Abstract
Based on Talmy’s theory, about semantic categories in motion events, the concept of directional suffixes has been delimited in twenty-six Andean and Amazon languages. Therefore, directional suffixes have been determined to be morphemes that encode the semantic category “path” in motion verbs. Starting from Aymara, which registers a wide variety of directional suffixes, it was found that various languages of the region also use these suffixes embedded in the pre-inflectional boxes of the verbal structure. Their presence in a language does not depend on geographic factors due they are found even in the lowlands of Vaupés (Wanano) and Purús (Jarawara). While in modern Quechua and Chipaya, despite being highland languages such as Aymara, directional suffixes are not maintained and tend to expire. On the other hand, the comparative examination of the presence of directional suffixes, in the twenty-six languages studied, indicates how they have evolved; in one case, how they become suffixes, and how they become extinct and leave a trace in aspectual suffixes or as a fossilized segment in a root.
