Abstract:

Sierra de Zongolica Nawatl is a Nawan dialect (Uto-Aztecan) spoken in the 
mountainous region to the south of the city of Orizaba, Veracruz, Mexico. 
While the language is still the first choice in daily communication for most 
people in the region, it tends to be weakened in urban settings by the ubiquity 
of Spanish. 

The present study of verbal constructions is based upon a corpus of spoken 
and written materials in this little studied dialect, while drawing upon the 
handful of previous works. It is an example of how the elements of 
morphological structure and their individual semantic content are subordinate 
their communicative function, i.e. the use to which they are put in the 
meaningful production of discourse. This is shown, by comparing the context 
of the speech situation and the communicative task at hand to the structural 
elements used to carry out that task. 

The analyses presented here are by no means intended to be exhaustive, 
just as the empirical material cannot aspire to be representative of any 
speech community; rather, the intention is the creation of a panoramic 
overview of one grammatical category, verbs, in a functional light in order to 
create openings for further investigations.
