This work is a comprehensive description of the grammar of Sierra
Popoluca, a Mixe-Zoquean language spoken by approximately 28,000
people in Veracruz, Mexico. This detailed description and analysis
includes an overview of the language and its family, its
typological features and its phonology. The grammar also provides
an overview of the word classes, including verbs, nouns, relational
nouns/postpositions, adjectives, adverbs, numbers, and formative
types. The bulk of this grammar is devoted to the morphosyntax of
Sierra Popoluca, including nouns and nominal morphology, verbs and
verbal morphology, and the mechanisms for expressing tense, aspect,
mood, and modality. An agglutinating, polysynthetic, head-marking
language with ergative-absolutive alignment and sensitivity to
animacy and saliency hierarchies, Sierra Popoluca has a number of
strategies to form complex predicates, which include verb
serialization, noun incorporation, and dependent verb
constructions. These complex predicate formation strategies and
sentence-level syntax are also described here. A compilation of
interlinearized texts appears in the appendix. There is no
competing work that provides the breadth and depth of coverage of
the Sierra Popoluca grammar.
