Kañcheñyoomä’ ‘The Lazy Woman’

told by Tomás Lopéz Florentino

Søren Wichmann and Lynda Boudreault¹

Texistepec Popoluca, a Gulf Zoquean language, is spoken in the town of Texistepec, located in the southernmost part of the state of Veracruz, Mexico. It is one of the four languages spoken in Veracruz that is referred to as Popoluca. Some scholars prefer to call it Texistepequeño, and the autodenomination is wɨː-ʔoːt ‘good word(s)’.

The story presented here was narrated in 1993 by Tomás Lopéz Florentino. This story was originally published in Cuentos y colorados en popoluca de Texistepec (Wichmann 1996), a collection of Texistepec stories with Spanish translations, an analytical index and folkloristic comments. In addition to Mr. Lopez, at the time this story was recorded there were at most a few hundred speakers of the language. The stories were recorded on cassette and later transcribed and translated with the help of Mr. López, and to a lesser extent with the late Carmen Román Telésforo.

The story Kañcheñyoomä’ ‘The Lazy Woman’ (kañčeñ ‘lazy’, yoːmɨʔ ‘woman’) is told in a series of episodes. It tells of a young man who wants to take a wife, but the object of his affection is known to be lazy (lines 1-60). After they are married, his bride’s lack of interest in helping with household chores frustrates her new family, especially her mother-in-law (61-93). After the couple is moved into their own home, the young man learns the extent of her laziness (104-154) and solves the problem (155-200). His father-in-law sees first-hand how his daughter has changed (201-244) and learns what motivated her transformation (245-283). The father-in-law returns home with notions of implementing the same strategy to change his wife’s lifelong attitude toward domestic responsibility (285-305). His actions have consequences (306-363), and his wife sets him straight (364-395).²

Notes

Wichmann recorded and analyzed the text, Boudreault prepared the English translation and the formatting. Jan Strunk is responsible for the original text-to-speech alignment in ELAN. [back]
The representation for the person marking paradigm in Texistepec differs from that of the other texts in this volume. There are two intransitive paradigms, reflected in the notation. S_A marks ergative subjects of intransitive verbs, and S_B marks absolutive subjects of intransitive verbs. The symbol ê represents an underlying segment that surfaces as [e]; however, it is subject to allophonic variation distinct from that of /e/. It is not in itself a phoneme; its use here is strictly analytical. [back]
The name Fulano (of which Julano in a local variant) is frequently used in Spanish to mean “whoever” or to refer to a nameless someone. [back]
The word daʔaʔpaʔkš is composed of the root daʔaŋ ‘husband’ and the unidentified root paʔkš. In this line, the word refers to the father-in-law. [back]
