As awareness about this has increased, so have responses from a number of stakeholders. In this study we present the results of the Global Survey of Re- vitalization Efforts carried out by a mixed methods approach and comparative analysis of revitalization efforts worldwide. The Survey included 30 questions, was administered online in 7 languages, and documented 245 revitalization ef- forts yielding some 40,000 bits of data. In this study, we report on frequency counts and show, among other findings, that revitalization efforts are heavily fo- cused on language teaching, perhaps over intergenerational transmission of a lan- guage, and rely heavily on community involvement although do not only involve language community members exclusively. The data also show that support for language revitalization in the way of funding, as well as endorsement, is critical to revitalization efforts. This study also makes evident the social, cultural, polit- ical, and geographic gaps in what we know about revitalization worldwide. We hope that this study will strengthen broad interest and commitment to studying, understanding, and supporting language revitalization as an integral aspect of the history of human language in the 21st century. 1.

GAMBLE MICHAEL WILKEN-ROBERTSON Department of Anthropology, San Diego State University, 5500 Campanile Drive, San Diego, CA 92182 The cultural landscape of the Kumeyaay living in the Tijuana River Watershed of Baja California embodies the sacred, symbolic, economic, and mythological views of a people who have lived in the region for centuries. Recent research on this region that integrates ethnographic, ethnohistorical, and (to a lesser degree) archaeological information reveals a landscape that is alive and imbued with power, sustenance, and legend—a dynamic construct that reflects both changing Kumeyaay relationships with the land and the group’s continuity with the past. Sacred sites, peaks, transformed rocks, magic boulders, and other geographic features associated with oral traditions populate the landscape. Ecosystems and areas of historic significance represent direct links with generations of ancestors and are still layered with meaning in the minds of descendants. For us the mountains, the rocks, the trees: all this is something important.

  • Person Marking in Ja'a Kumiai
    AMERINDIA 42: 23-47, 2020 Person marking in Ja’a Kumiai (Yuman)* Gabriela CABALLERO & Qi CHENG University of California, San Diego Abstract: Kumiai language varieties (Yuman; Mexico/USA) have been documented to possess complex person marking systems, with portmanteau markers for transitive verbs and a high degree of optionality and variability in terms of their morphophonological realization. This variation in person marking realization has been attributed to various factors, including patterns of language attrition and contact. Based on original field research data, this paper provides a compositional analysis of the person marking system of Ja'a Kumiai, where general phonological constraints may lead to the reduction or loss of morphological contrasts. Person marking is thus neither optional nor undergoing erosion; homophony in verbal paradigms results instead from systematic structural principles. We also show that agreement in this language involves an inverse/direct contrast, a type of system not previously described in the Yuman language family. Keywords: Yuman, verbal agreement, inverse marking, morphophonology, morphosyntax. 1. Introduction Ja’a Kumiai is a critically endangered Yuman language spoken in Baja California, Mexico. We contribute to the description and documentation of this language by providing an analysis of its person marking system and the factors that govern its morphological exponence. Related varieties have been documented to possess complex person marking systems, with a set of portmanteau markers that encode
