Description:This is the fifth recording session with Om, the two year-old son of CHX and KA. The purpose is to record child language acquisition.
Lacandón Cultural Heritage is a documentation of the language and culture of the northern Lacandón(Maya), who live in the rain forest in Chiapas, the south-eastern state of Mexico. They number approximately 350 men, women and children, who have retained much of their traditional traditional culture and religion. The project serves as a preservative measure against loss of the traditional knowledge, stories, and verbal performances that are central to Lacandón culture. It also serves as an interactive resource tool for linguists and non-linguists to access data relevant to their areas of interest, such as folklore, ethnobotany, cultural anthropology, etc.
This is the fifth recording session with Om, the two year-old son of CHX and KA. In this session, like the others, the camera simply follows Om around. The purpose is to record naturally occurring speech, which, in this case, are one-syllable words.Other sessions include Om_01, Om_02, Om_03, Om_04.
Lacandon is spoken in this session.
Om verbalizes, while KM and KP interact minimally with him. The collector is present and may, at times, be heard talking to Om.
KM is CK Viejo's third and eldest living wife. She is the head of the household, by virtue of her seniority. She has borne ten children, all of whom are now adults and have long since moved out of the family household. She is adored by KP's grandchild, Lej. She has never left the village, except for the occasional trips to other surrounding villages, and the larger towns of Ocosingo and San Cristobal.
The collector of this session data is also responsbile for the collection of all of the data sessions and the whole project.
KP was born and raised in Naha. She was brought into CK Viejo's household when she was five years old. She was raised by her co-wife KM. She and CK Viejo had ten children, some of whom still live on the family property. She has not ventured far from Naha.
Om is the first child of CHX and KA. He is the grandson of KP, and nephew of CNK, SK, KGP, KyG, CKD. He is the grandson of CK. He has a little sister, who has not been named yet.
