  • The Acquisition of Negation in Three Mayan Languages Clifton Pye Barbara Pfeiler Pedro Mateo Pedro Estudios Culturales K’iche’ Yucatec negation Q’anjob’al Language acquisition We present data on the early forms of negation in three Mayan languages (K’iche’, Yucatec and Q’anjob’al). These languages mark different contrasts between discourse, clausal and existential contexts of negation. Negation in these languages also interacts with aspect and modality. Children acquiring K’iche’ use an internal form of clausal negation while children acquiring Yucatec and Q’anjob’al use an external form of clausal negation. The K’iche’ and Yucatec children successfully mark the contrast between the discourse and clausal forms of negation. The data show that children in each language create their own forms of negation. 2017 artículo científico 0185-2574 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=281354516008 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2813/281354516008/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2813/281354516008/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2813/281354516008/281354516008.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2813/281354516008/movil 10.19130/IIFL.ECM.2017.49.771 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2813 Estudios de Cultura Maya application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Estudios de Cultura Maya (México) Vol.XLIX
