Main Article Content
Abstract
The paper attempts to carry out a general analysis of the temporal and spacial relationships of the Zapotec variant as spoken in the town of Tlacochahuaya, Oaxaca, Mexico. It also deals with the principal traits of the phonemes, described. Some problems in the identification of other possible phonemes are also noted. it is possible to sbow that a general trait for the Zapotec languages consists in the presence of a double series of consonants" that vary by their being either fortis or lenis or double or single. The Tlacocháhuaya dialect has a series of thirteen stops: Seven fortis and six lenis; six spirants: four fortis (two of which come from Spanish) and two lenis; three nasals: one fortis and two lenis; one lateral, lenis; two vibrants: one, possibly fortis. and one lenis, and one semivowel. Positions of articulation are: bilabial, apico-alveolar, dorso-alveolar, palatal. velar. labio-velar. and glottal. There are six vowels, three high, two middle, and one low; three phonemic tones, and one accent.
