WHAT MA LACH's BONES TELL US: Performances of Relational
Transmotion Vol 4, No 2 (2018) WHAT MA LACH’S BONES TELL US: Performances of Relational Materiality in Response to Genocide MARÍA REGINA FIRMINO-CASTILLO Acknowledgements: Ta’ntiixh to the many persons whose knowledge and ways of being in the world lent life to the ideas in this article: Nan Xhiv Tzunun (Juana Brito Bernal), Pap Xhas Ma- tom (Jacinto Brito Bernal), Pap Xhasinib’ (Jacinto Santiago Brito), Maxho’l (Lalo Velasco Ceto), Petrona Tzunux Chivalan, Mariano Brito Santiago, Tohil Fidel Valey Brito, Violeta Luna, Daniel Guarcax, Gloria Chacón, Melissa Michal Slocum, and Amauta O.M. Firmino. Any errors and omissions in the following are my own. Dedicated to Ma Lach (María Santiago Cedillo) and Nan Xhiv Tzunun (Juana Brito Bernal). Introduction I was invited to a funeral in 2014, but the bodily remains inside the casket had been stripped of its itiixhil tiichajil—in Ixil Maya, its animating force—almost thirty years before, at the height of the Guatemalan army’s genocide against the Ixil Maya.1 In the casket was a skull with perfora- tions where bullets had entered it; there was also a femur and smaller bones I do not know the names of. But I do know the name of the person these bones once belonged to: Ma Lach (María Santiago Cedillo); she was the mother of Mariano, my husband’s cousin. At the funeral, Ma Lach’s bones were carefully arranged in the casket by a forensic anthropologist, who, with great sensitivity, told the story of what had happened to this body—the body that is/was/and had been Ma Lach. -

Defective Causative and Perception Verb Constructions in Romance. a Minimalist Approach to Infinitival and Subjunctive Clauses
Defective causative and perception verb constructions in Romance. A minimalist approach to infinitival and subjunctive clauses Elena Ciutescu Doctoral Dissertation Supervised by Dr. Jaume Mateu Fontanals Programa de Doctorat Ciència Cognitiva i Llenguatge Centre de Lingüística Teòrica Departament de Filologia Catalana Facultat de Filosofia i Lletres Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona 2018 Eu nu strivesc corola de minuni a lumii şi nu ucid cu mintea tainele, ce le-ntâlnesc în calea mea în flori, în ochi, pe buze ori morminte. Lumina altora sugrumă vraja nepătrunsului ascuns în adâncimi de întuneric, dar eu, eu cu lumina mea sporesc a lumii taină- şi-ntocmai cum cu razele ei albe luna nu micşorează, ci tremurătoare măreşte şi mai tare taina nopţii, aşa îmbogăţesc şi eu întunecata zare cu largi fiori de sfânt mister şi tot ce-i nenţeles se schimbă-n nenţelesuri şi mai mari sub ochii mei- căci eu iubesc şi flori şi ochi şi buze şi morminte. Lucian Blaga – ‘Eu nu strivesc corola de minuni a lumii’ (Poemele luminii, 1919) Abstract The present dissertation explores aspects of the micro-parametric variation found in defective complements of causative and perception verbs in Romance. The study deals with infinitival and subjunctive clauses with overt lexical subjects in three Romance languages: Spanish, Catalan and Romanian. I focus on various syntactic phenomena of the Case-agreement system in environments that exhibit defective C-T dependencies (in the spirit of Chomsky 2000; 2001, Gallego 2009; 2010; 2014). I argue in favour of a unifying account of the non- finite complementation of causative and perception verbs, investigating at the same time the mechanisms responsible for the micro-parametric variation exhibited by the three languages. -
Mapping the Language – How a Dying Language Loses Its Place in the World
Mapping the language – how a dying language loses its place in the world Dorothea Hoffmann Argue Department of Linguistics, Faculty of the Humanities University of Chicago Abstract This paper is concerned with documenting critically endangered and culturally significant aspects of spatial language in MalakMalak, a non- Pama-Nyungan Northern Daly language with eleven identified remaining speakers based in the Daly River Region in Australia. The documentation combines current speaker knowledge collected in fieldwork settings between 2012 and 2013 with historical recordings (Birk, 1971-1973) to identify such areas of knowledge that have been lost over time. As a result, this paper focuses on the intricate relationship between language, culture, landscape, and tradition in the absence of customary community life. It asks whether or not aspects of language may ever be fully documented when speakers no longer live in traditional areas practicing customary cultural life. Keywords: language endangerment, Australian Indigenous languages, spatial language, language documentation, MalakMalak 1. Introduction Naming, travelling, and ‘singing’ the land is of very high significance to the culture in indigenous Australia. In traditional mythological dreamtime narratives the ancestral beings travel the country to give it form and identity (Myers, 1986: 49-50). In the customary lifestyle of hunting and gathering high significance was placed on using highly specific spatial language and intricate knowledge of toponyms and landscape features. It is not surprising that therefore, as observed for other Australian languages such as Gurindji (Meakins, 2011), Jaminjung (Schultze-Berndt, 2006), Arrernte (Wilkins, 2006), Warrwa (McGregor, 2006), Guugu Yimithirr (Haviland, 1993), Kriol (Hoffmann, 2012) and many others, spatial absolute and deictic systems in MalakMalak are a highly significant part of the languages’ grammar and underlying cognitive system (Hoffmann, under review/2013). -

Latinos and Other Minorities in Los Angeles: Their Languages
UCLA Voices Title Latinos and Other Minorities in Los Angeles: Their Languages Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5d639913 Journal Voices, 2(1) Author Parodi, Claudia Publication Date 2014 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ 4.0 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Latinos and Other Minorities in Los Angeles: Their Languages Claudia Parodi University of California, Los Angeles Centro de Estudios de Español de Estados Unidos (CEEEUS) Abstract In Los Angeles, among other ethnic groups, live Anglos, Latinos, Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, Iranians, Arabs, Russians, French and Israelis, just to mention a few. They use their native or heritage languages mostly to communicate with each other within their ethnic group. In fact, these speakers and their languages are not erratically intermingled, but grouped by ethnicity in different geographical areas in the city. In this paper, I address the social and linguistic similarities and differences of the minority languages most widely spoken in Los Angeles, which is a geographical point of attraction and irradiation in Southern California. In fact, major ethnic and linguistic diversity in the Western United States is localized in Los Angeles.* Keywords: Los Angeles ethic groups, minority languages, diglosia, koiné, Spanish he City of Los Angeles, California is a language hub and a fan- Ttastic laboratory in which to observe the role and interaction of linguistic communities. Although Angelinos interact with each other, they do not form a melting pot, but rather a sociolinguistic mosaic of languages in contact. In this city live Anglos, Latinos, Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, Iranians, Arabs, Russians, French and Israelis, just to mention some Angelino ethnic groups. -

Washington, DC: Georgetown University Press, 2008. ISBN: 978-1-58901-213-4. In John M. Lipski’s Varieties of Spanish in the United States, the author outlines the importance of the Spanish language in the United States and describes the major varieties of Spanish found here. This book consists of an introduction and 13 chapters. A brief historical account of each Spanish-speaking group, demographic information, sociolinguistic configurations, descriptive information about the Spanish varieties, and an overview of scholarship are presented in each chapter. In Chapter 1, Lipski gives a brief introduction to the major varieties of U.S. Spanish and to the circumstances that brought these groups to the United States. The demographics of U.S. Spanish and the teaching of Spanish as a second language in the United States are then discussed. In Chapter 2, the author outlines the scholarship on Spanish in the United States. He traces the evolution of U.S. Spanish studies from the pioneering work of Aurelio Espinosa, an expert on New Mexico Spanish, to the emergence of Spanish as a national language in the 1950s and 1960s, and to the study of U.S. -
