Translingualism, Translation and Caribbean Poetry
Abrazar el multilingüismo
El multilingüismo es fundamental al hablar de la riqueza cultural de la sociedad; sin embargo, ha sido sistemáticamente marginado por las ideologías monolingües que descienden del colonialismo. Además, este imperialismo lingüístico se extiende también a diversas áreas de estudio, lo cual devela la ideología dominante en el mundo académico. Esta situación, en la que el monolingüismo se posiciona como el paradigma dominante en las distintas socieda…

On language regimes in the Americas
In this article several heteroglossic expressions of language regimes will be presented. To this end, I will succinctly discuss a series of (socio) linguistic issues related to the use of one of the major Indigenous languages in Mexico - namely, Mexicano (Nahuatl) - in its political, ideological and pragmatic arenas. This includes a consideration of Mexicano political economies, entailing a dispute over the politics of representation of Mexicano …
Na’at le ba’ala’ paalen Na’at le ba’ala’ paalen. Adivina esta cosa ninio. La experiencia de revitalización, mantenimiento y desarrollo lingüístico y cultural en México con énfasis en el maya yucateco
It is presumed that in a few generations most of the languages of the world will become only a memory, and that the replacement of these native languages and cultures will definitely upset the sociocultural balance, values and peaceful coexistence of these groups. Indigenous communities have developed different responses to resist such replacement; being a prominent example the Mayan people of the Yucatán Peninsula, fertile land known for its cul…
Speaking of endangered languages

Ritual and conversational discourse in Nahuatl
Linked to a series of sociolinguistic differentials (e.g. power, cultural, conversational) materialized in specific linguistic phenomena, this paper analyzes a couple of discourse markers in Nahuatl linguistics; namely, the presence/absence of epenthetic /i/, its metathesis, and the marked use of pronominal prefixes. All these resources indexicalize different discourse genres and types of interaction together with different social positions in ri…
Keeping the fire alive
A decade ago innovative efforts were undertaken by a group of native and non-native professionals to safeguard and promote the cultural and linguistic heritage of a number of indigenous groups in Mexico. The initial focus was directed to the Nahua people, dwelling in the Balsas river basin in the state of Guerrero, Mexico. In this region roughly 40 thousand people still speak Mexicano as their native tongue. This article reviews the results and o…
New Perspectives on Endangered Languages
Understanding sociolinguistics as a theoretical and methodological framework hopefully could attempt to promote change and social development in human communities. Yet it still presents important political, epistemological, methodological and theoretical challenges. A sociolinguistics of development, in which the revitalization of linguistic communities is the priority, opens new perspectives for the emerging field of linguistic documentation, in…
Título Ausente
This chapter examines the complex interplay of ergativity and nominativity in Kuikuro, a Carib language spoken in Brazil, and compares it with other Carib languages. Franchetto analyzes the morphosyntactic alignment patterns in these languages, focusing on the distribution of case marking and verb agreement. She argues that while Kuikuro exhibits a predominantly ergative-absolutive system in its morphology, certain syntactic constructions reveal …

Early and contemporary Nahuatl texts in sociolinguistic perspective
This paper will present a series of illustrations at different levels of sociolinguistic analysis, including phono-morphological as well as semantic materials stemming from work in progress on the investigation of Nahuatl linguistic ideologies in historical as well as in a contemporary perspective. For this aim, selected Nahuatl texts pertaining to so called Classical Nahuatl (CN), early colonial Nahuatl documents as well as the contemporary use …

Al fin que ya los cueros no van a correr
This article analyzes the specific pragmatics of an extremely asymmetrical example of market interaction between Spanish-speaking middlemen Mestizos and Hñahñu (Otomi) occasional sellers in the market of Ixmiquilpan, in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico, where Hñahñu is still spoken. The fine indications of interpersonal cross-cultural conflict found in the transcript (e.g., duration of turns, varied use of indexical terms by buyers to address sellers…
