The aim of this work is to provide a detailed grammatical description of the Pau-naka language (ISO 639-3: pnk, Glottocode: paun1241), a critically endangered(cf. Krauss 2007: 6) Southern Arawakan language spoken in the Chiquitania, aregion in the lowlands of Eastern Bolivia, see Figure 1.1.The data which forms the basis for this analysis was collected by me duringfour fieldwork trips (2011, 2012, 2015, 2018) and also by my colleagues SwinthaDanielsen, Federico Villalta Rojas, and Lena Sell.This chapter offers some general introductory information about the language,its speakers, and the research location. §1.1 starts with a description of the re-gion and place where Paunaka is spoken. §1.2 offers some information about thespeakers of the language and §1.3 about the fieldwork conditions, data collectionand processing. Previous work on Paunaka is summarised in §1.4. §1.5 discussesthe name of the language. §1.6 provides a short overview about the history ofthe Paunaka people. §1.7 is about the language’s affiliation. Finally, in §1.8 thestructure of this work is presented and some remarks about general decisions inselecting and representing topics and examples are made. Paunaka is spoken in the east of Bolivia, in a region called Chiquitania. Althoughthis region belongs to the lowlands, it is not as flat as other parts of easternBolivia. Hills are a characteristic part of the landscape, as are cows grazing onthe pastures. Ecologically, the region is an intermediate zone between the humidforests of Amazonia in the north and the dry forests of the Chaco in the south.The rainy season usually lasts from November to January, while June, July, andAugust are very dry and rather cold months.
