Wendy comes from San Cristóbal de Las Casas (Chiapas, Mexico) and is a native speaker of Sierra Popoluca, a Mixe-Zoquean language spoken in the southern part of the Mexican State of Veracruz. She recently received her MA in Linguistics at CIESAS Sureste in San Cristóbal de Las Casas with a thesis on “Morphosyntactic mechanisms of valency changes in Sierra Popoluca” with Roberto Zavala. If you want to know more about Wendy and her work, feel free to check the brief video interview she recorded for Ivano and his colleagues’ project, “Headless Relative Clauses in Mesoamerican Languages”. Wendy speaks in Sierra Popoluca up to 1:42 min, then repeats and further elaborates in Spanish.
If you would like to meet with Wendy during her visit, please let Sharon or Ivano know.
