  • Toward a Comprehensive Model For
    Toward a Comprehensive Model for Nahuatl Language Research and Revitalization JUSTYNA OLKO,a JOHN SULLIVANa, b, c University of Warsaw;a Instituto de Docencia e Investigación Etnológica de Zacatecas;b Universidad Autonóma de Zacatecasc 1 Introduction Nahuatl, a Uto-Aztecan language, enjoyed great political and cultural importance in the pre-Hispanic and colonial world over a long stretch of time and has survived to the present day.1 With an estimated 1.376 million speakers currently inhabiting several regions of Mexico,2 it would not seem to be in danger of extinction, but in fact it is. Formerly the language of the Aztec empire and a lingua franca across Mesoamerica, after the Spanish conquest Nahuatl thrived in the new colonial contexts and was widely used for administrative and religious purposes across New Spain, including areas where other native languages prevailed. Although the colonial language policy and prolonged Hispanicization are often blamed today as the main cause of language shift and the gradual displacement of Nahuatl, legal steps reinforced its importance in Spanish Mesoamerica; these include the decision by the king Philip II in 1570 to make Nahuatl the linguistic medium for religious conversion and for the training of ecclesiastics working with the native people in different regions. Members of the nobility belonging to other ethnic groups, as well as numerous non-elite figures of different backgrounds, including Spaniards, and especially friars and priests, used spoken and written Nahuatl to facilitate communication in different aspects of colonial life and religious instruction (Yannanakis 2012:669-670; Nesvig 2012:739-758; Schwaller 2012:678-687).

Imagining Convivial Multilingualism: Practices, Ideologies and Strategies in Diidxazá/ Isthmus Zapotec Indigenous Language Education Abstract This study documents practices relating to the use of Isthmus Zapotec or Diidxaza, an Indigenous language of Oaxaca, Mexico, in formal and non-formal education. Drawing on ethnographic monitoring and ethnography of language policy methodologies, I document, interpret, and ultimately engage in Isthmus Zapotec education with the aim of countering social inequalities produced through language hierarchies. Within the historical and socio-political context of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec where Isthmus Zapotec is spoken, I describe and categorize the actors, practices, and socio-political processes that currently constitute the educational language ecology. I draw on participant observation, interviews, photographs and documents collected during 17 months of ethnographic fieldwork and several subsequent visits in the Isthmus (2013-2015) in order to illustrate the linguistic landscape and the prominent practices in this domain.

  • A Critical Analysis of Mexico's Neoliberal
    THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF MEXICO’S NEOLIBERAL © COPYRIGHT by Brianna Suarez 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Dedication I dedicate this work to the indigenous water struggles that continue to occur around the world, and to those communities being denied their political and human agency in the right to potable and affordable water. To Detroit, my city, the place where I grew into consciousness. To my mother, the strongest woman I know; who taught me that through God and family all things are possible. To my sister Bianca who taught me not only to believe in my ideas of freedom, but also how to defend those ideas. THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF MEXICO’S NEOLIBERAL WATER POLICIES AND THE YAQUI CONFLICT BY Brianna J. Suarez ABSTRACT Neoliberal policies supporting the commodification of water have increasingly created conflict across Latin America. Although the conflicts are occurring in different geographical landscapes the literature on the subject has steadily focused on the urban narrative. One example of this has been the increasing focus on the successful indigenous water rights campaign in Cochabamba, Bolivia. International development and conflict resolution literature perceives the Bolivian story to be a victory for indigenous water rights. In contrast, the recent indigenous Yaqui conflict in Sanora, Mexico has reawakened the issue of the rural water conflict across Latin America. The Yaqui conflict also brings awareness to the plight of indigenous communities and the method of social resistance to protest unjust neoliberal water policies in impoverished areas. This case of the Yaqui water conflict reaffirms the continued fight against neoliberal water policies in rural Latin America for farmers, peasants, and indigenous communities.

  • Mayan Bilinguality and Cultural Change in Ancient and Contemporary Mesoamerica
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF William H. Smith for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Anthropology. History. and Art presented on February 11. 1994. Title: Mayan Bilinguality and Cultural Change in Ancient and Contemporary Mesoamerica. Abstract approved Redacted for Privacy Kenneth Beals The Importance of language and bilinguality in the development, perpetuation, and "degeneration" or change of culture is a central theme throughout this treatise. Original pictorial representations of Mayan hieroglyphic sculpture are included as examples, and represent artistic styles and language variations of written Cholan and Yucatec. Modern Cholan and Yucatecan languages are important in the decipherment of Mayan hieroglyphic writing, because these two languages were the languages of the ancient hieroglyphs. Bilinguality as a positive factor Is considered in the florescence and duration of the central lowland Mayan area. The impact of Spanish language on indigenous languages of Mesoamerica is traced from 1519 to the present. Special consideration and speculation is given to the role of Yucatec and Chol as "divine" non secular languages in the florescence of Mesoamerican cultures. This thesis is a continuation and development of undergraduate anthropologic field work undertaken in Mesoamerica during the 1970s. 0 Copyright by William H.

Cross cultural communications continually create global business agreements, encourage international exchanges and foster foreign cooperation. As access to the “globe” becomes ever more in reach to the average individual, the value of knowing a common world language, such as English, Spanish, French or Chinese becomes increasingly important. As knowledge of a world language becomes necessary, especially in terms of the job market, the preservation of less common languages, such as those spoken by indigenous communities, becomes more difficult.

  • Language Borrowing and the Indices of Adaptability and Receptivity
    Intercultural Communication Studies XIV: 2 2005 Hoffer - Language Borrowing Language Borrowing and the Indices of Adaptability and Receptivity Bates L. Hoffer Trinity University Introduction One of the most easily observable results of intercultural contact and communication is the set of loanwords that is imported into the vocabulary of each language involved. The field of cultures and languages in contact (Weinreich 1953) has grown a great deal over the past fifty years. From the early studies, a 'Scale' or 'Index of Receptivity' has been posited for languages which more readily accept borrowings. Alongside that scale, a 'Scale of Adaptability' has been posited. The study of a language's adaptability and receptivity of borrowed words, especially those from International English, provides some interesting case studies. Major languages such as English, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese make good case studies for the discussion of the indices of adaptability and receptivity. Language Borrowing Processes Language borrowing has been an interest to various fields of linguistics for some time. (Whitney 1875, deSaussure 1915, Sapir 1921, Pedersen 1931, Haugen 1950, Lehmann 1962, Hockett 1979, Anttila 1989) In the study language borrowing, loanwords are only one of the types of borrowings that occur across language boundaries. The speakers of a language have various options when confronted with new items and ideas in another language. Hockett (1958) has organized the options as follows. (1) Loanword Speakers may adopt the item or idea and the source language word for each. The borrowed form is a Loanword. These forms now function in the usual grammatical processes, with nouns taking plural and/or possessive forms of the new language and with verbs and adjectives receiving native morphemes as well.

  • Linguistic Rights in Mexico
    LINGUISTIC RIGHTS IN MEXICO ARIEL VÁZQUEZ CARRANZA UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX Abstract This paper exposes the linguistic rights situation in Mexico. To help the reader understand the linguistic rights conditions of the country, the article offers an overview of the languages of the country and their social conflict; the language policy; and the factors that have contributed to the survival of indigenous languages. In particular, the paper emphasises the fact that even though it could be argued that the process to achieve the fully exercise of linguistic rights by indigenous people has started, there are important issues that urge to be addressed by the Mexican government and society with regard to discrimination towards indigenous people. The study suggests actions to be taken in two fronts: 1) the need of sociolinguistic awareness in education; and 2) the activation of mass sensitivity and empathy towards indigenous people through the media, bringing the negative stereotype of indigenous people to a halt on television. Keywords: linguistic rights, language policy, languages of Mexico, indigenous people of Mexico Resumen El artículo describe la situación de los derechos lingüísticos en México. Además de ofrecer una perspectiva general de las lenguas del país y su conflicto social; el documento da una recapitulación de las políticas lingüísticas y presenta los factores que han contribuido a la preservación de las lenguas indígenas. A pesar de que se puede afirmar que ha comenzado el proceso para que los indígenas ejerzan sus derechos lingüísticos, este estudio enfatiza la importancia de factores que no han sido tomados en cuenta en su totalidad por parte del gobierno y la sociedad mexicana; dichos factores tienen que ver con la discriminación hacia los indígenas.

  • Nahuatl: the Influence of Spanish on the Language of the Aztecs
    Journal of the American Society of Geolinguistics Volume 38 2012 NAHUATL: THE INFLUENCE OF SPANISH ON THE LANGUAGE OF THE AZTECS Nicolás del Castillo Great Neck, NY The Spanish Conquest of Mexico in the 16th century was responsible for a cultural diffusion in the realm of linguistics. The contact of the conquistadors from the Iberian Peninsula with the indigenous people of what is now Mexico set conditions for the exchange of customs and traditions. One area of culture that served to shape cultural contact is in the field of language. The Spanish came into contact with Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs. Dalby a writer of the Aztecs, gives a brief background explaining the origin of the Aztecs. He states (436) that Aztec intruders were in the Valley of Mexico in 1256. They founded Tenochtitlan in 1325, and began to expand their empire in the 15th century. Nahuatl was essential to Spanish conquerors and “Nahuatl continued to spread while some other languages died away” (Dalby, 436). Cultural exchanges between Spanish and Nahuatl speakers left neither language unaffected and speakers exchanged portions of their language with each other. An essential fact is that “[n]o distinction between the colonial language and that of today is more immediately apparent than the influence of Spanish” (Karttunen & Lockhart, xi). Groundbreaking examples of this are seen in the extensive usage of loanwords in Nahuatl, the syntactic structure of the language and other key linguistic patterns that can be traced back to the Conquest. Spanish brought by the conquistadors served as a catalyst for Nahuatl to undergo a major transformation like no other factor.
