Abstract:

Zapotec languages present a wide range of lexical, morphological,
phonological, and syntactic means of indicating valence changes. Despite their
significant theoretical interest, detailed descriptions of valence-changing
phenomena in Zapotec are rare, comparative studies are practically
non-existent, and Zapotec contributions to the general typology of
valence-changing phenomena still remain largely untapped. The present volume
addresses this imbalance by being the first to explore Zapotec
valence-changing constructions in depth, and to highlight their broad
comparative, typological, and theoretical significance. This book contains
both write-ups of contributions to the Special Session on Valence-Changing
Devices in Zapotecan (annual meeting of SSILA, 2012) and specially
commissioned chapters. It will be of interest to Zapotecanists,
Otomangueanists, Mesoamericanists, typologists, morphologists, syntacticians,
semanticians, and general linguists with an interest in valence-changing
phenomena, and may also be used as supplementary reading in field methods and
typology courses.
