Description
Abstract. The linguistic gumbo presented in this work is three separate sociolinguistic situations--Francoproven[??]al in Europe, Patron Saints' festivals in Central Mexico, and Kuna in Panama. Although each is distinct, all share certain sociolinguistic and discourse changes which raise interesting questions for the communities themselves, as well as for scholars such as ourselves. Introduction. It is an honor and a pleasure to have been invited to make this presentation at LASSO, and thus to be among friends and colleagues, present and former students. I remember with pleasure the various LASSO meetings I have attended. One way back involved a panel on the Mayan Kekchi language that was organized by Sandra Pinkerton and emerged from a field-methods class at UT Austin. I was a plenary speaker in El Paso where I talked about paying serious attention to documentation of language use, which means recording, transcribing, translating, and most recently electronic and web based archiving. Then I helped organize our annual meeting in Austin. In Puebla, Mexico, at that wonderful meeting, I had opportunity to present some of my work leading to my current activities.
