'''Rolando Félix Armendáriz''' (ca. 1980-2007) was a Mexican Uto-Aztecanist. He studied and worked at the University of Sonora. He worked primarily on the [[Warihío]] (or Huarijio) language (cf. Félix Armendáriz 2007).

 Félix Armendáriz´s M.A. thesis deals with the grammatical relations in [[Yaqui]] taking [[Role and Reference Grammar]] as a theoretical approach. His work focuses on [[double object construction]]s, summarizing previous studies, in particular Escalante (1990) and Rude (1996), and centering on the coding and behavioral properties of the construction according to Keenan (1976). The thesis proposes that Yaqui is a primary object language, and that Yaqui is a language where grammatical relations as well as semantic relations are present.
-At Rice University, Félix Armendáriz worked closely with [[James Copeland]], [[Philip Davis]], and [[Masayoshi Shibatani]], who were also principal members of his dissertation committee. His Ph.D. dissertation, focusing on [[Warihío]], another Uto-Aztecan language, was entitled ''A Grammar of River Warihio'' and was completed in 2005. This work contains detailed analyses of the complex and rich [[voice]] phenomena in addition to an overall description of the language in the [[functional-typological]] framework. It is also a useful reference grammar contributing especially to the understanding of many aspects of morphosyntax of Uto-Aztecan languages.

 From 1998 to his untimely passing, Félix Armendáriz presented eighteen papers at several different international conferences, such as [[Workshop on American Indigenous Languages]] at Santa Barbara, the Annual meeting of [[SSILA]], at Albuquerque, [[Syntax of the World's Languages]] at Leipzig, Congress 7 of the [[High Desert Linguistics Society]] at Albuquerque, and International Conference on Role and Reference Grammar at Mexico City, among others. In addition, Félix Armendáriz published approximately ten articles, dealing with morphosyntactic aspects of Warihio and Yaqui.  However, his most important publication is the book ''A Grammar of River Warihio'' (Félix Armendáriz 2007), based on his dissertation.  It is the first thorough treatment of one of the undescribed Uto-Aztecan languages of Sonora, Mexico, with approximately three thousand speakers.

-Rolando Félix Armendáriz entered the B.A. Program in Linguistics at the [[University of Sonora]], in Hermosillo, Sonora, México in August 1993. At the beginning he was interested in doing neurolinguistics, but eventually he turned enthusiastically to morphosyntactic research on Mexico’s native languages.  This interest made him get involved – from 1998 to 2000 –  in the first graduate class of the Master Program in Linguistics at the University of Sonora. During this period, he had the opportunity to attend courses lectured by [[Bernard Comrie]], [[Robert D. Van Valin, Jr.]], [[T. Givón]], [[William Foley]], [[Karen Dakin]], [[Thomas Smith-Stark]], and other Mexican professors.

 From August 2000 to June 2004 he pursued his Ph.D. studies at [[Rice University]] in Houston, Texas, where he was awarded with a scholarship. Immediately after that, he obtained an invitation from the Department of Linguistics at the [[Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology]] in Leizpig, Germany, to write his dissertation.
