“…But now that traditional transmission of Tewa in the home has been disrupted, the need for teaching the language produces new problems. The creation and distribution of resource materials within the community is complicated by clan and community leaders who strongly feel that language must be carefully regulated and who contest not only the circulation of written resources but also the practice of writing the language down at all (Kroskrity, 2014).…”

“…Though I have focused much more on practices and ideologies that are widely displayed in these groups rather than on their internal language ideological debates (Kroskrity, 2014) it is nevertheless clear that what is authentic language for the Tewa will be based on their history and cultural resources and will necessarily differ from criteria preferred by Monos. While it is important theoretically to restore a focus on multilingualism for those many communities for whom this is a longstanding cultural practice, it is perhaps even more important to recognize the practical significance of Indigenous patterns of multilingualism and the prescriptive force they exercise on contemporary and future linguistic adaptations of these communities.…”

Based on original and long-term research in two ideologically divergent Native American linguistic communities, I want to demonstrate the surprising persistence of Indigenous language ideologies associated with multilingualism and how differences in these ideologies have manifested in divergent patterns of language shift and, more recently, in the nature and scope of language revitalization efforts. The Village of Tewa (NE Arizona) still partially retains a multilingual adaptation in all generations except the youth and young adults (Kroskrity, 1993, 2014). The Western Mono (Central California) of such towns as North Fork and Auberry were traditionally multilingual with neighboring languages of the Yokuts and Southern Sierra Miwok groups (Kroskrity 2009). Though both groups were historically multilingual, the practice of multilingualism was differentially influenced by distinctive language ideologies such as those regarding purism/syncretism and the expressive/utilitarian functions of language. I will demonstrate that divergent indigenous ideological complexes associated with multilingualism have shaped distinctive patterns of language shiftda process significantly more totalizing among the Western Mono. In addition to language shift, these indigenous ideological complexes also appear to significantly influence such language revitalization practices as the private curation vs. publication of language renewal materials (Debenport, 2015). I facilitate this contrast and highlight patterns of persistence by developing the notion of language ideological assemblage.

“…For example, young adult speakers of Isthmus Zapotec are sometimes mocked by older speakers, as discussed in chapter 5. The social construction and negotiation of endangered or marginalized language communities is especially complex as these communities are often (re)defining themselves under conditions of discrimination and material inequality (Kroskrity 2014). Social difference and discrimination may be based on any feature of communication, and occur within as well as between speech communities.…”

Acevedo and the students and teachers of the Faculty of Languages, Universidad Autónoma Beníto Juárez de Oaxaca, among many more.There are many mentors who have taught and encouraged me over the years. I thank Nancy Hornberger for her support during the conceptualization and first phase of this study, and for the example she sets of integrity, curiosity, and dedication as an educational linguist. I have been fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful colleagues at the MultiLing Center and the Department of Linguistics and Open Access.

“…"Boundaries" have been the focus of research in many disciplines. Linguistic [ 13 ], cultural [ 14 ], cadastral parce [ 15 ], cultural heritage [ 16 ], urban growth [ 17 , 18 ], and administrative boundaries are all virtual boundaries that have been artificially defined. The natural boundaries formed by mountains, rivers, fences, and the Great Wall of China are all physical boundaries [ 19 , 20 ].…”

Delineation of traditional village boundaries: The case of Haishangqiao village in the Yiluo River Basin, China

In the conservation and development of traditional villages, it is vital to delineate reasonable village boundaries. At present, China’s traditional village boundaries are mainly defined through the boundaries of village construction land in its land policy. This approach ignores the "natural" state of traditional village boundaries and does not truly reflect villagers’ use of their villages. Using the constituent line segments of traditional village boundaries as parameters, we delineate a series of traditional village boundaries and constructed an assessment system for traditional village boundaries in terms of the convenience of villagers’ activities and their habitual use of village space. We used the delineation of the boundary of Haishangqiao village in the Yiluo River Basin in China as an example to test the effectiveness of the traditional village boundary delineation method and assessment system. The results show the following: (1) The virtual line segments connecting the buildings on the traditional village boundary are the main factors affecting the delineation of the traditional village boundary. (2) The amplitude of vibration and the global deviation of traditional village boundaries are the main influencing factors of complexity. (3) The complexity of traditional village boundaries is negatively correlated with the convenience of villagers’ activities. (4) The complexity of traditional village boundaries is negatively correlated with the emptiness of the internal space of traditional villages. The results of this study can provide practical reference values for scholars of rural planning, rural construction, rural conservation, rural management, and rural research.
