Spanish and P'urhepecha: Mutual Influences in an Ongoing Case of Language Contact in Central Western Mexico
SPANISH AND P’URHEPECHA: MUTUAL INFLUENCES IN AN ONGOING CASE OF LANGUAGE CONTACT IN CENTRAL WESTERN MEXICO Martha Mendoza* * Associate Professor of Linguistics & Spanish. Florida Atlantic University Correo electrónico: [email protected] * Mendoza, Martha. “Spanish and P’urhepecha: Mutual Influences in an Ongoing Case of Lan- guage Contact in Central Western Mexico”. Thesaurus 58(2016): 156-179. Web. 156 n.o 58, octubre 2016 - abril 2017 Abstract Spanish in Mexico is in contact with numerous indigenous languages still spoken in its territory. Such is the case of P’urhepecha in the state of Michoacán, a language isolate part of the sixty eight indigenous language groups remaining in the country today, with as many as 125 000 speakers. Both Spanish and P’urhepecha have been influenced by each other’s presence through centuries of close contact. Over time, Spanish has been modified mostly with respect to its lexicon, while P’urhepecha has experienced both lexical and grammatical influences. Examples of the lexical in- fluence of P’urhepecha on the Spanish of Michoacán are nouns likehuarache ‘san- dal’, tacuche ‘suit’, and corunda ‘tamale’. Examples of the massive lexical influence of Spanish on P’urhepecha are words such as pensarini ‘think’ < Spanish pensar, butella ‘bottle’, mesa ‘table’, telebisioni ‘television’, etc. To this date, however, the contact between Spanish and P’urhepecha has not yet been sufficiently investigat- ed. Thus, the present study provides an overview of the history and current state of the contact between these two

Agro-Food Crafts: a Multi-Dimensional Phenomenon in the South of Guanajuato, Mexico
American International Journal of Contemporary Research Vol. 5, No. 3; June 2015 Agro-Food Crafts: A Multi-Dimensional Phenomenon in the South of Guanajuato, Mexico Dr. Perla Shiomara Del Carpio Ovando Department of Social Studies University of Guanajuato Campus Celaya-Salvatierra Salvatierra, Guanajuato México C.P.38900 Dr. Alberto Valdés Cobos Department of Cultural Demographic and Political Studies at the University of Guanajuato Campus Celaya-Salvatierra Salvatierra, Guanajuato México C.P.38900 Sergio Jacinto Alejo Doctor in Education and Professor Department of Agroindustrial Engineering of the University of Guanajuato Campus Celaya-Salvatierra Division of the Health and Engineering Sciences Salvatierra, Guanajuato México C.P.38900 Karla Del Carpio Ovando Department of Hispanic Studies College of Humanities and Social Sciences University of Northern Colorado Candelaria, Campus Box 87 Greeley, Colorado 80639 Abstract In this article we introduce agro-food crafts as an economic activity with an intimate relationship with cultural, social, religious, cosmogonical, and nutritional aspects. We undertake a brief review of food as an object of study in the Social Sciences, and then we focus on Mexican gastronomy, specifically agro-food crafts from the Salvatierra region in the south of the state of Guanajuato. Both theory and empirical evidence defend the kitchen as an intimate laboratory of generational encounters, cultural revitalization, inherited riches, health care, and community permanence. In terms of material and symbolical objects situated in time and space, food constitutes a multi-dimensional phenomenon that demands to be addressed as they are a space to form personal, social, and community identities; preserve historical and current culture, and shows how the deep roots in a rural past coexist despite the challenges that represent the drives of globalization.

Glossary of Spanish and Mexican Cooking Terms
Glossary of Spanish and Mexican Cooking Terms This reference to Spanish and Mexican cooking terms is definitely a work in progress. Like Mexico itself, Mexican cooking is a subject so vast that it defies efforts to capture it with any degree of comprehensiveness. Nevertheless, it will be added to on a continuing basis. If you are interested in a particular item or term that you do not find, please submit an e-mail query, and I will attempt to find it and add it to the list, if appropriate. A Abulón Abalone Aceite Oil Aceite de olivo Olive oil Aceituna Olive Acelga Swiss chard Acitrón Candied fruit made from shoots of the biznaga cactus used as a candy or ingredient in stuffings. Acocil Small, fresh water crustaceon Acuyo Piper sanctum. Plant with large leaves which has an anis-like flavor and is used to flavor stews and to wrap tamales. More often called hoja santa in Mexico and "root beer plant" in this country. Achiote The seed of the annato tree which is used to make a seasoning paste of the same name in the Yucatan. The paste is made by grinding the seeds with garlic, spices and lime juice or vinegar. Adobo A seasoning paste, usually containing ground chiles, vinegar, garlic and spices that is used to coat meats, poultry and seafood prior to cooking or drying to preserve. Similar to the Yucatan recado or recaudo, and achiote. Agua Water Aguacate Avocado. In Nahuatl the avocado was called ahuacatl, which means "testicle," referring to the shape of the fruit.

Mexican Cuisine
MEXICAN CUISINE Mexico is a country located in North America with a North Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea coastline. Neighbouring countries include Belize, United States, and Guatemala. Mexico is crossed by two mountain ranges known as Sierra Madre Oriental and Sierra Madre Occidental, which are the extension of the Rocky Mountains from northern North America. Historical Background The Mexican history can be divided into: • Pre-Hispanic period • Aztec cuisine • Post-conquest The indigenous peoples of Mexico and Central America hunted game and gathered plants, including wild chile peppers. Corn was not yet cultivated, so one main source of calories was roasted agave hearts. By 1200 BCE, corn was domesticated, and a process called nixtamalization, or treatment with lye, was developed to soften corn for grinding and improve its nutritional value. This allowed the creation of tortillas and other kinds of flat breads. The indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica had numerous stories about the origin of corn, usually related to be a gift of one or more gods, such as Quetzalcoatl. The other staple was beans, eaten with corn as a complimentary protein. Despite this, studies of bones have shown problems with the lack of protein in the indigenous diet, as meat was difficult to obtain. Other protein sources included amaranth, domesticated turkey, insects such as grasshoppers and ant larvae, iguanas, and turtle eggs on the coastlines. Vegetables included squash and their seeds; chilacayote; jicama, a kind of sweet potato; and edible flowers, especially those of squash. The chile pepper was used as food, ritual and as medicine. When the Spanish arrived, the Aztecs had sophisticated agricultural techniques and an abundance of food, which was the base of their economy.
