Abstract
Drawing on extensive fieldwork, this article is a survey of temporal marking, with emphasis on nominal temporal morphology, in Ashéninka Perené, an Arawak language of the Peruvian Amazon. Specifically, it examines semantic, morphosyntactic and functional properties of nominal TAM and investigates formal and functional distinctions between nominal and verbal temporal systems. It is shown here that Ashéninka Perené exhibits independent (non-propositional) temporal marking expressed by a set of two forms, -ni "ceased existence" and = ranki "temporal precedence", "change of state", and "absent in the speaker's environment at the present moment". The study has revealed that the temporal markers can be each used in the same clause to mark independent nominal and propositional verbal TAM.
