Anohebasisiro Nimanibota / We Want to Talk to the Honored One
In 1688, five Timucua Native chiefs wrote a brief letter welcoming the new Spanish governor to La Florida, or so the accompanying Spanish translation of the letter suggests. The original Timucua words tell another story. Combining two methodologies, linguistic anthropology and history, we seek to offer more than a new translation of a neglected seventeenth-century Native-language text. First, we examine the ways in which the Timucua letter-writer…
The Emergence of Accusative Case in Copala Triqui
This paper argues that the noun ‘body’, the accusative particle, and dative preposition man are synchronically three different parts of speech in modern Copala Triqui. However, in earlier recorded Copala Triqui (from about 1965-75), we find somewhat different grammatical patterns. In earlier Copala Triqui, the accusative particle and dative preposition man were not yet distinct. Thus, a distinct accusative case particle appears to have emerged ou…
Timucua Hand Use
At the time of Spanish contact, the Timucua were the original people of northern central Florida. Granberry (1996) claimed in a provocative article that Timucua constitutes an exception to the universal or near-universal property of preference for the right hand, and showed a preference for the left hand instead. This article critically examines Granberry's argument, and shows that there is no good linguistic evidence to support left-hand prefere…
Ticha
There are hundreds of alphabetic texts in Zapotec languages dating back to the 16th century. Today, however, Zapotec speakers are generally unable to read these texts, due to lack of access to the texts and an unfamiliarity with the orthographic practices. Moreover, significant changes have taken place in the grammar in the intervening centuries. This results in a situation where Zapotec people may not have access to history in their own language…
Writing Timucua
This paper offers a reexamination of the Timucua-Spanish relations in colonial Florida, culminating in the Timucua uprising of 1656. Combining our two specialties, linguistic anthropology and history, this paper explores the few Timucua religious materials available, which are the oldest extant Native American texts north of Mexico. Examining the content of these texts (the subject matter, the language, and its arguments) as well as the context i…
The Historical Development of the Progressive Aspect in Central Zapotec
The Central Zapotec languages share the innovation of a progressive aspect prefix in /ka-/ which contrasts with a habitual aspect /r-/, which is the reflex of a Proto-Zapotec imperfective prefix */tyi-/. Early instances of this innovative progressive aspect prefix can be found in colonial Zapotec texts from the sixteenth century, and the geographic dispersion of Central Zapotec languages with this form argues that the innovation must date to some…
A New Passive in Kaqchikel
This paper contrasts two passives in Kaqchikel, a Mayan language spoken in Guatemala. The first passive, which we label the ‘standard passive’ is already well-attested in the literature. However, the second passive, which we label the ‘ki-passive’, has not been previously described. A verb in the ki-passive shows active morphology, with ergative agreement for a third person plural subject, as would be appropriate for a verb with an impersonal ‘th…
