This book includes six studies on the acquisition of single
Mesoamerican indigenous languages, (Huichol, Zapotec, and the Mayan
languages Ch'ol, Tzeltal, K'iche', and Yukatek); and a
crosslinguistic study of five Mayan languages (K'anjob'al, K'iche',
Tzeltal, Tzotzil, and Yukatek). Three topics are theoretically and
methodologically discussed and empirically demonstrated: with
respect to ergativity, the ergative-absolutive cross-referencing
pattern on the morphological level, noun-verb distinction and the
acquisition of body-part locatives in the early lexicon, and the
role of semantic properties and cultural context in language
acquisition and socialization. This book makes important claims
regarding the methodology of cross-linguistic studies as well as
the results of these studies and the comparative method used in the
book (structural and discursive factors in language acquisition,
cross-linguistic relationships and variation).
