Description

Victoria R. Bricker is Professor Emerita of Anthropology at Tulane University, Courtesy Professor of Anthropology at the University of Florida, and Research Associate at the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida.

"Bricker's work constitutes a milestone not only for the historical study of the indigenous languages of the Americas, but also for the historical study of languages in general, and will no doubt serve as a major case study in such an endeavor for years to come." -David Mora MarIn, associate professor in linguistics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "This book will become a go-to source for anyone working in Mayan epigraphy, colonial ethnohistory, or the modern language. There is nothing like it in the literature. Even though many scholars have studied either the modern or the colonial language and a couple have studied both, Bricker shows that by playing the two stages of language against one another, we learn important new information about both, shedding light on facts at every level of grammar." -William F. Hanks, professor of anthropology, Berkeley Distinguished Chair in Linguistic Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley
