Degree awarded December 2013 ii © 2013 Yolanda Valdez Jara iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Yolanda Valdez Jara Doctor of Philosophy Department of Linguistics December 2013 Title: Predication in Rarómuri (Urique Tarahumara) The Rarómuri, or Urique Tarahumara (UT), language belongs to the Taracahitian sub-branch of the Uto-Aztecan family. There are five major linguistics variants called Tarahumara, all spoken in Chihuahua state in northern Mexico. This dissertation is an introduction to how both verbal and nonverbal predicates are formed in the language of the Rarómuri people, as spoken in Urique, Chihuahua. The central contribution of this dissertation is found in Chapter IV on nonverbal predication and Chapter V on verbal predication, and the work opens with three chapters: Chapter I is the introduction, Chapter II introduces the orthography and some of the most common morphophonological processes, and Chapter III sketches the morphology and syntax of the Noun Phrase. Chapter VI concludes the dissertation with a discussion of directions for future research. This dissertation is based on a combination of recorded texts and elicited material. The texts provided the natural language where the constructions in question occur in actual use, providing the motivation and signaling directions for elicitation, which then allowed the understanding of the intricate morphological patterns. Both types of data material are invaluable for the researcher, and I include examples of both when possible. iv One point of typological interest in UT is the verbal indexation system for subjects in the past tense, which includes suffixes for 3SG/PL and 1PL, zero marking (fused with the tense suffix) for 2PL, and verbal enclitics for 1SG and 2SG. The verbal enclitics also occur marking future tense verbs. The verbal enclitics for 1SG and 2SG can also mark object, and alone among core arguments, the 1SG free pronoun object must take a locative suffix. Looking at person marking and object case, it appears that UT has an incipient hierarchical system, with 1SG > 2SG > 1PL/2PL/3. Another of the most salient features of UT is the morphophonology. It is common in UT for a morpheme to present several allomorphs, and some, like the Potential Future, can have up to 9 allomorphs. Some of this allomorphy is phonologically conditioned, other allomorphy is lexically conditioned, and other allomorphy is clearly suppletive. The interaction of these conditioning factors is possible. v CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: Yolanda Valdez Jara GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOLS ATTENDED: University of Oregon, Eugene Universidad de Sonora, Hermosillo, Sonora, México DEGREES AWARDED: Doctor of Philosophy, Linguistics, 2013, University of Oregon Master of Arts, Linguistics, 2005, Universidad de Sonora Bachelor of Arts, Linguistics, 1997, Universidad de Sonora AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST: Theoretical linguistics and typology: Morphosyntax with focus in Uto-Aztecan languages.

  • The Reorganization of the Huichol Ceremonial Precinct (Tukipa) of Guadalupe Ocotán, Nayarit, México Translation of the Spanish by Eduardo Williams
    FAMSI © 2007: Víctor Manuel Téllez Lozano The Reorganization of the Huichol Ceremonial Precinct (Tukipa) of Guadalupe Ocotán, Nayarit, México Translation of the Spanish by Eduardo Williams Research Year : 2005 Culture : Huichol Chronology : Modern Location : Nayarit, México Site : Guadalupe Ocotán Table of Contents Abstract Resumen Linguistic Note Introduction Architectural Influences The Tukipa District of Xatsitsarie The Revolutionary Period and the Reorganization of the Community The Fragmentation of the Community The Tukipa Precinct of Xatsitsarie Conclusions Acknowledgements Appendix: Ceremonial precincts derived from Xatsitsarie’s Tuki List of Figures Sources Cited Abstract This report summarizes the results of research undertaken in Guadalupe Ocotán, a dependency and agrarian community located in the municipality of La Yesca, Nayarit. This study explores in greater depth the political and ceremonial relations that existed between the ceremonial district of Xatsitsarie and San Andrés Cohamiata , one of three Wixaritari (Huichol) communities in the area of the Chapalagana River, in the northern area of the state of Jalisco ( Figure 1 , shown below). Moreover, it analyzes how the destruction of the Temple ( Tuki ) of Guadalupe Ocotán, together with the modification of the community's territory, determined the collapse of these ceremonial links in the second half of the 20th century. The ceremonial reorganization of this district is analyzed using a diachronic perspective, in which the ethnographic record, which begins with Lumholtz' work in the late 19th century, is contrasted with reports by missionaries and oral history. Similarly, on the basis of ethnographic data and information provided by archaeological studies, this study offers a reinterpretation of certain ethnohistorical sources related to the antecedents of these ceremonial centers.

The linguistic shift of the yoremnokki language is a fact; to study this phenomenon, an ethnographic study was carried out in 2019 in the North of Sinaloa, Mexico in the yoreme mayo region. We found that there are more factors for the displacement of the yoremnokki language than there are for its maintenance. The centennial restriction generational transmission is one of the factors that most influence the movement of the linguistic yoremnokki; although the yoreme mayo population grew from 1985 to date, in proportion to the total population, it is decreasing. There are fewer and fewer spaces in their domain; the last refuge is that of festivals and rituals. New spaces have been opened, radio, telephones, internet and higher education, but they are limited.

  • Wrote in Cucurpe, on 30Th April 1689, to His Aunt Francisca Adlmann in Škofja Loka, Slovenia
    UDK 929 Kappus M. A. A LETTER OF MARCUS ANTONIUS KAPPUS TO EUSEBIUS FRANCISCUS KINO (SONORA IN1690) Tomaž Nabergoj INTRODUCTION The life and work of the Slovene Jesuit, Marcus Antonius Kappus (1657 -1717) who, three centuries ago, worked as a missionary in Sonora, north-west Mexico, has, in recent years, been the subject of several short studies in Slovenia. In this journal, Professor Janez Stanonik has, so far, published five letters which Kappus sent home to his relatives and friends, and one letter which he sent to hi s friend in Vienna, 1 as well as a study on the collection of poems (276 chronograms) in Latin, which Kappus published in Mexico City, in 1708, entitled IHS. Enthusiasmus sive solemnes !udi poe tici. 2 Prompted by the above publications, the author of this paper spent a month in Sonora while journeying in Mexico in 1991. In Archivo General de la Naci6n (the general Mexican archives) in Mexico City, he happened to find another letter written by Marcus Antonius Kappus. The letter comprises two A4 pages and is kept in Archivo Hist6rico de la Hacienda, legajo 279, expediente 19.3 This, hitherto unpublished document, was written by Kappus on 25th November 1690, in Cucurpe, and is addressed to Eusebius Franciscus Kino, his superior. Chronologically, it is one of his earliest preserved letters. Among those so far published, as far as we know, it is the only one preserved in original. At the same time this is Kappus' second earliest preserved letter written in Sonora. The first he wrote in Cucurpe, on 30th April 1689, to his aunt Francisca Adlmann in Škofja Loka, Slovenia.

  • Traditional Dietary Culture of Southeast Asia
    Traditional Dietary Culture of Southeast Asia Foodways can reveal the strongest and deepest traces of human history and culture, and this pioneering volume is a detailed study of the development of the traditional dietary culture of Southeast Asia from Laos and Vietnam to the Philippines and New Guinea from earliest times to the present. Being blessed with abundant natural resources, dietary culture in Southeast Asia flourished during the pre- European period on the basis of close relationships between the cultural spheres of India and China, only to undergo significant change during the rise of Islam and the age of European colonialism. What we think of as the Southeast Asian cuisine today is the result of the complex interplay of many factors over centuries. The work is supported by full geological, archaeological, biological and chemical data, and is based largely upon Southeast Asian sources which have not been available up until now. This is essential reading for anyone interested in culinary history, the anthropology of food, and in the complex history of Southeast Asia. Professor Akira Matsuyama graduated from the University of Tokyo. He later obtained a doctorate in Agriculture from that university, later becoming Director of Radiobiology at the Institute of Physical and Chemical research. After working in Indonesia he returned to Tokyo's University of Agriculture as Visiting Professor. He is currently Honorary Scientist at the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research, Tokyo.

  • Socioeconomic Inequalities Among the Municipalities of Chihuahua, Mexico
    T h e J o u r n a l o f D e v e l o p i n g A r e a s Volume 55 No. 3 Summer 2021 SOCIOECONOMIC INEQUALITIES AMONG THE MUNICIPALITIES OF CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO Omolara Adebimpe Adekanbi Isaac Sánchez-Juárez Both affiliated with Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez, México ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to analyze the nature of inequalities among the municipalities of Chihuahua State, Mexico and the factors that contribute to the disparity. The state of Chihuahua has a deep household inequality due to the nature of the inhabitants’ occupations and comprises a significant percentage of the people living in poverty in Mexico because of social deprivation and low income. Previous studies on inequality in Mexico show that significant differences among the municipalities is caused by factors such as marginalization, low economic activity, and informal activities while some other studies have used similar variables selected from social and economic sphere. All these works used these variables to obtain the socioeconomic development index for each region under study. Following the methodology used in de Haro et al. (2017), this paper examines the social and economic conditions of the 67 municipalities of Chihuahua State by calculating the Socioeconomic Development Index (SEDI) of each municipality using the data compiled on variables such as marginalization, degree of urbanization, gross economic activity rate, economic dependence coefficient and density of paved roads. The result shows that two municipalities: Juarez and Chihuahua City have the most favorable socioeconomic conditions due to a high urban density and a low marginalization.

    Modality in Tae’ language: a grammatical-lexical view Kisman Salija – Jusmianti Garing – Idawati Garim DOI: 10.18355/XL.2017.10.04.18 Abstract There are many ways to find modality in languages. Modality of language can be expressed through grammatical or lexical feature. However, modality in Tae’ language specifically can be described through both these features. This research aims to express the modality in Tae’ language based on grammatical-lexical point of view. This is a descriptive qualitative research using library research methods. Library research aims to get of completed and detail data. Further, this research analyzes eighteen discourses of Tae’ language consisting of folklore, fable, messages, and Tae’ specific food. The result shows that there are some features marking modality in Tae’ language that expressed through grammatical and lexical feature. Grammatical modality of Tae’ established through affixation process, i.e. prefix la-, and suffixes – ri, –ra functioning as verbs and particles. Further, modality in Tae’ is also established by lexical feature using the words melo, parallu, musti, bela, wa’ding, bang, omi, sia, kade, le’, dau, tae, tannia, saba, iake, and kumua functioning as auxiliary verbs, particles, negations, and conjunctions. Semantically, these forms mark epistemic and deontic modality in Tae’ language. Epistemic and deontic modality in Tae’ describe as declarative, subjunctive, dubitative, imperative, desiderative and volition, interrogative, and possibility form. Key words: modality, epistemic, deontic, Tae’s language, grammatical-lexical view Introduction Modality can be defined as a philosophical concept, as a subject of the study of logic, or as a grammatical category. There are many definitions and classifications of modal phenomena.

  • A Substance Inhibiting the Growth of Lactic Acid Bacteria in Duhat (Sizygium Cumini Skeels) Bark
    Biocontrol Science, 2000, Vol.5, No.1, 33-38 Original A Substance Inhibiting the Growth of Lactic Acid Bacteria in Duhat (Sizygium cumini Skeels) Bark KIYOSHI MURA*, HIDEAKI SHIRAMATSU, AND WAHACHIRO TANIMURA Faculty of Applied Bioscience, Tokyo University of Agriculture , 1-1-1 Sakuragaoka, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo 156-8502, Japan Received 2 April 1999/Accepted 8 September 1999 We isolated a substance inhibiting the growth of lactic acid bacteria from duhat bark, which is added to "basi" , a sugar cane wine in the Philippines, and investigated its structure . By adding gelatin to the aqueous extract of duhat bark (AEDB), 63.2% of the polyphenol compo- nents in AEDB were precipitated, and the resulting supernatant lost its inhibitory activity on the growth of lactic acid bacteria. This result indicates that the inhibitory substance was the polyphenol component combining to protein. In addition, we fractionated AEDB into two frac- tions by ultrafiltration and investigated their inhibitory activities on the growth of lactic acid bacteria. A strong inhibitory activity was found in the fraction having molecular weight (MW) above 1•~104 containing about 53% of the polyphenol components in AEDB, indicating that the main inhibitory substance is a polyphenol component with high MW. We then separated the polyphenol components with MW above 1•~104 by ion-exclusion chromatography using CM- Sepharose CL-6B, and obtained a polyphenol component with inhibitory activity on the growth of lactic acid bacteria. The polyphenol component produced gallic acid, anthocyanidins of delphinidin and cyanidin, and glucose by hydrolysis with HCl, and was assumed to be con- densed tannin comprised of gallic acid and leucoanthocyanin.
