Language and its Structures — Appendices

About the Book

These appendices contain an overview of basic structures of the Nahuatl language, a glossary of technical terms used in linguistics generally and Cognitive Grammar in particular, catalogs of diagramming and typeface conventions, abbreviations and and other things. The glossary of technical terms and the description of Nahuatl may be of some use quite apart from the rest of the book.

This book is a translation into English of Las estructuras del lenguaje: Apéndices which was originally written in Spanish.

About the Author

David Tuggy T.
David Tuggy T.

David Tuggy works as a linguist, specializing in Nawatl (Nahuatl). He has been collecting inadvertent blends and other kinds of bloopers since the mid-1980’s. This is the fruit of his arduous labors. (Don’t kid youselves, it’s been too much fun for that!) You can check out davidtuggy.com on the web if you are interested.
