Abstract:
Abstract In Teotitlán Zapotec, some, but not all, verbs undergo stem alternation in the 1st person forms, in addition to the attachment of the pronominal enclitics that encode the subject argument. We argue that stem alternation and pronominal cliticization are independent from one another and that each encodes different grammatical features, agent and subject, respectively. The phenomenon discussed in this paper is peculiar in two respects. First, stem alternation as the exponent of the agent is cross-linguistically rare (although it is common within the Otomanguean languages). Furthermore, the category of agentivity has not been studied in detail in Zapotecan languages, but this paper shows the pervasiveness of agentivity in the Teotitlán Zapotec grammar.

Abstract:
AbstractAlthough an increasing number of sociolinguistic researchers consider functions of voice qualities as stylistic features, few studies consider cases where voice qualities serve as the primary signs of speech registers. This article addresses this gap through the presentation of a case study of Lachixío Zapotec speech registers indexed though falsetto, breathy, creaky, modal, and whispered voice qualities. I describe the system of contrastive speech registers in Lachixío Zapotec and then track a speaker on a single evening where she switches between three of these registers. Analyzing line-by-line conversational structure I show both obligatory and creative shifts between registers that co-occur with shifts in the participant structures of the situated social interactions. I then examine similar uses of voice qualities in other Zapotec languages and in the two unrelated language families Nahuatl and Mayan to suggest the possibility that such voice registers are a feature of the Mesoamerican culture area.

Abstract:
Aquí presentamos la lengua y el contenido de un testamento escrito a más tardar en 1675 perteneciente a una mujer zapoteca llamada Sebastiana de Mendoza. Ofrecemos el contexto histórico para entender cómo y por qué fue escrito y preservado el documento, y resumimos lo que el manuscrito nos dice sobre la testamentaria. Hacemos observaciones sobre el léxico, la estructura y las convenciones del habla del zapoteco original y proveemos tanto un análisis morfológico como una traducción del texto zapoteco. Al tratarse de la primera publicación con análisis morfológico y la traducción al inglés de un documento completo en lengua zapoteca de la época colonial mexicana, el manuscrito que aquí presentamos no sólo nos beneficia para entender cómo se usaba el zapoteco en ese periodo, sino que también es relevante para estudio de lenguas zapotecas vivas, habladas hoy en día por aproximadamente 400 000 personas principalmente en Oaxaca.

Abstract:
AbstractEpigraphic and functional comparisons of carved monuments in highland and coastal Oaxaca are used to address questions concerning (1) the origin and development of writing in southwestern Mesoamerica, (2) macroregional interactions, and (3) past linguistic affiliations of coastal groups. Given the scarcity of known inscriptions, particularly along the littoral of Guerrero and Oaxaca, it is concluded that the writing system in the coast is derived from central (Zapotec) Oaxaca and that the littoral did not play a role in the origins of writing in Mesoamerica. Since most of the inscribed material presently available from the coast dates between a.d. 600 and 900, relatively few traces of interregional contacts can be detected by means of epigraphy. Discernible interactions include contact with post-Teotihuacan sites in the central highlands via Guerrero; central Oaxaca through intermediate regions like Sola de Vega and Miahuatlan; and Tabasco, the latter apparently the result of migrations. The close epigraphic similarities between the coast and central Oaxaca suggest that groups speaking Chatino and other languages of the Zapotecan family had a wider distribution along the littoral in former times.

A new species of Magnolia from Sierra de Juárez, Oaxaca, Mexico, is described and illustrated. Magnolia yajlachhi belongs to sect. Talauma, subsect. Talauma, locally known as “yajlachhi” (flower of the heart, in Zapotec). It shares with M. lacandonica the subglobose mature fruit and the entirely white petals, but differs from the latter in having fewer carpels and stamens; more lateral leaf veins per side; and seeds orange vs. scarlet-red. It shares with M. zoquepopolucae the subglobose fruit but differs from the latter in having fewer carpels and stamens; petals entirely white vs. purplish in the upper portion (¾); more lateral leaf-veins per side; and seeds orange vs. scarlet-red. It shares with M. mexicana a similar number of carpels and stamens but it differs from the latter in having subglobose fruits to widely ovoid-depressed vs. widely ellipsoid; more leaf-veins per side; petals entirely white vs. adaxially purplish in the upper portion (¾); and seeds orange vs. scarlet-red. A key to Mexican species of sect. Talauma subsect. Talauma is provided. This species was assessed as Critically Endangered (CR). The species has a ceremonial and medicinal, conservation and nurse tree relevance in the Zapotecan culture.

En este trabajo se presenta un relato contemporáneo titulado Teria, escrito por Víctor Cata en diidxazá, lengua zapoteca de la planicie costera del sureste de Oaxaca. Teria es la narración de una práctica ritual mortuoria de los zapotecos del Istmo en la cual se aprecia la continuidad y la preocupación de los zapotecos por escribir y narrar en su propio idioma. A través de este texto contemporáneo se muestran algunos de los retos que enfrenta la implementación del Alfabeto Popular para la escritura del Zapoteco del Istmo que, a pesar de tener una tradición larga de uso desde 1956, sigue presentando desafíos para quienes lo escriben y enseñan. Dichos retos están relacionados con la definición mismade lo que constituye una palabra en diidxazá. Este trabajo considera algunos criterios que pudieran permitir la homologación de la constitución de la palabra ortográfica —es decir de la unidad escrita entre dos espacios— para efectos de facilitar la creación literaria contemporánea en diidxazá y la difusión de textos como Teria. Para este propósito, se define el concepto de palabra ortográfica enconjunto con los conceptos de palabra fonológica y palabra gramatical.

Abstract:
Rutile (TiO2) is a heavy mineral, commonly found as accessory in many lithologies, such as basic igneous rocks, high-grade metamorphic units, as well as a detritus in sedimentary clastic rocks. Its chemical composition is sensitive to the crystallization environment, allowing a characterization of either metabasic or metasedimentary protoliths in metamorphic rocks. Thanks to the capability to accept U in its crystalline network, at least in metasedimentary, high-grade protoliths, rutile can be dated by U-Pb geochronology. Furthermore, its closure temperature of ca. 600 °C for the U-Pb system makes rutile a suitable chronometer, complementary to zircon, to unravel provenance and exhumation paths in both sedimentary siliciclastic cover and basement units. Besides, the Zr-in thermometer allows for a very precise calculation of the rutile crystallization temperature.
 In the example case presented here, focused on granulite facies units of the Grenvillian Oaxacan Complex (OC), rutile crystallisation took place in the range 808–873 °C. Data for different localities indicate that cooling and exhumation after the Zapotecan granulite facies event (ca. 990 Ma) was heterogeneous among the different tectonic slices that constitute the OC. Cooling occurred in the central sector (Nochixtlán-Oaxaca) right after the granulite peak, with fast cooling rates of ca. 40 °C/Ma. To the north and south, the cooling to ca. 600 °C was much slower, with calculated cooling rates of ca. 3 °C/Ma for the northern OC outcrops in Coatepec (Puebla) to ca. 6 °C/Ma south of Ejutla (Oaxaca). This can be related to a combination of factors, such as an early collapse of some sectors of the orogen, a change of conditions in the subducing plate, or more in general, to a sudden change in the geodynamic conditions during the Zapotecan orogeny and Amazonia-Baltica amalgamation.
 This application example to some metasedimentary lithologies belonging to the OC demonstrates how the exhumation after the Zapotecan granulite facies event (ca. 990 Ma) was heterogeneous among the different tectonic slices that compose the OC, having occurred in the central sector (Nochixtlán-Oaxaca) right after the granulite peak, with fast cooling rates of ca. 40 ºC/M.y., whereas to the North and South the cooling to ca. 600 ºC was much slower, with calculated cooling rates of ca. 3 ºC/M.y. (north, OC outcrops in Coatepec, Puebla) to ca. 5.5 ºC/M.y. south of Ejutla (Oaxaca). This can be related to a combination of factors, such as an early collapse of some sectors of the orogen, change of conditions in the subjecting plate, or more in general, to a sudden change in the geodynamic conditions during the early stages of the Rodinia amalgamation.
 This example sharply illustrates the advantage of employing microanalytical techniques, able to resolve restricted crystal-domain chemical variations, to obtain accurate and precise temperature and age values. Furthermore, it is paramount to combine several mineral species with different closure temperatures, and collected in well-defined, recognized tectonic slices, to understand their behavior and construct meaningful cooling curves through geologic time, capable to better characterize and interpret their tectonic evolution.

El desarrollo de los proyectos eólicos en los últimos años en el Istmo de Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, han impactado en las formas socioculturales de las comunidades indígenas zapotecas de la región. Como respuesta a estos proyectos eólicos han surgido movimientos sociales indígenas zapotecas que se oponen a las empresas privadas que se han visto beneficiadas por la política energética impulsadas por el Estado mexicano. Con base en la literatura sobre la teoría crítica del discurso y los movimientos sociales, analizamos el discurso de resistencia del movimiento social indígena zapoteca de la Asamblea Popular del Pueblo Juchiteco (APPJ) del municipio de Juchitán de Zaragoza, por ser un caso paradigmático de la resistencia a la política pública eólica en el Istmo de Tehuantepec, Oaxaca.

Resumen Este artículo es un acercamiento a la descripción de la categoría lingüística Adjetivo en dos fuentes coloniales: el Arte del idioma zapoteco y el Vocabulario en lengua çapoteca ambas escritas por Fray Juan de Córdova, O.P. (1501–1595) en 1578. A partir de la descripción lingüística de esta categoría propuesta por Juan de Córdova y de la situación de las lenguas zapotecas actuales, sobre todo el zapoteco de Santa Ana del Valle (lengua hablada en el estado de Oaxaca, México), la autora mostrará que la categoría adjetivo que Juan de Córdova describe en su obra, aún no estaba conformada. Del mismo modo, se mostrará que en dos textos coloniales (el testamento de Gabriel Luis de1610 y el de Juan López de 1618), las palabras que Córdova llama adjetivos son poco frecuentes y su uso como tales se debe a una traducción literal del español y no propiamente a las características gramaticales del zapoteco de la época. Al final del texto, la autora compara los adjetivos del zapoteco contemporáneo con las entradas del Vocabulario de Córdova para mostrar que, en la mayoría de los casos, los adjetivos actuales tienen un verbo correspondiente en el zapoteco colonial.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper translates and analyzes references to eclipses in two seventeenth-century Zapotec calendrical booklets.1These booklets are part of a corpus of 106 separate calendrical texts and four collections of ritual songs that were turned over to ecclesiastical authorities in 1704 and 1705 as part of an ambitious campaign against traditional indigenous ritual practices conducted in the province of Villa Alta in northern Oaxaca. Both of these booklets contain a complete day-by-day representation of the Zapotec 260-day divinatory calendar, with annotations in Zapotec alongside many of these entries. Two such annotations in Booklet 81 explicitly record the occurrences of solar and lunar eclipses visible in the Sierra Zapoteca in 1691 and 1693. Annotations in Booklet 63 do not mention eclipses but allude to them by recording the names and Gregorian dates of Christian feasts celebrated on the dates of eclipses in 1686 and 1690; such allusions are otherwise found mainly with the Zapotec dates of the beginnings or ends of significant Zapotec calendrical cycles—the 260-day calendar itself or its 65-day subdivisions, and the start of the Zapotec 365-day year—and so reflect a systematic pattern of engagement by at least one Zapotec calendar specialist with indigenous ritual knowledge and practices. Our analysis suggests that colonial Zapotec calendar specialists monitored and perhaps also anticipated the occurrence of eclipses in terms of the patterns of eclipse recurrence in particular parts of the divinatory calendar.

La importancia histórica del texto se encuentra en su fuerte relación con el famoso Lienzo de Guevea, uno de los documentos pictográficos zapotecos más estudiados. Esta relación hace posible un análisis comparativo entre el texto alfabético y el pictórico, que tienen fuertes semejanzas, pero también diferencias notables. Los autores, además, muestran la belleza retórica y literaria de la Probanza. Un aspecto notable es el uso de elaborados difrasismos que hasta ahora no se han encontrado en otros textos zapotecos publicados.

Abstract:
Gradient analysis was used to determine factors driving small-scale variation of cloud forest communities harboring Magnolia dealbata, a threatened species and bioculturally relevant tree for the Chinantecan, Mazatecan, Nahuan, and Zapotecan ethnicities in southern Mexico. Particularly, we aimed to: (a) determine factors explaining major community gradients at different heterogeneity scales along a small-scale elevational gradient, (b) test the Decreasing and the Continuum hypotheses along elevation, and (c) classify vegetation to assist in identifying conservation priorities. We used a stratified random sampling scheme for 21 woody stands along a small-scale (352 m) elevational transect. Four main data matrices were used (presence-absence, density, basal area, and guild data). Through Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling (NMS), Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA), and distance-based Redundancy Analysis (db-RDA), we found that major community variation was explained by soil pH, displaying an outstanding vegetation discontinuity, separating the species-rich relic Oreomunnea-Ticodendron-stands from stands with higher importance values for M. dealbata. The high species richness observed was explained by a combination of the windward effect of dry-seasonal maximum cloud condensation gain and habitat differentiation-specialization, a phenomenon that may also explain the mid-peak hypothesis and ensure the survival of relic species. Sampling-truncation and conservation status also played a role in this. Our results do not support the Decreasing and Continuum hypotheses along elevation.

Abstract:
Isthmus Zapotec (autoglossonym: [dìʤàˈzàˑ]) is the common name used for a variety of Zapotec (Otomanguean family) spoken on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, Mexico (Suárez 1983: xvi; Campbell 1997: 158). It is now officially listed by the Instituto Nacional de Lenguas Indígenas (INALI 2008) as ‘zapoteco de la planicie costera’ (‘coastal plain Zapotec’) to distinguish it from other varieties of Zapotec spoken on the Isthmus. It is the mother tongue of many inhabitants of various cities and towns, as well as many smaller communities (INALI 2008), with some lexical, syntactic and phonetic variation between towns only a few kilometers apart. The ISO 639-3 code for this variety is zai. Since the most recent census figures do not separate out the varieties of Zapotec, and have not done so reliably when attempted, official statistics as to the number of speakers of Isthmus Zapotec are not available. (The Ethnologue (Lewis 2009) cites the 1990 census as listing 85,000 speakers; that figure must have been an interpretation of other statistics in the census.) INALI (personal communication, September 2008) estimates the current number to be about 104,000. In the city of Tehuantepec, the language is no longer widely used. In certain other locations, including Juchitán de Zaragoza, Spanish is becoming the dominant or the only language spoken by many people born after about 1990, although Zapotec is dominant in many outlying towns, including San Blas Atempa. Mature speakers have remarked that young people who are not fluent do not use tones correctly. Isthmus Zapotec has had active writers, including poets and novelists, since the first half of the twentieth century, well before an orthography was officially established (Alfabeto popular 1956), but reading and writing of the language are still not taught in schools in the region.

Principalmente, describe la experiencia de campo en espacio físico. Se específica el ambiente, la música y la interacción en el billar, así como el cuerpo y las miradas. Se concluye que si bien es cierto que las lesbianas zapotecas viven sus identidades bajo la sombra, en medio de un sistema que sí tiene contemplado un rol social para los muxes a la vez que sostiene el mantenimiento de ciertos aspectos de la heteronormatividad, también es cierto que se está gestando en estas sociedades cierto cambio social a partir de las estrategias impulsadas por las nguiu´de hacerse valer a partir de su inserción como profesionistas, por acciones en beneficio de la comunidad o de apoyo a la economía familiar. De cualquier manera, frente a la alternativa de vivir siendo invisibles en su identidad sexual y su deseo por otras mujeres, ante el rechazo familiar y social, más allá de los mecanismos de simulación de una “normalidad”, siempre queda la posibilidad de la migración para las mujeres diversas del Istmo de Tehuantepec.

Drawing on interview data from a larger qualitative study of language and ideology among multilingual children in Los Angeles, California, the article examines the perspectives of four Zapotec mothers who have children in a local public school with a Spanish-English dual language program. The interview data highlight what these women think and do with respect to the maintenance of the Zapotec language in the lives of their school-aged children. Critical Latinx Indigeneities and the feminist notion of linguistic motherwork are used to highlight the intersectional nature of these women’s efforts to construct and sustain indigeneity in diaspora.

En la región zapoteca del norte de Oaxaca, la memoria histórica sintetiza las relaciones hegemónicas y contrahegemónicas creadas a través del tiempo. Durante el siglo XX, la región registró un intenso desplazamiento lingüístico y una rápida integración a las ideologías de la sociedad dominante. El desplazamiento lingüístico introdujo formas discursivas y léxicas que los indígenas han utilizado en sus relaciones con las instituciones hegemónicas. Los indígenas que vivieron esta época son conocidos en la comunidad como las “personas mayores”. Son los intermediarios entre el pasado y el presente, quienes narran la historia y crean las ideologías para promover el trabajo comunal y la defensa de los recursos de la comunidad. Las ideologías del sufrimiento, del lamento y del trabajo que se crean en las formas discursivas se entrelazan a la experiencia histórica de las personas mayores. La comunidad antepone este conocimiento histórico a las ideologías del capitalismo global.Abstract: Zapotec historical memory encloses hegemonic and counter hegemonic forces shaped over time. The Zapotec area experienced an intense linguistic change and a rapid integration to the ideologies of the dominant society throughout the 20th century. This linguistic change produced discursive and lexical forms that Zapotecs have used in their relationships with hegemonic, state institutions. Indians who experienced this period of profound social change are known locally as “las personas mayores”. These elderly persons are responsible for the telling of local history, which allows them to create ideologies both to encourage communal work and to protect community resources. The ideologies of lament, suffering and communal work that emerge in elderly discursive forms display the historical lived experience of las personas mayores. The community uses this historical knowledge to contest the ideologies of contemporary global capitalism.Résumé : La mémoire historique des Zapotèques synthétise les relations hégémoniques et contrehégémoniques qui furent créées à travers le temps.

Abstract:
Two new species and one subspecies of Mexican Zapoteca (Leguminosae, Mimosoideae) are described and mapped. Zapoteca balsasensis, endemic to Guerrero, is characterized by having leafless portions of the branchlets bearing persistent stipules, whereas Z. cruzii, also from Guerrero, is distinguished by its ability of producing adventitious roots on the stem nodes. Zapoteca formosa subsp. sinaloana, endemic to Sinaloa, differs by its narrowly-oblong leaflets, which contrast with the oblong-obovate to widely obovate leaflets in the other subspecies. For the three taxa, information on their geographic range, habitat and hypotetical taxonomic affinities are provided.

Abstract:
Los pueblos zapotecos de los Valles Centrales de Oaxaca, México, representan el núcleo de una de las culturas más importantes del estado; a pesar de los cambios estructurales, han mostrado una gran capacidad para reconstruir y reafirmar su identidad a partir de sus prácticas y habilidades tradicionales. Con la finalidad de documentar el conocimiento etnoecológico del chile de agua (Capsicum annuum L.), se realizó la presente investigación en ocho localidades de la región, en el año 2010. Se utilizó muestreo no probabilístico (discrecional y bola de nieve) y el método etnográfico. Los resultados se agruparon en el complejo: kosmos, corpus y praxis, para lo cual se realizaron entrevistas a productores y consumidores de chile de agua. Se encontraron cinco usos que van en orden de trascendencia de uso: comestible 45%, medicinal 36%, ritual 9%, amuleto 6% y ornamental 4%. Se observó que los productores entrevistados tienen un amplio conocimiento en cuanto al uso medicinal, ritual y amuleto; mientras que los consumidores entrevistados lo tienen en el uso comestible y medicinal. Los habitantes de las comunidades de la región de Valles Centrales tienen un amplio conocimiento etnoecológico; sin embargo, el estudio de las relaciones etnobotánicas tradicionales basadas en el conocimiento empírico de los grupos étnicos, es aún incipiente en lo que se refiere a flora endémica de las localidades de la cultura zapoteca.

Abstract:
This article offers a treatment of the linguistic category ‘adjective’ that appears in two colonial sources, both written by Fray Juan de Córdova, O.P. in 1578: theArte del idioma zapotecoand theVocabulario en lengua çapoteca. Juan de Córdova was a Dominican friar, born in Córdoba, Spain in probably 1501. In 1543, Juan de Córdova was ordained at the Convento Imperial de México and later was sent to the Dominican Monastery of Oaxaca. He served as Province Minister for two years — from 1568 to 1570 — and later he continued to be a missionary among the Zapotec, when he wrote his great work on their language. Toward the end of his life, Juan de Córdova returned to Oaxaca and died in the Dominican Monastery of Old Antequera in 1595. Based on the description of the category of the adjective, as proposed by Córdova and the analysis of the language as is currently spoken, particularly in the area of Santa Ana del Valle, Oaxaca, the author will show that the grammatical class proposed by Córdova was not actually formed as such during the period he describes. It will be shown, based on the analysis of two colonial texts — thetestamentosby Gabriel Luis (1610) and Juan López (1618) — that the words that Cordova calls adjectives not only occur with very low-frequency but, more crucially, their categorization as adjectives has been due to their role in the Spanish translations more than to their grammatical characteristics. These two testaments had been compiled, with other testaments and documents of several kinds, namely as documents in a legal suit concerning a site named Gueguecahui. It is relevant to mention that testaments are not very reliable kind of document for a syntactic analysis of the language, since they have a very rigid structure that apparently mimics the schema used in testaments written in Spanish. Nevertheless, they can show that the attributive modification function is seldom used, and the cases found do not support that these expressions really pertain to the syntactic category of adjectives. Furthermore, the analysis of adjectives as currently used in the Zapotec of Santa Ana del Valle shows that, more often than not, they do not correspond to adjectives but indeed verbs in Cordova’sVocabulario. This affirmation is based on a comparative analysis of some adjectives in modern Zapotec of Santa Ana del Valle with related words given adjectival meanings in Cordova´sVocabulario. In conclusion there is not enough evidence of the existence of adjective category in 16th-century Zapotec.

 Los recursos forestales no maderables (RFNM) son la parte no leñosa de la vegetación forestal susceptible de uso, por las poblaciones rurales. En este trabajo se investigaron los principales RFNM, específicamente plantas, empleados en las poblaciones de Capulálpam y Jaltianguis, Oaxaca. Se entrevistaron 40 informantes clave, elegidos mediante la técnica de bola de nieve, a quienes se les preguntó en Español y en Zapoteco sobre los RFNM, los cuales se determinaron taxonómicamente. Se registraron 122 RFNM en Capulálpam y 128 en Jaltianguis, para un total de 166 especies, pertenecientes a 66 familias botánicas; se identificaron 31 % a nivel género, 67 % a especie y solo 2 % no se determinaron. Las familias mejor representadas fueron Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Lamiaceae, Leguminosae, Pinaceae y Cactaceae. En Capulálpam, 20 plantas se mencionaron por dos nombres locales, ocho son endémicas de México, dos endémicas de Oaxaca, ocho exóticas y dos cultivadas. En Jaltianguis, 34 se designan con dos nombres locales, ocho son endémicas de México, dos endémicas de Oaxaca, 13 exóticas y dos cultivadas. De la flora registrada en Jaltianguis, 67 % tienen nombres zapotecos. Esta información evidencia la gran cantidad de vegetales silvestres usados por las familias campesinas de la región y de las cuales no se tenían registros.

Abstract:
AbstractInteraction between the Gulf Coast Olmecs and various regions of Early Formative Mesoamerica remains debated and poorly understood. In Oaxaca, models have been dominated by neoevolutionary epistemology; interaction between the Valley of Oaxaca and San Lorenzo has been characterized by emulation or peer polity models. Data from the Valley of Oaxaca, the Nochixtlán Valley, and the Gulf Coast demonstrate that San Lorenzo was at a different level of sociopolitical complexity than its contemporaries. Previous comparisons between Olmec-style pottery in the Gulf Coast and Valley of Oaxaca are found to be problematic, and have led to the impression that Oaxaca villagers produced more of this pottery than did the Olmecs. Neutron activation analysis demonstrates the Gulf Coast Olmecs exported ceramics to Mixtecs and Zapotecs in Oaxaca, while receiving few if any pots in return, suggesting that new models and theoretical perspectives must be applied to understanding the relationships between Oaxacan chiefdoms and the nascent Olmec state at San Lorenzo. An agency perspective explores what Mixtec, Zapotec, and Olmec groups may have taken from these interactions and relationships and acknowledges both local and Gulf Coast understandings of “Olmec.” Such relationships may be characterized more by acquisition between regions, with San Lorenzo as a superordinate center.

Abstract:
El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el grado de desplazamiento lingüístico que presenta el zapoteco en la ciudad de Juchitán de Zaragoza, Oaxaca, México. Este trabajo se enmarca en la teoría de ecología de presiones, la cual indica que, en una situación de contacto lingüístico, existen relaciones asimétricas de poder que generan presiones negativas hacia los hablantes de la lengua autóctona, llevándolos a actuar en contra de la vitalidad de su propia lengua. En este estudio se realiza un análisis descriptivo del bilingüismo social de la comunidad de Juchitán con el propósito de identificar las habilidades lingüísticas de los hablantes en zapoteco y en español, así como los cambios que ambas lenguas han tenido intergeneracionalmente. La recolección de datos se realizó por medio de un cuestionario aplicado a una muestra de la población de 382 personas de un total de 74 825 habitantes. Durante este procedimiento, a los encuestados se les solicitó que evaluaran su nivel de competencia comunicativa tanto en zapoteco como en español. Los resultados muestran que el zapoteco presenta una reducción considerable de su transmisión intergeneracional, lo que se observa en el hecho de que la mayoría de los niños son hablantes monolingües del español y solo un número reducido de ellos puede entender el zapoteco. En contraste, el español se ha consolidado en todos los grupos generacionales, aún entre los adultos mayores. Debido a esto, se concluye que el zapoteco presenta un estado avanzado de desplazamiento lingüístico en la comunidad de Juchitán.

Abstract:
Tone and phonation type are known to show complex interactions. I argue that breathy vowels in one Central Zapotec variety, San Lucas Quiaviní Zapotec (Otomanguean, Mexico), has resulted from an original tonal contrast between the low and rising tones (registrogenesis), based both on language-internal and comparative evidence with other closely-related Central Zapotec varieties. The case of Central Zapotec is unusual in that the direction of the sound change is from a tonal contrast to a phonation contrast, while in other known cases the direction is usually the opposite.

Abstract:
Carpets woven in Mexico today use design elements found at historical sites in the vicinity of their manufacture, and local Indigenous weaving techniques function within an unbroken line of traditional familial wisdom. The weaving culture of the Zapotec Nation of Oaxaca now exists at the juncture of multivalent competing visual, economic and cultural mediators, which makes for a compelling case study to examine the impacts of globalization, as well as the preservation of creative and cultural autonomy. This article describes site visits to Zapotec weaving ateliers, and also examines the history of Zapotec weaving traditions, and contemporary community engagement within these (now globalized) processes. The methodology employed is an object-based exploration of a Zapotec weaving. Fieldwork was conducted in the winter of 2019. It included an ethnographic observation of master Zapotec weavers within their ateliers; an observation of the original design inspirations at pre-Columbian architectural sites; artefact observation at the Museo Textil de Oaxaca; as well as practice-led natural dye research. Textile weaving is a natural site for the study of political agency and ‘cultural citizenship’, as it functions within a structure that safeguards traditional knowledge, as well as collectivizes local labourers within production flows.

Abstract:
Recent archaeological and epigraphic research suggests the existence of what could be Mesoamerica's first conquest state, centered at Monte Albán, the major Late Formative period Zapotec site in the Valley of Oaxaca. This paper explores the idea of an early Zapotec empire by examining evidence from one of Monte Albán's outlying regions, the southern Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The study is framed in terms of three hypothetical models of political and economic interaction, any one or combination of which could conceivably account for ancient Zapotec relationships with the southern Isthmus and its other hinterland regions.

Abstract:
This paper analyses the imagery on two different Zapotec ceramic forms: an open-ended cylinder and an effigy vessel, both from the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. In this study, I propose that the figures on these objects represent impersonators of the Zapotec storm god Cocijo. The impersonators would probably have been rulers playing the role of this god and are carrying out a ritual associated with the agricultural cycle of corn. A comparative method that combines historical archaeology, ethnography, and iconographic analysis reveals clues to the function and significance of the vessels. The study leads to the conjecture that these objects were used in connection with blood offerings during corn-harvest rituals. These conclusions address the nature of ancient Zapotec religion and cosmology and provide evidence that the Zapotec performed rain and fertility rituals associated with the corn harvest similar to those of other cultural groups in Mesoamerica.

Full text
Abstract:
Recently obtained radiocarbon determinations from the Cañada de Cuicatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico, have made it possible to revise the chronological placement of the Perdido phase (from 600-200 B. C. to 750-300 B. C.) and the Lomas phase (from 200 B. C.-A. D. 200 to 300 B. C.-A. D. 200), the latter being the phase for which substantial evidence of a Zapotec conquest of the Cañada has been recovered. The revised chronology brings the Lomas phase into close alignment with the Late Monte Albán I (300-100 B. C.) and the Monte Albán II (100 B. C.-A. D. 200) phases, during which the early Zapotec state emerged with its capital at Monte Albán in the Oaxaca Valley. The new Cañada dates support the proposition that territorial expansion outside the Oaxaca Valley played a major role very early in the process of Zapotec primary state formation. This strategy of extra-Valley expansion appears to have been initiated before all areas within the Oaxaca Valley were fully integrated into the Zapotec state.
