A Narrative Inquiry of Relational Conflict Navigation for East Asian American Women
This qualitative study sought to understand how East Asian American women navigate conflict in their important relationships; what roles culture, gender, and race play in this navigation; and their impact on their experience of authenticity. Eleven East Asian American women in emerging adulthood provided narratives about conflict navigation and authenticity through semi-structured interviews. Participants’ narratives were analyzed using critical …
Visibility for Indigenous Students and Their Languages
There is an increasing number of children in the U.S. classified as English Learners (ELs). Accurately identifying and supporting ELs in their academic settings entails understanding their non-English language experiences. This study presents findings from language reporting practices from seven U.S. states by examining how states account for the linguistic diversity of Indigenous Mesoamerican languages. Our findings reveal varied state approache…
Encuesta internacional de esfuerzos de revitalización
En el siglo XXI ha habido un fuerte aumento en el número de esfuerzos de revitalización lingüística en el mundo. La Encuesta internacional de esfuerzos de revitalización documentó 245 esfuerzos en apoyo a 208 lenguas. La encuesta siguió un modelo mixto de recolección de datos, incluyó 30 preguntas, se administró por internet en siete lenguas, y dio como resultado un banco de 40 000 datos. Este estudio da continuidad a los datos globales que se pu…
Xneza diidxazá
En este trabajo se presenta un relato contemporáneo titulado Teria, escrito por Víctor Cata en diidxazá, lengua zapoteca de la planicie costera del sureste de Oaxaca. Teria es la narración de una práctica ritual mortuoria de los zapotecos del Istmo en la cual se aprecia la continuidad y la preocupación de los zapotecos por escribir y narrar en su propio idioma. A través de este texto contemporáneo se muestran algunos de los retos que enfrenta la …
Verb Classes in Juchitán Zapotec
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of verb classes in Juchitán Zapotec, an Otomanguean language belonging to the Zapotec branch of Zapotecan, following the four-class system of verbal classification laid out in earlier work by Terrence Kaufman. Our analysis, based on a thorough review of over two thousand Juchitán Zapotec verbs, confirms the applicability of the four-class system to Juchitán Zapotec data, improving over previous analyse…
The Contact Diffusion of Linguistic Practices
We examine the extent to which practices of language use may be diffused through language contact and areally shared, using data on spatial reference frame use by speakers of eight indigenous languages from in and around the Mesoamerican linguistic area and three varieties of Spanish. Regression models show that the frequency of L 2-Spanish use by speakers of the indigenous languages predicts the use of relative reference frames in the L 1 even w…
Determinants of language reproduction and shift in a transnational community
This study centers on the impact of migration on the vitality of San Lucas Quiavini Zapotec (SLQZ) spoken in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, Mexico. The data show (a) that children in Los Angeles, whether US- or Mexican-born, are not growing up as active SLQZ speakers and (b) that given sustained travel between the two communities, language use in Los Angeles is replicated in San Lucas, thereby introducing Spanish and English into otherwise Zapote…

The Unexpected Role of Schooling and Bilingualism in Language Maintenance within the San Lucas Quiaviní Zapotec Community in Los Angeles
This article analyzes language shift from San Lucas Quiaviní Zapotec to Spanish among adults in Los Angeles, California, and a subsequent language shift reversal. These patterns correlate with schooling in San Lucas. Initially, established migrants assisted Zapotec-monolingual newcomers in learning Spanish by shifting to it in the home domain. This occurred between close relatives such as spouses, parents and their children, and siblings. As Span…
