Abstract

Abstract:Drawing on an important and newly accessed early twentieth-century manuscript from the highland Lima village of San Pedro de Casta, this article explores the linguistic landscape within which the text—an internal set of irrigation ritual regulations based on Inca precepts—emerged, and offers a highly contextualized analysis of the Quechua word waqay, which features in this predominantly Spanish-language text. The term is central to Andean conceptualizations of landscape, spirituality, and communication. In the local context, agro-pastoral production and community well-being hinge on the deliverance of this word in the annual canal-cleaning ritual.

瓦基:一份来自Huarochirí(秘鲁)的20世纪西班牙手稿中关于水和安第斯世界的文字

摘要：本文借鉴了20世纪初一份来自利马高地圣佩德罗·德·卡斯塔村的重要且新获得的手稿，探讨了文本——一套基于印加戒律的内部灌溉仪式规则——出现的语言景观，并对克丘亚语单词waqay进行了高度语境化的分析，这在这个以西班牙语为主的文本中具有特色。这个词是安第斯景观、精神和交流概念的核心。在当地，农牧业生产和社区福祉取决于在每年的运河清洁仪式中这个词的传递。

期刊介绍： Anthropological Linguistics, a quarterly journal founded in 1959, provides a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the editors welcome articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification.
