  • Xoqoneb’: an Uspanteko Story from the Central Highlands of Guatemala
    Xoqoneb’: An Uspanteko story from the central highlands of Guatemala Robert Henderson, Tomás Alberto Méndez López, Ryan Bennett, and Megan Harvey Narrated by Virgilio Tomás Méndez DRAFT 5/06/20 Abstract Uspanteko is one of the smallest and most threatened Mayan languages spoken in Guatemala. While Uspanteko belongs to the K’ichean branch of the Mayan family, it bears a striking number of linguistic features not seen in its sister languages, across major aspects of the grammar, including phonetics/phonology (i.e., lexical tone) and morphosyntax (i.e., null verbal inflection). After introducing an Uspanteko text about the sacred hill Xoqoneb’ and placing it in its cultural context, including surveying related Uspanteko texts, we use Xoqoneb’ to illustrate those aspects of the Uspanteko language which stand out relative to other K’ichean languages. We also comment on the possible sources of these divergent features, which include both language contact and innovation. 1 Introduction The text presented in this article, entitled Xoqoneb’, takes it name from a toponym for one of the four sacred hills that surround Tz’únun Kaab’ (San Miguel Uspantán) in the central highlands of Guatemala. It was related to us in 2019 by Virgilio Tomás Méndez in Jacubí, a neighborhood in the northwest corner of San Miguel Uspantán. This text was transcribed and translated by Mr. Méndez’s son, one of the co-authors of the present work. It describes an encounter between an Uspanteko man and the supernatural lord of the hill Xoqoneb’. The festival of San Miguel is approaching, but the man has no money for a costume to dance in the festivities.

  • The Towns Op Lake Atitlan by Sol Tax
    THE TOWNS OP LAKE ATITLAN BY SOL TAX MICROFILM COLLECTION OP MANUSCRIPTS ON MIDDLE AMERICAN CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY No. 13 UNIVERSITY OP CHICAGO LIBRARY CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 1946 // INTRODUCTION In October of 1936, the author and his wife settled In Panajaohel, on the north shore of Atitlan, to pursue investigations of the Indians of Guatemala undertaken by the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The field season, which lasted eight months, was to be devoted to the study of several of the towns of the lake. With the aid of a fast launch, we began periodic visits to several of the towns, especially Santa Catarina Palop6 and San Marcos la laguna. Before the season was over, we were joined by Dr. Manuel J. Andrade, who was undertaking a linguistic survey of th^&ame communities, and for part of the time, we travelled together. His notes on the lake towns are published in this microfilm collection (No. 11). Also during the season we were joined by Dr. Lila M. O'Neale, who undertook a study of the textiles of Highland Guatemala. The results of her studies are published as, "Textiles of Highland Guatemala", Ca-'negir Institution of Washington. Publication 567. 1945. In succeeding years, the authors made a thorough study of the town of Panajachel itself, the results of which are to be printed; SeRor Juan Rosales made a thorough study of the town of San Pedro la laguna, the results of which are also publishedjby the Guatemalan government; and Dr. Robert Redfield spent considerable time in the town of San Antonio Palopo and the ladino community of Agua Escondida of the same municipio.
