Introduction: The view from Mesoamerica / Crosslinguistic study -- Roots or Edges? Explaining variation in children's early verb forms across five Mayan languages / Acquisition of ergative Mayan languages -- Explaining Ergativity / Early acquisition of the Split Intransitive System in Yukatek / Acquisition of the early lexicon -- A preliminary view at Ch'ol (Mayan) early lexicon: The role of language and cultural context / Acquisition of referential and relational words in Huichol: from 16 to 24 months of age / Semantic development. Barbara Pfeiler -- Clifton Pye, Barbara Pfeiler, Lourdes de Leon, Penelope Brown and Pedro Mateo -- Clifton Pye -- Carlos Carrillo Carreon -- Lourdes de Leon -- Paula Gomez Lopez --
This book includes six studies on the acquisition of single Mesoamerican indigenous languages, (Huichol, Zapotec, and the Mayan languages Ch'ol, Tzeltal, K'iche', and Yukatek); and a crosslinguistic study of five Mayan languages (K'anjob'al, K'iche', Tzeltal, Tzotzil, and Yukatek). Three topics are theoretically and methodologically discussed and empirically demonstrated: with respect to ergativity, the ergative-absolutive cross-referencing pattern on the morphological level, noun-verb distinction and the acquisition of body-part locatives in the early lexicon, and the role of semantic propert.
