Notas lingüísticas sobre el diluvio y la creación (dos relatos mexicaneros)

Resumen

In his analysis, Valiñas demonstrates certain relationships between the linguistic form of the language used and the narrative development of two connected Nahuatl stories from Durango collected by Konrad Preuss, The Flood and The Creation. He notes structural similarities between the stories, and points out that he is considering the story, not the text, since one storycan be divided into different texts according to the teller. Linguistic features that Valiñas includes are time and aspect, direction, and mood.
