Here are some comments you can say: o Happy Comments: Yay! Awesome! Great! I love it! Cool! o Other Comments: Oh no! Uh-oh! No way! During the game, you can also focus on other vocabulary words like colors, prepositions (up/down, front/back, in front/behind), determiners (that, this, there, here), or pronouns (I, you, he, she). Structure the game so before each turn the child/client has to say something on the Three (+) Words: device before taking a turn.

But remember to also model on the AAC device social language, like comments (see the first bullet point for ideas). Keep your modeling of language natural! Don’t force the child/client to touch the screen all the time, but provide the opportunity. And just keep modeling! © 2020 PRC-Saltillo.

Nonetheless, for the following reasons, somewordsinthisbookarewritteninanorthographythatdiffersfromthe traditional one. ̈ Theorthographyis,ofcourse,“hispanicized.”Torepresentthephoneticele- ments of Nahuatl, the letters or combinations of letters that represent identical or similar sounds in Spanish are used. Hence, there is no problem with the sounds that exist in both languages, not to mention those that are lacking in Nahuatl (b, d, g, r etc.). On the other hand, those that exist in Nahuatl but not inSpanisharefoundinalternatespellings,orareevenaltogetherignored.In particular, this is the case with vowel length and (even worse) with the glottal stop (see Table 1.1), which are systematically marked only by two grammar- ians, Horacio Carochi and Aldama y Guevara, and in a text named Bancroft Dialogues.1 ̈ This defective character is heightened by a certain fluctuation because the orthography of Nahuatl has never really been fixed. Hence, certain texts represent the vowel /i/ indifferently with i or j, others always represent it with i but extend this spelling to consonantal /y/, that is, to a differ- ent phoneme.

  • CURRENT TRENDS in MAYAN LITERACY Joseph Dechicchis Kwansei Gakuin University, Sanda, Japan
    CURRENT TRENDS IN MAYAN LITERACY Joseph DeChicchis Kwansei Gakuin University, Sanda, Japan Abstract: The Maya are not dead, and their languages continue to be used. Reviewing the history of Mayan literacy, we focus on several important changes which have been facilitated by an invigorated spirit of pan-Mayanism since the mid-1980s. The Maya have succeeded in changing Guatemalan language policy and statutory law during the past generation. Key legal changes and policy decisions, which seemed perhaps insufficient at first, have resulted in increased literacy, including multimodal literacy, throughout the Mayan areas of Guatemala. Robust language communities, such as the K’iche’ and the Q’eqchi', have certainly benefi tted from government literacy initiatives, but even endangered communities, such as the Ch’orti’, have seen improvements in literacy. Guatemala clearly deserves most of the credit for initiating the new laws and policy changes which have fostered growing literacy among the Mayans. The spirit of pan- Mayanism has also helped to improve Mayan literacy in Belize and Mexico. Guatemala’s initiatives have also been a catalyst for NGO literacy programs, and they have served as a touchstone for pan-Mayan coöperation and coördination in general. Of course, the Maya’s ancient writing is legend, so today’s Mayan literacy is actually a recovery of literacy. Still, on balance, the past 25 years represent perhaps the most optimistic period for Mayan literacy since the destruction of the indigenous Mayan literature in 1697. Key words: Mayan languages, language policy, pan-Mayanism, literacy revitalization MAYAN LANGUAGES AND HISTORICAL MAYAN LITERACY Mayan is a Mesoamerican language family, characteristic of the Maya people.
