This is the first full-length reference grammar of Mam, a Mayan language
spoken today by over 400,000 people in the western highlands of Guatemala
and the state of Chiapas, Mexico. The result of over three years of extensive
fieldwork in Guatemala, A Grammar of Mam, a Mayan Language is based
on the dialect of Mam spoken by 12,000 people in San Ildefonso Ixtahuacan
in the department of Huehuetenango, Guatemala.
Nora C. England organizes A Grammar of Mam according to two comple-
mentary principles: to analyze Mam following basically traditional levels
of grammatical description and to present material in such a way that the
background information necessary for understanding each topic of discus-
sion shall have been previously provided. Accordingly, England s analysis of
the sound system and morphophonemic processes of Mam is followed by a
description of the characteristics of root, inflectional, and derivational mor-
phology. Chapters on phrase structure precede two chapters on sentence-
level syntax.
A Grammar of Mam is of particular interest in analyzing a Mayan lan-
guage that is both syntactically and morphologically ergative and that is
innovative in the direction of strengthening the ergative system. Indeed at
all levels of linguistic organization Mam is innovative, and for this reason it
is uniquely interesting both historically and theoretically.
Nora C. England is Dallas TACA Centennial Professor in the Humanities
at the University of Texas at Austin.
