As a practical tool, NAWACOLEX systematizes and integrates these texts and lexical resources to make it easier to access the primary materials through an incorporated user interface. NAWACOLEX 2.1 can be downloaded with all these features and used on a computer to read, search, explore and study the linguistic material and the content. This is the first version of NAWACOLEX to be shared with advanced students and fellow researchers. The prior version of this material (NAWACOLEX [version 1], ~2008) and its predecessors (NAWATLEX and Nawat Corpus 1.0, both ~2004) were all intended for personal research and as prototypes, and not distributed. The upgrade to version 2.1, carried out in 2013, has involved reorganisation of materials, some new transcriptions, designing a more polished and user-friendly interface and the development of this tutorial prior to sharing this package with interested colleagues. Details about how to obtain NAWACOLEX 2.1, discussions and announcements of future upgrades may be found at the Seminario Lingüístico Náhuat (SLN) on Facebook. Information can also be requested personally from me at [email protected]. The following tutorial will tell you how to get started, explain how the database is organised and works, give basic operating instructions, and list the contents of the current text corpus and the lexicons incorporated. I take this opportunity to thank those who have helped with parts of the considerable work that has gone into transcribing materials that have a place in NAWACOLEX 2.1, and those who have provided such materials, and in particular I wish to acknowledge help received from the Ne Bibliaj Tik Nawat project (in the person of Jan Morrow) which has helped finance the last few months of work necessary to develop the present upgrade of NAWACOLEX, without which its public appearance would certainly have been delayed. This result should not be judged as a finished general publication. It would be closer to the mark to think of this as my personal notes, packaged and wrapped in a form that, although not as polished as a fully public release, will give fellow Nawat scholars access to these materials and will hopefully facilitate their use and study and encourage better acquaintance with the richness of the Nawat language, which is still unknown to, or ignored by, far too many people, and the study of which is essential for the language’s successful recovery, which is the hope that inspires this effort and to which it is humbly dedicated. Alan King December, 2013 THE NAWACOLEX DATABASE What is NAWACOLEX? The NAWACOLEX (Nawat Corpus & Lexicon) database is a database structure serving as a holder for the Nawat texts and lexicons it contains. These texts all ultimately come from native Nawat speakers; in some cases have been published previously and there are also some unpublished texts. Also included are some transcriptions of recorded interviews with native speakers from the IRIN documentation project. The older texts and lexicons have been re-spelled in the common, modern orthography, both for users’ convenience and to facilitate the efficient functioning of the database as a tool for linguistic study and research. The software employed is an application called Toolbox developed and freely distributed by SIL (the Summer Institute of Linguists). This application, together with the specific configuration developed for NAWACOLEX, offers design features facilitate a number of useful operations which will be described in detail below. What is NAWACOLEX for? With the NAWACOLEX database you can do many things, such as the following, speedily and easily: read Nawat texts, locating them rapidly from a single index and displaying them in a single text window. display Nawat lexicons at a single click. search for any word in the whole text corpus or a part of it, and create concordances. see a wordlist, i.e. an alphabetical list of all the words that occur in the text corpus with information on the frequency of each word and a list of places where the word occurs, with the ability to view any of the locations listed. quickly find any word in the corpus wordlist or in the lexicon of one’s choice, provided it is listed in that lexicon. quickly look up in a lexicon any word that occurs in a text. There are also things that NAWACOLEX doesn’t do. For instance: NAWACOLEX does not show the original formatting of texts or other elements contained in publications such as illustratrations, notes etc.; for all such things the original texts must be consulted. The texts in NAWACOLEX have all been transcribed into modern spelling, which is usually an advantage for searches etc., but usually you cannot see the original spelling in NAWACOLEX, but must go to the original for that. The NawaCoLex Database 5 When you are reading a Nawat text, NAWACOLEX usually cannot provide you with its translation (however, you can look up words you don’t understand in its lexicons). How does NAWACOLEX work? NAWACOLEX is built with an application called Field Linguist's Toolbox (http://www- 01.sil.org/computing/toolbox/) but usually referred to as Toolbox for short. Toolbox has been developed by the Summer Institute of Linguists (SIL) and is distributed free of charge. This is a flexible tool well adapted to a number of text/language-related areas including corpus development and lexical work. Toolbox is considered a database programme, but unlike standard databases it is specifically adapted to the needs of people working with two basic aspects of language work: text and vocabulary. Thus it is ideal for the present purpose. Toolbox treats a file containing a text as a “database” (though in this tutorial we will often call it a “document” or a “file” for clarity). Each such text file is divided into parts called “records”, but which we may also call pages, sections, chapters etc., and each record is further divided into lines (basically, sentences) and/or fields. Where the texts of the corpus are concerned, every file, every section/page and every line is assigned an identifying code. These are used by NAWACOLEX to identify sentences and texts internally. Thanks to them, NAWACOLEX can quickly find and display any sentence in the corpus, and it can tell us what sentences (in which texts, and where) contain any word. A lexicon also takes the form of a database. This kind is divided into records that we usually call “entries” (like a dictionary entry) for individual Nawat words, and each entry contains fields where different kinds of information has been inserted, such as the Nawat headword, the gloss (i.e. translation), and other information about the word. Toolbox can take an item in one lexicon and look for similar items in another lexicon (i.e. perform automatic cross-references). It can also take a word in a text and find its entry in a lexicon (i.e. look up words), but only if the word is in its citation form. Moreover, Toolbox can generate other kinds of database from existing ones. For example, from one or more text files it can create something which we call a wordlist; this is a file where all the words in those texts are listed in alphabetical order, together with an indication of how many times they occur in the texts and even a list of the places where they occur. Secondly, Toolbox can create another kind of list called a concordance, which tells us about the occurrences of particular words or phrases. The NawaCoLex Database 6 What is in NAWACOLEX 2.1? For the in-depth study of a language such as Nawat, it is important to dispose of texts which provide reliable samples of the language as it is, or has been, in use. Since these are not very many or very voluminous, this amounts to trying to collect together just about everything that can be found, with emphasis on the best sources and the largest ones in order to possess as much good data as possible.

  • Chapter 5 Nawat
    Chapter 5 Nawat 5.1 Introduction This chapter introduces the Nawat/Pipil language. Section 5.2 explains the Nawat/Pipil and the Nawat/Nahuatl distinction. A brief history of the Pipil people is provided in section 5.3. Section 5.4 reviews the available Nawat language resources. A basic grammar is outlined in section 5.5. A more complete description would require more resources beyond the scope of the present project. Section 5.6 discusses the issues that arise for the present project, including what alphabet and dialect to use. Section 5.7 provides a summary of the chapter. 5.2 Nawat – Some Basic Facts Nawat versus Pipil In the literature, the Nawat language of El Salvador is referred to as Pipil. The people who speak the language are known as the Pipil people, hence the use of the word Pipil for their language. However, the Pipil speakers themselves refer to their language as Nawat. In El Salvador, the local Spanish speakers refer to the language as “nahuat” (pronounced “/nawat/”). Throughout this document, the language will be called Nawat. El Salvador is a small country in Central America. It is bordered on the north-west by Guatemala and on the north-east by Honduras. See Figure 5.1 for a map of Central America. El Salvador (Used by permission of The General Libraries, The University of Texas at Austin) Figure 5.1 Map of Central America 75 Nawat versus Nahuatl Nawat is an Uto-Aztecan language (Campbell, 1985). It is related to the Nahuatl language spoken in Mexico (which is where the Pipils originally came from, see section 5.3).

In this research, eleven categories of names for drug/alcohol treatment facilities have been identified while eight categories have been identified for adult daycare centers. Ten categories have become apparent for nursing homes and assisted living facilities. These naming choices function as euphemisms in many cases, and in others, names reference morphemes which are perceived to reference a higher social class than competitor names.

Based on evidence from Koryak (Chukotko-Kamchan) anaphors, we argue that the AAE should be weakened and be stated as a generalization about person agreement only. We propose a theory of the weakened AAE, which combines a modification of Preminger (2019)'s AnaphP-encapsulation proposal as well as converging evidence from work on the internal syntax of pronouns (Harbour 2016, van Urk 2018).

Languages are endangered by a number of factors, including globalization, education pol- icies, and the political, economic, and cultural marginalization of minority groups. This guidebook provides ideas and strategies, as well as some background, to help with the effective revitalization of endangered languages. It covers a broad scope of themes including effective planning, benefits, well- being, economic aspects, attitudes, and ideologies. The chapter authors have hands-on experience of language revitalization in many countries around the world, and each chapter includes a wealth of examples, such as case studies from specific languages and language areas. Clearly and accessibly written, it is suitable for nonspecialists as well as for academic researchers and students interested in language revitalization. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. justyna olko, director of the Center for Research and Practice in Cultural Continuity at the University of Warsaw, is engaged in revitalizing the Nahuatl language in Mexico and works with activists supporting other endangered languages, especially in the area of Poland.

    USING NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO PRODUCE LANGUAGE MATERIAL FOR MINORITY AND ENDANGERED LANGUAGES Monica Ward, School of Computer Applications, Dublin City University [email protected] Abstract: While the impact of new technologies and the globalisation process pose many challenges to Minority Languages (MLs) and Endangered Languages (ELs), technology can be also used to the benefit of these languages. This paper discusses how technology can bring benefits for MLs/Els. It outlines what Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) can and cannot do for MLs and ELs. It describes a software template and syllabus that can be used to produce CALL materials for MLs and ELs and outlines courseware that was developed for Nawat, an EL of El Salvador. Finally, the paper highlights the need for linguists, universities and ML/EL communities need to work together to produce worthwhile and usable CALL materials. Introduction New technologies and the globalisation process pose many challenges to minority Languages (MLs) and Endangered Languages (ELs). They can often serve to further marginalize these languages and erode their sphere of usage. However, new technologies also offer benefits for MLs and ELs. They provide a mechanism for quick and easy publication of resources (via the Internet), a forum for the use of the language (via discussion boards) and a means to provide language learning resources (via Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) materials). This paper outlines how technology can help MLs and ELs and discusses a working example of how technology has been used to provide linguistic and language learning material for Nawat, an EL of El Salvador (less than 100 remaining speakers).
