Providers' Shift to Telerehabilitation at the U.S. Veterans Health Administration During Covid-19: Practical Applications
Telerehabilitation provides Veteran patients with necessary rehabilitation treatment. It enhances care continuity and reduces travel time for Veterans who face long distances to receive care at a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) medical facility. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a sudden shift to telehealth–including telerehabilitation, where a paucity of data-driven guidelines exist that are specific to the practicalities enta…
Stance
In this entry I examine the meaning, conceptual determinations, and analytic roles of “stance.” Stance is the means of indicating subjective orientations and evaluations of “states of affairs,” including individual subjects and objects. First, I describe various kinds of stance based on the kinds of evaluations they entail: epistemic (ontological status), evidential (speaker commitment and evidence), and deontic (moral obligation). I illustrate e…
Multidimensionality of the PROMIS self-efficacy measure for managing chronic conditions
Comparative study of PROMISR self-efficacy for managing chronic conditions across chronic neurologic disorders
Ethnicity, history and standard Ixhil (Ixil) Mayan
The Labyrinth of Diversity
In order to be as inclusive as possible, I chose an ecumenical definition of Mayan sociolinguistics: the study of the interrelationship between language variation and social life among the Maya. From this vantage point, the literature is substantial, although uneven in quality, theoretical framework and regional focus.
Linking existing instruments to develop a continuum of care measure: Accuracy comparison using function-related group classification
Validation of the PROMIS® measures of self-efficacy for managing chronic conditions

Bill Gates speaks K'ichee'! The corporatization of linguistic revitalization in Guatemala
Language and Ethnicity among the K'ichee' Maya
This book explores the articulation between “accent ” and ethnic identification in K’ichee’, a Mayan language spoken by more than one million people in the western highlands of Guatemala. Based on years of ethnographic work, it is the first anthropological examination of the social meaning of dialectal difference in any Mayan language. Romero deconstructs essentialist perspectives on ethnicity in Mesoamerica and argues that ethnic identification …
The emergence of negative concord in Santa María Chiquimula K'ichee’ (Mayan): A variationist perspective
This paper is a quantitative study of the emergence of negative concord in Santa María Chiquimula K'ichee’, apparently the only known case of negative concord in the Mayan stock. It is the latest development in a series of recent changes in the syntax of negative clauses in K'ichee’ (Romero, 2012). Using apparent time and comparative cross-dialectal data, I show that negative concord in this variety is a change in progress that started no earlier…
Language, Catechisms, and Mesoamerican Lords in Highland Guatemala: Addressing "God" After the Spanish Conquest
The textual sources of indigenous Christianities in Guatemala embody a complex articulation of native thought, European language ideologies, and the diachronic development of the Christianization of different areas of Mesoamerica. The evangelization of the K'iche' became a model for the construction of pastoral Q'eqchi'. In contrast, the evangelization of the Pipil demanded substantial modifications of Mexican Nahuatl doctrinal language. Mutual i…

Grammar, Dialectal Variation, and Honorific Registers in Nahuatl in Seventeenth-Century Guatemala
This article examines honorific registers in Central Mexican and Guatemalan varieties of Nahuatl in seventeenth-century Guatemala, highlighting the importance of sociolinguistic methods for the dialectology of Mesoamerican languages. A comparative study of two pastoral texts reveals that the differences between the honorific registers of the Nahuatl varieties were quantitative rather than categorical: the structure of honorifics is the same (for …
Nahuatl and Pipil in Colonial Guatemala: A Central American Counterpoint
Nahuatl has often been described as a lingua franca in colonial Central America, but this conclusion has rested on a narrow range of Spanish and Nahuatl-language documents. In this article we broaden the evidentiary base, analyzing a corpus of forty-six Nahuatl documents spanning the years 1549–1666 from Central America. Most of these documents date from the turn of the sixteenth century and are in the Central American Nahuatl dialect of Pipil. S…
A Maya Version of Jespersen's Cycle: The Diachronic Evolution of Negative Markers in K'iche' Maya
This article is a quantitative study of the diachronic evolution of negation in K'iche' Maya. The latter can be summarized as a version of Jespersen's Cycle in which a single negator anteceding the predicate head (NO1) was replaced by a counterfactual marker reanalyzed as negator in post-predicate head position (NO2). The original negator was reanalyzed as an optional negative polarity item in indicative clauses without losing its independent neg…
They Don't Get Speak Our Language Right: Language Standardization, Power And Migration among the Q'eqchi' Maya
This article examines the effect of emerging vernaculars on the social diffusion and cultural roles of standardization projects in multi-dialectal migrant communities. I explore the impact of Standard Q'eqchi', a standard variety crafted by language activists, on Lowland Q'eqchi', a new vernacular variety of Q'eqchi' Mayan spoken in migrant rural communities in northwestern and northern Guatemala. Rather than being innovations, the sociolinguisti…
