その他の書誌記述:This paper refutes the hypothesis suggesting a linguistic influence of huetar on the cabécar term that designates the yellow-eared toucanet (Selenidera spectabilis). The study challenges the validity of the claim that the term has been borrowed from the huetar language by meticulously examining phonological irregularities proposed and verifying borrowability criteria. The findings refute the hypothesis, demonstrating the lack of solid evidence and questioning the social dynamics that influence linguistic adoption. The phonetic analysis reveals systematic patterns in the correspondence between the sound /d/ in Bribri and /t/ in Cabécar, which allow previously perceived irregularities to be discarded. The examination of the variant with [ɾ] offers nuanced insights, suggesting potential explanations beyond linguistic borrowing. This study contributes to a more subtle understanding of linguistic interactions, emphasizing the need for rigorous analysis in interpreting linguistic loans and phonetic correspondences.
