Based on primary data and secondary sources, this paper analyzes the diatopic and diachronic variation of the pronominal object, which distinguishes the Pilcomayeno and Bermejeno dialectal groups in Wichi/Weenhayek language (Mataguayan family, Argentina and Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia). Whereas the Pilcomayeno dialect employs a prefix in non-derived and causative-derived predicates, and a suffix, in predicates derived by locatives/directionals, the Bermejeno dialect employs a suffix in all syntactic contexts. We argue that the development of the prefixing object in the Pilcomayeno follows the typological correlation to the VO word order, and develops from a change of lexeme>grammatical morpheme. In a different way, the suffixing paradigm in predicates with locatives/directionals in both dialectal groups mirrors the old word order in the asymmetrical serial verb construction and develops from a reanalysis of this construction. This reanalysis leads, also, the grammaticalization of the locatives and directionals from verbal roots. Syntactic cognates in the language family lead us to propose the hypothesis that this syntactic reanalysis could at least have started in the Proto-Mataguayan. Finally, we argue that the Bermejeno dialect regularized the object paradigm to suffixes, and thus, separating from the Mataguayan language family and leading the change.
