Recent Mexican Study of the Native Languages of Mexico (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Practical bibliography and reference guide to Mexico’s indigenous languages

This reference work compiles key editions, studies, and periodical material on native Mexican tongues, with a clear pathway for researchers and students to find important works.

This edition organizes the material into three broad divisions—ancient manuscripts and reprints, linguistic studies by modern scholars, and practical texts for native use—and notes how the sources were gathered, cross‑checked, and sometimes excerpted from catalogs and bibliographies. It highlights major editors, publishers, and duplicated or revised editions to help readers track the evolution of language study in Mexico.

• A curated map of important Tarascan, Zapotec, Nahuatl, Mixtec, Otomi, Mazatec, and other language materials.
• Insight into how early grammars, vocabularies, and catechisms were produced and circulated.
• Guidance on locating rare items and understanding their historical context.
• Notes on practical works designed for use by native speakers or learners.

Ideal for readers of linguistics, ethnography, and Mexican history, as well as librarians and researchers building linguistic collections.
