Nahuatl Digest, Vol 304, Issue 3

[Jacinto Acatecatl]

Felicidades  Paloma Rodríguez, es bueno saber que haya mas investigadores que le dediquen a un lengua indígena, me pongo a tus ordenes en lo poco que te pueda ayudar, por mi parte no soy linguista ni antropologo, mi formación es en sociología pero eh dado clases de nahúatl y soy Nahuablante de la Zona centro del Estado de Veracruz.
Excelente día.

> Hello,
> My name is Paloma Rodríguez. I'm a linguist and I'm about to start my second year of a second Master's degree in Guadalajara Mexico. I've been working with Nahuatl for 4 years, since my first Master. 
> For my thesis I plan to analyse directional particles in Nahuatl to try to understand their different functions and meanings. I've already read: Olmos, Carochi, Lockhart, Launey and Andrews. And it would help me a lot if you could send  me or suggest me some bibliography related to this topic. 
> Besides, I'm planning to do a PhD in Nahuatl linguistics in USA. I wonder if you could tell me about the universities where there are Nahuatl researchers in linguistics or other fields. 
> I thank you in advance for your attention.
