Abstract:Research on documents composed by Maya communities during the mid-sixteenth to seventeenth centuries has been largely limited to basic transcriptions, translations, and ethnohistorical analysis, particularly for those whose textual contents are political in nature. This analysis focuses instead on grammatical errors in a Spanish-language título from the K'iche' Maya region of the western Guatemalan Highlands. I argue that the patterned gender and number disagreement indicates that the scribe was a native K'iche' speaker who was not fully bilingual in Spanish. This case study illustrates the sociolinguistic potential of colonial-era indigenous sources when examined from a paleographic and linguistic perspective.
摘要:对16世纪中期至17世纪玛雅社群撰写的文献的研究主要局限于基本的抄写、翻译和民族历史分析,特别是对那些文本内容具有政治性质的文献。相反,这一分析侧重于危地马拉西部高地K'iche' Maya地区的西班牙语título中的语法错误。我认为,性别和数字的模式差异表明,抄写员是母语为K'iche的人,不完全懂西班牙语的双语。这个案例研究说明了殖民时代土著资源的社会语言学潜力,当从古生物学和语言学的角度进行检查。

The Legacy of Dell Hymes: Ethnopoetics, Narrative Inequality, and Voice ed. by Paul V. Kroskrity, Anthony K. Webster (review) 《戴尔·海姆斯的遗产:民族诗学、叙事不平等和声音》,作者:保罗·v·克罗斯克里蒂、安东尼·k·韦伯斯特(书评)

Paul V. Kroskrity and Anthony K. Webster assemble a sophisticated review of the latecareer work of linguist, folklorist, and anthropologist Dell Hymes based on a joint American Anthropological Association session in 2010, a year after Hymes’s death. The commentators (Richard Bauman and Charles Briggs) and each of the eight contributors record a personal relationship to Hymes as integral to their own career trajectory and professional identity. Taken together, the papers document Hymes’s role in the emergence of Americanist anthropology and its contemporary possibilities as envisioned by his immediate successors. Each author adapts Hymes’s ethnopoetic method to their own texts, thus providing a series of specific exemplars for the intersection of ethnopoetics, narrative inequality, and voice that suggest tantalizing potential generalizations across Native American linguistic and cultural diversity. These include Robert Moore on Kiksht (Wasco-Wishram Chinookan), the language of Hymes’s own primary fieldwork, Alexander King on Koryak, M. Eleanor Nevins on Apache, Anthony Webster on Navajo, Paul Kroskrity on Mono and Yokuts, Gerald Carr and Barbara Meek on four Yukon languages, Sean O’Neill on northern California, and David Samuels on San Carlos Apache. Each paper explores culture-specific analytic problems consistent with the Americanist tradition’s emphasis on the uniqueness of local ethnographic and linguistic patterning. Moore examines four versions of “the same” Kiksht Coyote story recorded by Mrs. Lucinda Smith on different occasions to different ethnographers for different audiences and contexts. He employs the ethnopoetic formats proposed by Hymes and Dennis Tedlock, then offers a third contrapuntal model with three tiers of indentation to reflect a metadiscourse of contrasting speech event modalities: Mrs. Smith and Moore; the third person plot; direct quotation. For Mrs. Smith, these are “stories” rather than “myths”: she focuses on the moral character of Coyote. Because she never lived on the land, she does not localize her narrative on the Columbia River as male narrators do. King’s anthropological philology reworks century-old Koryak wax cylinders recorded by Waldemar Jochelson for the Jesup North Pacific Expedition alongside contemporary acoustic data. What Boas called “text-artifacts” documented linguistic structures and satisfied his scientific and political goals simultaneously by revealing the complexity of patterned creativity among so-called primitive peoples (pp. 41—42) (foreshadowing Hymes’s politics of linguistic inequality). An ethnographic custom text contrasts with an experiential performance of giving birth that produces a “somatic index” of voice and gesture in a full “storyworld” (p. 42). An activist politics is implicit in the differing contexts and narrative strategies. Building on a lineage of empiricism and relativity extending from Boas to Sapir to Hymes, Nevins emphasizes the “dialogic relations hidden in the docume
Paul V.Kroskrity和Anthony K.Webster根据2010年美国人类学协会的一次联合会议,即海姆斯去世一年后,对语言学家、民俗学家和人类学家Dell Hymes的职业生涯后期工作进行了复杂的回顾。评论员(Richard Bauman和Charles Briggs)和八位撰稿人中的每一位都记录了与Hymes的个人关系,这是他们自己职业轨迹和职业身份不可或缺的一部分。总之,这些论文记录了海姆斯在美国人类学出现中的作用,以及他的直接继任者所设想的当代可能性。每一位作者都将海姆斯的民族诗学方法应用于自己的文本,从而为民族诗学、叙事不平等和声音的交叉提供了一系列具体的例子,这些例子暗示了对美洲原住民语言和文化多样性的潜在概括。其中包括Robert Moore关于Kiksht(Wasco Wishram Chinokan),这是Hymes自己的主要田野调查语言,Alexander King关于Koryak,M.Eleanor Nevins关于Apache,Anthony Webster关于Navajo,Paul Kroskrity关于Mono和Yokuts,Gerald Carr和Barbara Meek关于育空四种语言,Sean O'Neill关于北加利福尼亚,David Samuels关于San Carlos Apache。每一篇论文都探讨了与美国传统对当地民族志和语言模式独特性的强调相一致的特定文化分析问题。Moore研究了Lucinda Smith女士在不同场合为不同的观众和背景向不同的民族志学家记录的“同一”Kiksht Coyote故事的四个版本。他采用了Hymes和Dennis Tedlock提出的民族诗歌格式,然后提供了第三个具有三层缩进的对位模型,以反映对比言语事件模式的元话语:Smith夫人和Moore;第三人称情节;直接报价。对史密斯夫人来说,这些是“故事”而不是“神话”:她关注的是狼的道德品质。因为她从未在这片土地上生活过,所以她不像男性叙事者那样将自己的叙事定位在哥伦比亚河上。金的人类学文献学将瓦尔德马尔·乔切尔森为Jesup北太平洋探险队记录的百年科里亚克蜡筒与当代声学数据一起重新制作。博厄斯所称的“文本人工制品”记录了语言结构,并通过揭示所谓原始民族中模式创造力的复杂性同时满足了他的科学和政治目标(第41-42页)(预示了海姆斯的语言不平等政治)。民族志习俗文本与分娩的体验表现形成对比,分娩在一个完整的“故事世界”中产生了声音和手势的“身体指数”(第42页)。激进主义政治隐含在不同的语境和叙事策略中。在从博厄斯到萨皮尔再到海姆斯的经验主义和相对论谱系的基础上,内文斯强调了“隐藏在美国传统文献记录中的对话关系”(第71页)。随着Nevins探索Apache社区领袖为他人说话的多种方式,言语类型的相关性有助于文本的解释。和摩尔一样,她强调在基于“正在进行的道德关系”(第100页)的即时性的对话交流经济中,“对研究人员的说服性演讲”(第94页)。

Abstract:Among rural youth in southern Cross River State, southeastern Nigeria, proverbial nicknames foreground dimensions of power relations, especially hegemonic masculinity, tell stories about past exploits, and accentuate locally relevant values that emphasize conformity to societal norms. Indexical and emblematic meanings of nicknames in the social contexts where they are given and used are investigated, as are the sources, social significance, and perception of these names with reference to Paul Leslie and James Skipper’s claim that nicknames reflect processes of social action that provide meaning and guide the transmission of cultural knowledge. Nicknames are not ordinary social emblems of identity, solidarity, and group dynamics; they also mirror cultural assumptions and reflect a wide range of value categories and moral codes in the rural space.
摘要:在尼日利亚东南部克罗斯河州南部的农村青年中,众所周知的绰号突出了权力关系的各个层面,尤其是霸权男子气概,讲述了过去的事迹,并强调了当地相关的价值观,强调遵守社会规范。参考Paul Leslie和James Skipper的说法,研究了昵称在给定和使用的社会环境中的索引和象征意义,以及这些名称的来源、社会意义和感知,即昵称反映了提供意义和指导文化知识传播的社会行动过程。昵称不是身份、团结和群体动态的普通社会象征;它们也反映了文化假设,反映了乡村空间中广泛的价值范畴和道德规范。

Miami-Illinois Word Order: Basic Constituent Order 迈阿密-伊利诺伊语序:基本组成语序
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-01-05 DOI: 10.1353/ANL.2017.0014

Abstract:Miami-Illinois is a nonconfigurational language with what is often described as free word order. Word order is not used to distinguish subjects and objects; topical information is preverbal, while nontopical or backgrounded information is postverbal. Moreover, certain other grammatical categories almost always occur preverbally, other elements usually occur postverbally, and discontinuous constituents are common. Additionally, significant variation in word order is seen among the different speakers and time periods of the language. Taken together, these facts indicate that the concept of “basic word order” as it is applied to configurational languages is not useful in describing Miami-Illinois word order.
摘要:迈阿密-伊利诺斯语是一种常被描述为自由词序的非构形语言。语序不用于区分主语和宾语;主题信息是言语前信息,而非主题信息或背景信息是言语后信息。此外,某些其他语法范畴几乎总是发生在言语前,其他成分通常发生在言语后,不连续成分很常见。此外,在不同的说话者和不同的语言时期,词序也有很大的差异。综上所述,这些事实表明,“基本词序”的概念,因为它被应用于组态语言是没有用的,以描述迈阿密-伊利诺伊语序。

From the Hood to Public Discourse: The Social Spread of African Youth Languages 从头巾到公共话语:非洲青年语言的社会传播
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-01-05 DOI: 10.1353/ANL.2017.0015
A. Hollington, Nico Nassenstein
Abstract:Urban youth language in Africa is increasingly present in various public and family contexts, rather than being limited to marginalized urban identities—new contexts associated less with resistance than with openness, unboundedness, and inclusion. This implies changes of style, exclusiveness, identity marking, and domains of usage. Analysis of Yanké in Kinshasa and Yarada K’wank’wa in Addis Ababa shows that new unbounded identities of youth language speakers are associated with more fluid and accessible communities of practice, reflecting new modes of regulating ingroup boundaries and conveying language rights to outsiders (including older people from all social strata). This accompanies new developments in speakers’ ideologies and constructions of identity.
摘要:非洲的城市青年语言越来越多地出现在各种公共和家庭环境中,而不仅仅局限于边缘化的城市身份——新的环境与其说与抵抗有关,不如说与开放、无边界和包容有关。这意味着风格、排他性、身份标记和使用领域的变化。对金沙萨的Yanké和亚的斯亚贝巴的Yarada K'wank'wa的分析表明,讲青年语言的人的新的无限制身份与更具流动性和可访问性的实践社区有关,反映了规范内部群体边界和向外来者(包括来自所有社会阶层的老年人)传达语言权利的新模式。这伴随着说话人意识形态和身份建构的新发展。

Tone and Accent in Oklahoma Cherokee by Hiroto Uchihara (review) 俄克拉何马切罗基人的语调和口音(书评)
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-10-18 DOI: 10.1353/ANL.2017.0012
M. Gordon
Book-length case studies of prosody in individual language are relatively rare. Even sparser are comprehensive treatments of prosody in American Indian languages of the type found in Hiroto Uchihara’s penetrating account of the fascinatingly complex tone and accentual system found in the Oklahoma variety of Cherokee, the lone member of the Southern Iroquoian branch of Iroquoian. Cherokee prosody has long been the subject of intense interest both among scholars of Iroquoian (and more broadly American Indian languages) and among phonologists and phoneticians due to its intricate tone system, which stands as an outlier in an Iroquoian language family characterized primarily by accentual (or stress) systems rather than tone. Uchihara’s study thus provides the perfect complement to the existing literature on the prosodic structure of the larger Northern Iroquoian branch, most thoroughly explicated in Karin Michelson’s (1988) definitive treatise. Drawing on a combination of published material, recordings made by other scholars and his own fieldwork on the language, Uchihara’s book provides a thorough account of all aspects of word-level prosody in Oklahoma Cherokee, considerably outstripping in coverage and depth the abundant but far less comprehensive literature on Cherokee prosody. Uchihara does a masterful job both of contextualizing his analysis relative to previous work and of providing enough background on the phonology and morphology of the language for the reader to appreciate the salient role of both systems in shaping the complex tonal phenomena operative in Cherokee. The first three chapters of the book introduce Cherokee segmental phonology, syllable structure, and morphology, providing an essential backdrop for the coverage of tone and accent in the remaining eight chapters. A virtue of the introductory chapter is their substantial attention to the various orthographic and transcription systems found in the literature, which are quite divergent, particularly in the sphere of tonal representations. A notable feature of the book is its use of the Cherokee data to address several broader theoretical issues, including the representation of syllable weight, the characterization of tonal processes, and metrical stress theory. The final chapter provides an excellent discussion of the position of Cherokee tone and accent within the typology of prosodic systems. Cherokee is an informative case study in the ongoing debate about prosodic taxonomy, since it not only possesses lexical tone but also provides compelling evidence for the role of metrical structure in predicting certain distributional facts about tone. These include the domain of rightward high tone spreading from pre-pronominal prefixes, which Uchihara attributes to morphologically projected iambic foot structure, and the positioning of the superhigh tone, analyzed by the author as the reflex of a leftheaded (i.e., trochaic) quantity-sensitive unbounded foot. On the other hand, the metric
对个别语言的韵律的书篇幅案例研究相对较少。在Hiroto Uchihara对俄克拉何马州切罗基族(易洛魁族中唯一的南易洛魁族分支)中发现的令人着迷的复杂音调和重音系统的深刻描述中,对美洲印第安语言中韵律的综合处理就更少了。切罗基韵律长期以来一直是易洛魁学者(以及更广泛的美洲印第安语言)和音韵学家和语音学家强烈兴趣的主题,因为它复杂的音调系统,它是易洛魁语系的一个例外,主要以重音(或重音)系统而不是音调为特征。因此,内原的研究为现有的关于更大的北易洛魁语分支的韵律结构的文献提供了完美的补充,卡琳·迈克尔逊(Karin Michelson)在1988年的权威论文中对其进行了最彻底的阐述。内原的书结合了出版的材料、其他学者的录音和他自己对该语言的田野调查,对俄克拉何马切诺基语的词级韵律的各个方面进行了全面的描述,在覆盖范围和深度上大大超过了大量但远不及切诺基语的全面文献。内原做了一项出色的工作,他将他的分析与之前的工作相结合,并提供了足够的语言音系和形态学背景,使读者能够欣赏到这两个系统在形成切罗基语中复杂的音调现象方面所起的重要作用。书的前三章介绍切诺基分段音韵学,音节结构,和形态学,提供了一个必要的背景下的语气和口音的覆盖在剩下的八章。导论一章的优点是他们对文献中发现的各种正字法和转录系统的大量关注,这些系统非常不同,特别是在音调表示领域。这本书的一个显著特点是它使用的切诺基数据来解决几个更广泛的理论问题,包括音节重量的表示,音调过程的表征,和格律重音理论。最后一章提供了一个很好的讨论切诺基音调和口音的位置在韵律系统的类型学。切罗基语是目前关于韵律分类学的争论中一个信息丰富的研究案例,因为它不仅具有词汇语调,而且为格律结构在预测声调分布方面的作用提供了令人信服的证据。其中包括前代词前缀向右扩展的高音域,内原将其归因于形态上投射的抑扬格脚结构,以及超高音的定位,作者将其分析为左头(即扬格)数量敏感的无界脚的反射。另一方面,切罗基的格律系统并不是一个规范的,因为有一些词形语法控制的词类缺乏格律结构的证据,这违反了普遍建立的观点,即重音语言中的所有(内容)词都有一个主重音(Hyman 2006)。

A notable feature of the book is its use of the Cherokee data to address several broader theoretical issues, including the representation of syllable weight, the characterization of tonal processes, and metrical stress theory. The final chapter provides an excellent discussion of the position of Cherokee tone and accent within the typology of prosodic systems. Cherokee is an informative case study in the ongoing debate about prosodic taxonomy, since it not only possesses lexical tone but also provides compelling evidence for the role of metrical structure in predicting certain distributional facts about tone. These include the domain of rightward high tone spreading from pre-pronominal prefixes, which Uchihara attributes to morphologically projected iambic foot structure, and the positioning of the superhigh tone, analyzed by the author as the reflex of a leftheaded (i.e., trochaic) quantity-sensitive unbounded foot.

Why Tséhootsooí Does Not Equal “Kit Carson Drive”: Reflections on Navajo Place Names and the Inequalities of Language 为什么Tséhootsooí不等于“基特卡森大道”:对纳瓦霍地名和语言不平等的反思

Abstract:This article reflects on the controversy in the Navajo Nation of changing the name of Kit Carson Drive to the Navajo place name Tséhootsooí. I outline the structure and use of traditional Navajo place names and then show that Navajo place names have had a renaissance in signage for shopping centers and elsewhere. I then detail the controversy over a proposal to change a street name in Fort Defiance. Place names are not neutral, but fully implicated in concerns about who has and does not have the right (and power) to name. In debates about linguistic relativity, questions of the inequalities of language need to be engaged.
摘要:本文反映了纳瓦霍民族将Kit Carson Drive的名称改为纳瓦霍地名Tséhootsooí的争议。我概述了传统纳瓦霍地名的结构和使用,然后展示了纳瓦霍地名在购物中心和其他地方的标牌上的复兴。然后,我详细介绍了关于更改德法恩斯堡街道名称的提议引发的争议。地名不是中立的,但完全涉及到谁有权(和权力)命名的问题。在关于语言相对性的辩论中,需要涉及语言不平等的问题。
