Vowel Perception in Hñäñho Heritage Speakers
Hñäñho is an endangered Indigenous language spoken in Central Mexico, with most native speakers being Spanish-dominant heritage speakers. This study examined the extent to which Hñäñho heritage speakers ( HHS ) retain perceptual sensitivity to the vowel contrasts /a–ɔ/ and /o–ɔ/ in their heritage language. Behavioral results from AXB categorical discrimination tasks showed similar perception patterns for Hñäñho vowels in 12 HHS and 12 monolingual…
Strategies Employed by Mexican Secondary School Students When Facing Unfamiliar Academic Vocabulary
This article examines the strategies employed by Mexican secondary school students to understand unfamiliar academic vocabulary and the relationship between these strategies and their reading proficiency. Within the broader Latin American context—where low reading comprehension levels remain prevalent—the study focused on a sample of 40 first-year secondary students, categorized according to their reading level. Using two instruments, the researc…
El procesamiento de metáforas en niños de primaria
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo reportar el comportamiento del componente N400 en niños hispanohablantes de desarrollo típico que decodifican oraciones metafóricas conceptuales ontológicas en comparación con oraciones literales, para determinar si existen diferencias entre el procesamiento de ambos tipos de estímulos. Se empleó la técnica electrofisiológica de potenciales relacionados con eventos (PREs), que permite dar cuenta de la actividad ce…
Metapragmatic reflections of adolescents on gender in ironic interactions
Introduction While verbal irony is a pragmatic skill that plays a very important role in social interactions, its development has not been sufficiently studied, especially in the context of the Spanish language. This research aims to generate a deeper understanding of the development of irony, specifically among Mexican adolescents. One of the pragmatic aspects identified as an important factor to consider in the comprehension and production of v…
The vowel system of Santiago Mexquititlán Otomi (Hñäñho)
The present study provides an acoustic description of the vowel system of Santiago Mexquititlán Otomi (Hñäñho), an endangered and understudied Oto-Manguean language variety spoken in central Mexico. The goal of this production study was to determine whether the phonemic contrasts between Hñäñho vowels, as previously described impressionistically, are maintained in the acoustic realizations of a group of relatively balanced bilingual native speake…
