Its speech community lives on the eastern slopes of the Andes Mountains, between the linguistic areas of the Andes and the Amazon. This paper presents various grammatical features of Kamsá, including its phonology, nominal morphology (especially noun class and case marking), verbal morphology (especially person/number marking for core arguments and evidentiality), morphosyntactic alignment, and syntax (including discussion of causatives, comparatives, and subordinate clauses). In doing so, the paper places Kamsá within its typological and geographical context, between the Amazon and the Andes.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen El kamsá es una lengua aislada que se habla en el Valle de Sibundoy, en el departamento del Putumayo, al sur de Colombia. Su comunidad de habla vive en la vertiente oriental de la cordillera de los Andes, entre las áreas lingüísticas de los Andes y la Amazonia. Este artículo presenta varias características gramaticales del kamsá, incluyendo su fonología, morfología nominal (especialmente la clase nominal y la marcación de caso), morfología verbal (especialmente la marcación de persona/número para los argumentos centrales y la evidencialidad), alineación morfosintáctica y sintaxis (incluyendo la discusión de causales, comparativos y cláusulas subordinadas). De este modo, el artículo sitúa al kamsá en su contexto tipológico y geográfico, entre la Amazonia y los Andes.]]></p></abstract>
