- Abstract
- This article offers a brief overview of the temporal system of the Paraguayan Guarani (Tupi Guarani family). Particular attention is paid to the relative order of grammatical indicators in the agglutinative verb word form. The order of the main species-temporal suffixes and clitics of the Paraguayan Guarani iconically reflects the ratio of their spheres of action: indicators with a wider semantic sphere of action are located to the right, that is, farther from the root. At the same time, visible violations of the typological universals of the order of affixes, such as J. Bybi's principle of relevance, are illusory in nature and disappear with a closer look at the semantics of the corresponding indicators.
