John Benjamins Publishing is please to announce a new work in the History
of Linguistics:
Bibliografía cronológica de la lingüística, la gramática y la lexicografía
del español (BICRES II). Desde el año 1601 hasta el año 1700.

Since the publication of the still very valuable Biblioteca histórica
de la filología by Cipriano Muñoz y Manzano, conde de la Viñaza,
(Madrid, 1893), our knowledge of the history of the study of the
Spanish language has grown considerably. It has been the purpose of
BICRES I (from the beginnings to 1600), published in 1994 in the same
series, to bring already available bibliographical information
together with the more recent research findings, scattered in many
places, books and articles and published during the past one hundred
years. Now, the second volume, covering the years from 1601 to 1700,
has been published, according to the same principles as the first one.
Years of work in the major librairies of Spain and other European
countries have gone into this new bibliography in order to offer as
exhaustive as possible a description of all Spanish grammars and
dictionaries, histories of the Spanish language as well studies
devoted to particular facets of its evolution in the 17th century.
BICRES II brings together in chronological order close to 1,300
titles. Access to the bibliographical information is facilitated by
several detailed indexes, such as author index, short title index,
index of places of production, index of printers and publishers, and a
index of locations of the books described.
Desde la publicación de la muy meritoria y aún hoy útil Biblioteca
histórica de la filología castellana (Madrid, 1893) de Cipriano Muñoz
y Manzano, conde de la Viñaza, nuestros cono-cimientos sobre la
historia de la lingüística española se han ensanchado
considerable-mente. Fue el propósito de BICRES I ("desde los comienzos
hasta 1600"), que se publicó en 1994 en esta misma serie, sumar, a los
datos bibliográficos conocidos, la información más reciente aparecida
durante los últimos cien años en los más diversos lugares.
BICRES II presenta la información correspondiente a los años 1601-1700
manteniendo los mismos principios metodológicos que fueron empleados
en el primer volumen.
Para terminar esta nueva bibliografía han sido necesarios años de
trabajo en bibliotecas españolas y europeas. De esta manera se ha
conseguido reunir la máxima cantidad disponible de datos sobre
gramáticas y diccio-narios de la lengua española publicados en el
siglo XVII, así como sobre historias de la lengua española y estudios
dedicados a los más variados aspecto de su desarrollo.
La Bibliografía cronológica de la lingüística, la gramática y la
lexicografía del español (BICRES II) ofrece, en orden cronológico,
apoximadamente 1.300 títulos. Una serie de índices detallados
(autores, títulos abreviados, lugares de publicación, impresores y
edito-riales y, finalmente, paraderos) facilita el acceso a la
infomación bibliográfica.

Subject: Native American Langs- P. Munro & F. Lopez, Zapotec-English Dict
THE FIRST ZAPOTEC-ENGLISH DICTIONARY IS PUBLISHED
The UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center announced last week that it has
published the first dictionary with English definitions of a Zapotec language.
The dictionary is of the Zapotec language as it is spoken in the pueblo of
San Lucas Quiaviní in the Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico, and by many immigrants
to Los Angeles. The language was never written down or studied before the
beginning of research at UCLA in 1993. The Zapotecan language family is the
largest indigenous language group in Oaxaca, and one of the largest in
Mexico.
The authors are Pamela Munro, a professor of linguistics at UCLA and a
leading scholar of indigenous languages of the Americas, and Felipe H.
Lopez, a graduate student in the Ph.D. program in urban planning at UCLA
and a native speaker of San Lucas Quiaviní Zapotec. The Los Angeles Times,
Univision, and the Evening Outlook have all featured Lopez for this work.
The dictionary is the product of a National Science Foundation-funded
project at UCLA, a center for the scholarly study of Zapotec.
The two-volume dictionary contains over 9,000 entries and cross-references.
Zapotec words and expressions are defined in both English and Spanish.
Entries include examples of words used in natural sentences, as well as
grammatical and cultural notes. The introduction includes a survey of the
language's grammar. It uses a new spelling system representing contrasts in
vowel phonation and derived tone. Volume II contains English-Zapotec and
Spanish-Zapotec indices with over 20,000 brief entries.
We will celebrate this unique achievement at a community event at the
Oaxacan restaurant Guelaguetza (11127 Palms Boulevard), which Hispanic
Magazine chose this month as one of the top three Hispanic restaurants in
Los Angeles, on Saturday, October 16, from 3:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon.
One of the first ethnic studies centers, the UCLA Chicano Studies Research
Center was established by visionary scholars in 1969. For thirty years, its
publishing unit has led in the field's dissemination.
