This qualitative study asks how Yucatec Maya-speaking
immigrants from Mexico are using their three languages, Maya,
Spanish and English, across a variety of social contexts and
neighborhoods in San Francisco, California. Treating language as
communicative practice, the study looks at the
relative value and meaning of these languages in public and private
spaces across the city. Qualitative data were collected from
interviews, participant observation, and case studies of four individuals.
These include recorded multilingual interactions with shopkeepers,
roommates,
coworkers and clinic staff, which are explored using
Conversation
Analysis and frameworks from linguistic anthropology and language socialization studies. Quantitative data on
patterns of language use were collected through a
language and literacy survey of 170 adults, which was designed
and administered by a team Maya-speakers and the author. These data
underscore the considerable linguistic resources of these
Yucatecans, many of whom have
few years of formal schooling. The study challenges
language educators to build on these resources, rather than on limited academic foundations.
