Incorporation in Nahua Dialects

[Arnd Sölling]

Listeros,
I'm researching on the Nahua Dialects and my interest is about noun incorporation
as in the hierarchy established 1984: The Evolution of Noun Incorporation by Marianne Mithun.
I've read in Hill, J. & K. 1986: Speaking Mexicano that productive incorporation
is active in the peripheral dialects like the Huasteca area, whereas in the central dialects such as in Puebla (called Malinche Mexicano by the authors) incorporation only appears fossilized. My question would now be if anyone knows about a dialect that lies in between those two extremes; maybe a dialect that only uses lexical compounding but no more generically referring constructions (as in Mithun's Type III); or one that uses a classificatory incorporating system (Type IV) but no referring one...
Many thanks in advance,
Arnd Sölling
