| Description | The collection provides information about Kaqchikel, a Mayan language spoken in the highlands of Guatemala. The audio files in this collection were recorded during the summers of 2013-2016, primarily for the purpose of the study of antipassives, syntactic ergativity, and movement constructions. Many of the recordings involve elicitation tasks, either from a list of questions/sentences or picture elicitation. The picture files and/or elicitation documents corresponding to each task can be found with the files they pertain to. Note that not all responses or all interviews were used for the production of associated publications, and not all of the data collected are found here as audio files. This collection also includes recordings of Kaqchikel immersion classes at Nimaläj Kaqchikel Amaq'. The transcriptions of those classes were created and analyzed by Juan Ajsivinac Sian. The collection of the movement and antipassive data was funded by the Bilinski Foundation and the University of Hawaii Arts and Sciences Advisory Council, while the analysis of the immersion classes was funded by the Smithsonian Institution and the University of Hawaii. |
