Abstract
Abstract:Elders in San Juan Quiahije, Oaxaca, Mexico, have a unique command of the specialized vocabulary of landscape and associated cultural practices of Eastern Chatino. Drawing on oral evidence from Eastern Chatino, I show in this article a variety of ways in which one individual can relate to landscape. I include details of one day of documentation, highlighting my foot journey with an elder through San Juan Quiahije. The speaker related her life story, and described the physical landscape. I provide background to the language and its vitality, describe our hike, and analyze the language used.
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.
