Lingüíst. Col. Méx. [online]. 2017, vol.4, n.1, pp.181-209. ISSN 2007-736X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/clecm.v4i1.55.

In this article, I analyze the phonological status of the segments [i̯] and [u̯] as consonants /j/ and /w/ in the paʔipá:y language. I discard the idea that these segments are diphthongs or part of a consonant of secondary tonality, a perspective that has been traditionally assumed in the description of this language.
