Colonial Valley Zapotec (CVZ) refers to the language attested in a set of documents written in Oaxaca, Mexico, during the colonial period (1550–1810). In this paper I discuss the four primary conjunction strategies attested in CVZ documents: chela, huanee, =la, and asyndetic conjunction. These conjunction strategies are used interchangeably in CVZ throughout a wide time frame and geographic area. In some passages, a scribe alternates between different conjunction strategies to emphasize subgroupings within the construction. To analyze these examples, I introduce a theory of localized sensitivity, an expansion of the current typology of conjunction
