Resumen
En este artículo investigamos la distinción de la cuantificación contable-masa en la lengua rikbaktsa (macro-ye). Partimos del cuestionario de Lima y Rothstein (2020), al que intentamos responder levantando los datos considerando inicialmente una colección inédita que ya teníamos, dentro de la poca literatura existente sobre la lengua (Boswood 1971, 1978; SIL 2007; Silva 2011), y en una elicitación realizada con un hablante nativo del rikbaktsa. El análisis nos mostró que existe una morfología plural y que no se combina con nombres de masas. Los nombres que denotan átomos estables se combinan directamente con números. Para ser contados, los nombres de las sustancias requieren la presencia de frases de medición. Estos son indicios de que la lengua, en cuestión, se puede caracterizar como aquélla que cuenta con un número marcado (Chierchia 2010, 2015), aunque existen algunos nombres de masa que se pueden contar directamente. En ninguno de los quince idiomas presentados en Lima y Rothstein (2020) hay mención de la existencia de un morfema especializado para marcar masa. Chacón (2012) afirma que el kubeo (tukano-oriental) exhibe un demostrativo que denota masa. Este es también el caso del rikbaktsa, pero en esta lengua el demostrativo na ‘esto’, que selecciona nombres de masa, se difunde a través de la gramática, que justamente aparece con una marca de tercera persona en el pronombre personal a-na, con proformas interrogativas y en construcciones atributivas. Por lo tanto, este estudio contribuye para una mejor comprensión de la distinción de la cuantificación contable-masa a través de las lenguas y, concretamente, por medio de la gramática del rikbaktsa.
