Description
Summary:This research analyzes the system of reference in narratives from the Wixárika language. The language displays 8 strategies for identifying entities and their functions, 6 of which are common at a typological level, while the remaining two distinguish Wixárika from other Southern Uto-Aztecan languages. These two  strategies include the suffixes of referential continuity and possessive pronouns which encode same or different subject. This research provides a detailed description of these resources, including their frequency and the process of grammaticalization of the suffixes of referential continuity. Overall, the language exhibits patterns that differ from those observed in previous literature.
