Phonetics and phonology of Mopan Maya: segments, processes, and syllabic patterns

Languages of the Yucatecan branch –Yukatek, Lacandon, Itzaj, Mopan– have been hugely studied among the Mayan family; nevertheless, such linguistic descriptions and analysis have not given enough attention to phonetic and phonological levels, especially as regards to the phonetic description of the c...

This paper presents a brief description and analysis of the phonetic and phonological levels of Mopan Maya. It is organized as follows. In §1, general information about the language is provided, including lexical loans of other Mayan languages. This section also includes the methodology of the investigation and some general information about the consultants whose speech is described here. In §2, the vowel system and its contrasts are presented. In §3, the consonantal system, its contrasts, and most prominent phonological processes are presented, although those that have been widely described by previous authors are not included –such as assimilation of nasals, vowel harmony and vowel dissimilation–. Section §4 describes the syllable structure of words in, and Section §5 focuses on acoustic analysis and phonetic description of the contrast between glottalized and non-glottalized obstruents, and the realizations of glottal stop. Lastly, some final considerations are offered.Si bien las lenguas de la rama yucatecana –yucateco, lacandón, itzaj, mopan– han sido de las más estudiadas en la familia lingü.stica maya, las descripciones y análisis lingü.sticos no han dado la debida atención al nivel fónico, en especial en lo que se refiere a la descripción fonética de los segmentos consonánticos y vocálicos de este grupo de lenguas. Este artículo presenta una breve descripción fonológica y análisis fonético de la lengua maya mopan, y se organiza como sigue. En §1 se dan datos generales de la lengua –destacando los préstamos léxicos de otras lenguas mayas–, se expone la metodología seguida en la investigación y se proporciona información sobre los colaboradores. En §2 se presenta el sistema vocálico y sus contrastes. En §3 se presentan el sistema consonántico, sus contrastes, y los procesos fonológicos más prominentes, aunque no se incluyen aquellos que han sido descritos ampliamente por autores previos, como asimilación de nasales, armonía vocálica y disimilación vocálica. La sección §4 describe la estructura silábica de las palabras en maya mopan y, la sección §5 se centra en el análisis acústico y descripción fonética de las consonantes implosivas, del contraste entre obstruyentes simples y glotalizadas, y de las realizaciones de la oclusiva glotal. Por último, se ofrecen unas consideraciones finales.El Colegio de México, A.C.2021-05-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlapplication/epub+zipapplication/octet-streamaudio/mpeghttps://cuadernoslinguistica.colmex.mx/index.php/cl/article/view/17610.24201/clecm.v8i0.176Cuadernos de Lingüística de El Colegio de México (CLECM); Vol. 8 (2021): January-December; 1-59Cuadernos de Lingüística de El Colegio de México; Vol. 8 (2021): Vol. 8 (enero-diciembre 2021); 1-592007-736X2007-736Xreponame:Cuadernos de Lingüística de El Colegio de Méxicoinstname:EL COLEGIO DE MÉXICOinstacron:COLMEXspahttps://cuadernoslinguistica.colmex.mx/index.php/cl/article/view/176/270https://cuadernoslinguistica.colmex.mx/index.php/cl/article/view/176/297https://cuadernoslinguistica.colmex.mx/index.php/cl/article/view/176/308https://cuadernoslinguistica.colmex.mx/index.php/cl/article/view/176/309https://cuadernoslinguistica.colmex.mx/index.php/cl/article/view/176/328Derechos de autor 2021 Martín Sobrino Gómezinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:oai.cuadernoslinguistica.colmex.mx:article/1762024-08-16T21:58:24Z
