Talking to children in Tsotsil Mayan
Research on the acquisition of Mayan languages has shown child-directed communication (CDC) to be low in frequency. Nevertheless, long-term linguistic-anthropological research with the Tsotsil Mayan in Southern Mexico has documented episodes in family life when children engage in interactional routines or interactional formats (IFs) with their multigenerational caregivers. These interactions are sequentially organized communicative acts (verbal a…
Introduction to the special issue on the acquisition of Mesoamerican languages
Aprender-haciendo
El estudio documenta procesos de aprendizaje generados por la iniciativa de niños/as mayas tsotsiles del sureste mexicano en actividades valoradas culturalmente. Examina el adiestramiento mediante la exploración y la práctica (aprender-haciendo) de un niño (tres, cuatro y siete años de edad) en diversas actividades (por ejemplo, carpintería, cargar objetos con mecapal, tejido) desde el lente de una etnografía longitudinal, la videoetnografía y el…
Learning from Mayan Tzotzil
In response to Kidd and Garcia’s survey that shows the paucity of authors and languages from the Global South in four leading journals of language acquisition, I argue that Mayan language acquisition has contributed in important ways to test theories in the field at large. I specifically outline major contributions from Mayan Tzotzil acquisition to topics of input, lexical, semantic and morphological development. Research on Mesoamerican language…

Language Socialization at the Intersection of the Local and the Global
This article provides a critical review of the theoretical underpinnings of two core concepts in language socialization research: input and communicative competence. We organize our discussion along two major lines of inquiry: ( a) the historical-local and ( b) the language contact–globalization bodies of work. The first part of the article contests the persistent view that input reduces to vocabulary and grammatical structures. To this end, it p…
Framing, footing, and language scaling practices in children's multilingual peer and sibling-kin group interactions
Playing at being bilingual
Emerging learning ecologies
Texting Amor
Cell phones are vehicles for creating and transforming sociality in peer networks (Coleman 2010; Wallis 2010). In the last decade, increased access to cell phones has radically changed courtship practices among Mayan youth of Zinacantán, Chiapas, and México as young couples now text clandestine romantic relationships, unmediated by elders. Since there is essentially no vocabulary for romantic love in Mayan Tzotzil, couples now rely on Spanish exp…
Mayan Children's Creation of Learning Ecologies by Initiative and Cooperative Action
Language Socialization and Multiparty Participation Frameworks
This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction Participation Frameworks and Language Learning Corporeal Niches and Participant Configurations The Emergent Participant: The Language Socialization of Zinacantec Mayan Infants Conclusions References
Parallelism, Metalinguistic Play, and the Interactive Emergence of Zinacantec Mayan Siblings' Culture
In this article, I investigate how 2 young Tzotzil Mayan siblings playfully manipulate the sequential structure of adjacency pairs to align, to confront each other, and to challenge family roles and hierarchies. The young learners' intentional disruption reveals the early control of dialogic repetition typical of Mayan languages. More important, it illustrates the children's development of communicative competence as they reorganize greeting stru…
Verbs in Tzotzil (Mayan) early syntactic development
The verb is the primary component in the development of early Tzotzil syntax. Language-specific patterns and factors of input play a critical role in the development of the verb category in this Mayan language. Production data from two Tzotzil children show that transitivity distinctions are drawn very early. However, the children do not follow the same strategy. In one child the earliest marking of transitivity occurs with the use of imperative …
The Emergent Participant
Ethnographies of some Mayan groups have reported that there is minimal interaction with prelinguistic infants. This study shows, to the contrary, that Zinacantec Mayan infants are socialized as participants in a flux of dyadic and polyadic interactions. I provide two kinds of evidence in favor of the child's emergence as a participant: (1) native evidence based on local theories of socialization, and (2) ethnographic evidence based on a microanal…
Exploration in the acquisition of geocentric location by Tzotzil children
L'A. decrit le systeme de description locative geocentrique en tzotzil. Il examine le developpement de ce systeme en comparant son utilisation chez des adultes et des enfants. Ce systeme semble etre acquis aux environs de 4,6 ans
