<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=500181400-21052006>I've long wondered
about how accumulated knowledge of Nahuatl grammar was transmited over the
years, particularly during the 20th century. I know that Mexican priest and
scholar Angel Maria Garibay Kintana was a pioneer and I think I read
somewhere that he taught Miguel Leon-Portilla and Thelma Sullivan.
Francisco Horcasitas must fit in here somewhere. North of the border several
people dabbled in Nahuatl in the 19th century and early 20th centuries, but it
seems that Arthur Anderson played an important role in digging in deeper and
teaching others. J. Richard Andrews is obviously a key figure, taking full
advantage of the phonological and grammatical precision to be found in Carochi's
Arte of 1645. His influence is obvious in the grammars and dictionaries of
Frances Karttunen and R. Joe Campbell, the pillars of this list. James Lockhart
fits in here somewhere and seems to have taught some of the people now
publishing translations of old Nahuatl texts. I don't know any of these scholars
personally, so I don't have a handle on their relative ages to see the
generational perspective. Can anybody out there help me put the pieces together
to see some sort of family tree of mentors and disciples? I'm particularly
interested in any possible connection between the mid-20th century school of
nahuatlatos in Mexico City and the people working in the US. The European
school, whose flowering can be seen on Marc Thouvenot's SUP-INFOR website, is
another matter, and any data on it would also be most
welcome.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
