Nahuatl and its Speakers across Time
A Multidisciplinary Account of Language Contact, Change, and Continuity
AvJustyna Olko,John Sullivanm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 458 kr
Kommande
Drawing on an extensive source base spanning five hundred years, from the first half of the sixteenth century to the present, this is the first comprehensive, data-driven study of both historical and modern varieties of Nahuatl, a major Indigenous language spoken in North America. Employing multidisciplinary methods and a diachronic perspective, it identifies the key social, cultural, and linguistic factors that have interacted to motivate language change and the evolution of the social and cultural ecologies of the Indigenous communities in today's multilingual and multiethnic Mexico. It provides a critical enrichment of Western theories of contact-induced language change, continuity, acculturation, and resilience, paving the way for new relational methods of studying these complex phenomena across time and space. It is essential reading for researchers in contact linguistics, historical and synchronic sociolinguistics, Hispanic and Latin American studies, and linguistic typology. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Living with Nature, Cherishing Language
Indigenous Knowledges in the Americas Through History
AvJustyna Olko,Cynthia Radding
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
546 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This open access book explores the deep connections between environment, language, and cultural integrity, with a focus on Indigenous peoples from early modern times to the present. It illustrates the close integration of nature and culture through historical processes of environmental change in North, Central, and South America and the nurturing of local knowledge through ancestral languages and oral traditions. This volume fills a unique space by bringing together the issues of environment, language and cultural integrity in Latin American historical and cultural spheres. It explores the reciprocal and necessary relations between language/culture and environment; how they can lead to sustainable practices; how environmental knowledge and sustainable practices toward the environment are reflected in local languages, local sources and local socio-cultural practices. The book combines interdisciplinary methods and initiates a dialogue among scientifically trained scholars and local communities to compare their perspectives on well-being in remote and recent historical periods and it will be of interest to students and scholars in fields including sociolinguistics, (ethno)history, linguistic anthropology, cultural studies and cultural anthropology, environmental studies and Indigenous/minority studies.

Loans in Colonial and Modern Nahuatl
A Contextual Dictionary

The dictionary expands on the original idea of Karttunen and Lockhart to map the usage of loans in Nahuatl, by using a much larger and diversified corpus of sources, and by including contextual use, missing in earlier studies. Most importantly, these sources enrich the colonial corpus with modern data – significantly expanding on our knowledge on language continuity and change.
Insignia of Rank in the Nahua World
From the Fifteenth to the Seventeenth Century
AvJustyna Olko
Inbunden, Engelska, 2014
1 008 kr
Tillfälligt slut
This significant work reconstructs the repertory of insignia of rank and the contexts and symbolic meanings of their use, along with their original terminology, among the Nahuatl-speaking communities of Mesoamerica from the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries. Attributes of rank carried profound symbolic meaning, encoding subtle messages about political and social status, ethnic and gender identity, regional origin, individual and community history, and claims to privilege.Olko engages with and builds upon extensive worldwide scholarship and skillfully illuminates this complex topic, creating a vital contribution to the fields of pre-Columbian and colonial Mexican studies. It is the first book to integrate pre- and post-contact perspectives, uniting concepts and epochs usually studied separately. A wealth of illustrations accompanies the contextual analysis and provides essential depth to this critical work. Insignia of Rank in the Nahua World substantially expands and elaborates on the themes of Olko's Turquoise Diadems and Staffs of Office, originally published in Poland and never released in North America.
Dialogue with Europe, Dialogue with the Past
Colonial Nahua and Quechua Elites in Their Own Words
AvJustyna Olko,John Sullivanm. fl.
Häftad, Engelska, 2018
519 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Dialogue with Europe, Dialogue with the Past is a critical, annotated anthology of indigenous-authored texts, including the Nahua, Quechua, and Spanish originals, through which native peoples and Spaniards were able to convey their own perspectives on Spanish colonial order. It is the first volume to bring together native testimonies from two different areas of Spanish expansion in the Americas to examine comparatively these geographically and culturally distant realities of indigenous elites in the colonial period. In each chapter a particular document is transcribed exactly as it appears in the original manuscript or colonial printed document, with the editor placing it in historical context and considering the degree of European influence. These texts show the nobility through documents they themselves produced or caused to be produced—such as wills, land deeds, and petitions—and prioritize indigenous ways of expression, perspectives, and concepts. Together, the chapters demonstrate that native elites were independent actors as well as agents of social change and indigenous sustainability in colonial society. Additionally, the volume diversifies the commonly homogenous term “cacique” and recognizes the differences in elites throughout Mesoamerica and the Andes. Showcasing important and varied colonial genres of indigenous writing, Dialogue with Europe, Dialogue with the Past reveals some of the realities, needs, strategies, behaviors, and attitudes associated with the lives of the elites. Each document and its accompanying commentary provide additional insight into how the nobility negotiated everyday life. The book will be of great interest to students and researchers of Mesoamerican and Andean history, as well as those interested in indigenous colonial societies in the Spanish Empire.
