The Mayan Languages presents a comprehensive survey of the language
family associated with the Classic Mayan civilization (AD 200-900),
a family whose individual languages are still spoken today by at
least six million indigenous Maya in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and
Honduras. This unique resource is an ideal reference for advanced
undergraduate and postgraduate students of Mayan languages and
linguistics. Written by a team of experts in the field, The Mayan
Languages presents in-depth accounts of the linguistic features
that characterize the thirty-one languages of the family, their
historical evolution, and the social context in which they are
spoken. The Mayan Languages: provides detailed grammatical sketches
of approximately a third of the Mayan languages, representing most
of the branches of the family; includes a section on the historical
development of the family, as well as an entirely new sketch of the
grammar of "Classic Maya" as represented in the hieroglyphic
script; provides detailed state-of-the-art discussions of the
principal advances in grammatical analysis of Mayan languages;
includes ample discussion of the use of the languages in social,
conversational, and poetic contexts. Consisting of topical chapters
on the history, sociolinguistics, phonology, morphology, syntax,
semantics, discourse structure, and acquisition of the Mayan
languages, this book will be a resource for researchers and other
readers with an interest in historical linguistics, linguistic
anthropology, language acquisition, and linguistic typology.
