R-6. Bibliography
Almost all writing on the Valley Zapotec language has been highly technical. Extensive works on or in the language listed below include a Bible translation (Liga Bíblica 1995), a dictionary (Munro and Lopez et al. 1999), four dissertations (Galant 1998, Lee 1999, Jensen de López 2002, and Lillehaugen 2006), and three master’s theses (Méndez 2000, Esposito 2002, and Lillehaugen 2003). You’ll learn more about the dictionary, which contains many more words than the Rata Ra Dizh (vocabulary) in this book, later in this course. There are also numerous shorter articles, of which we cite below only Lopez and Munro (1999), which presents a sociolinguistically oriented description of one Valley Zapotec community, and Munro (2003), which discusses the question of writing and orthography within a sociolinguistic context.
