El sistema de expresión reverencial en Hueyapan, Morelos

Resumen

Johanson describes the reverential system in the Nahuatl of Hueyapan, Morelos, which he notes is similar to, but different from, that of Tetelcingo studied by Pittman. For example, there seem to be more levels of respect in Hueyapan than in the latter town. Johansson then analyzes a text collected by Miguel Barrios in Hueyapan in the forties, and shows how the speaker manipulates the situation through the use of honorifics.
