Carol-Rose Little and collaborator Morelia Vázquez Martínez (Instituto Tecnológico Superior de Macuspana) received a special distinction award in the Best Student Presentation category from the Society for the Study of Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA). They presented “Dimensions of definiteness in Ch’ol: A dialectal comparison” at the SSILA Winter 2020 Meeting. Vázquez Martínez presented the talk entirely in Ch’ol, with slides in English. This is the first time a talk at SSILA has ever been given in an indigenous language.
