“…Parallel structures are a stylistic strategy based on the formulation of a par of lines which are identical with the exception of a single element. The identical part of the constructions is called "co-text", whereas the alternating pairs are often called "parallel units" (Monod and Becquey 2008). Semantic parallelism is a widespread strategy among Shipibo-Konibo soccer commentators as illustrated in (9).…”

The present paper lists and illustrates eleven strategies that are systematically used by Shipibo-Konibo speakers in order to comment live soccer matches in the context of an indigenous soccer cup informally called “Mundialito Shipibo”. We argue that these lexical, morphosyntactic and discursive strategies can be classified into three types according to their function: iconic strategies, which attempt to present the information more vividly (onomatopoeic forms and ideophones, reduplications, parallel structures and hearsay-quotatives); emotional strategies, which are used by soccer commentators to express their emotions and their feelings (interjections, player-directed speech and diminutives); and proximity strategies, which bring the speech closer to the Shipibo-Konibo audience (lexical Shipibo-Konibo innovations, vocatives, evidential access configurations and code alternations). These various strategies are crucial for understanding the new social dynamics that the Shipibo-Konibo language is getting into as a consequence of becoming an urban language, and are clearly creating a new speech genre. The new social uses that the Shipibo-Konibo people are giving to their language and the features that the language is developing in this new social context are crucial to understand the future of Shipibo-Konibo and other minority languages in Peru.

“…This stylistic use of repetition is also known as parallelism or parallel verse and is used in a wide variety of oral and written traditions around the world. The use of parallelism has been widely documented in Mesoamerica (Edmonson and Bricker ; León‐Portilla ; Bright ; among others), and especially in the Mayan family of languages, for example, in Yucatec (Mudd ; Hanks , ; Edmonson and Bricker ; Bricker ; Vapnarsky ), Quiche (Edmonson ; Norman ; Du Bois ; Tedlock 2000/2010), Tojolabal (Brody ), Ixil (Townsend ), Tzotzil (Gossen , ; Haviland , ; Bricker , ), Tzeltal (Monod Becquelin ; Pitarch ), Ch'orti (Monod Becquelin and Becquey ), and Chol (Hopkins and Josserand , ; Rodríguez , ). Parallel verses are formed by inserting a synonym, a semantically related word, or an antonym in a repeated syntactic frame (Bricker ).…”

This article explores the role that repetition plays in symbolic healing through a close examination of the speech patterns and actions performed by a healer in a Chol Maya ritual aimed at curing a woman of kisiñ—the “embarrassment‐sickness.” The authors examine the repetition of speech patterns in the healing chant and the frequency with which other paralinguistic elements, such as taps, co‐occur with the chant verses. The sound patterns generated during the ritual, specifically those created by the rhythmic tapping of the patient's body with a bough bouquet, are yet another form of repetition often overlooked in analyses of healing rituals, which have concentrated on other symbolic elements used by healers. It is argued that the repetition of phrases in parallel verses serves as metapragmatic commentary on the healing process as a restructuring of the patient's body, which has been unstructured by the disease.

“…Los géneros rituales se distinguen en varios aspectos, relativos a (i) su contenido y finalidad; (ii) su marco interaccional y participativo (oradores especialistas o no, otros participantes presentes en el ritual, ya sean humanos o no humanos, el tipo de intervención que se espera de ellos, etc., ver Hanks 1999;2006;Haviland 2000;Monod Becquelin 2000); (iii) su configuración textual (por ejemplo, los tipos de organización textual cíclica, así como las distintas formas de paralelismo que los definen y operan a diferentes niveles del discurso) (Hanks 1984;Monod Becquelin & Becquey 2008;Monod Becquelin et al 2010;Vapnarsky 2000;; (iv) su configuración vocal (prosodia, melodía, tempo, unidades de soplo, pausas, alargamientos vocálicos, etc. ); y (v) su configuración gestual (posturas, gestos, miradas asociados con el habla).…”

Este artículo presenta nuevas perspectivas y herramientas para el estudio de las características sonoras de los discursos rituales mayas yucatecos. La metodología expuesta es el fruto de un trabajo interdisciplinario entre antropología lingüística y tratamiento automatizado de la voz en ingeniería informática. Esta colaboración permitió desarrollar análisis sistemáticos de la estructura temporal vocal de enunciados rituales del maya yucateco, con la creación de un programa de segmentación automática dedicado a esa lengua. Las segmentaciones automáticas se usaron para la medición de los cambios de tempo, de la duración de los grupos de soplo, así como para examinar su relación con la estructura textual. Con estas nuevas herramientas, se pueden verificar hipótesis relativas a los diferentes niveles de variabilidad constitutivos de los discursos rituales mayas, así como al papel que cumplen las variaciones vocales en la eficacia ritual. Se espera así contribuir a una comprensión más holística y multimodal de la acción y los discursos rituales y, a la vez, aportar nuevos datos comparativos (entre géneros discursivos y entre lenguas) para el entendimiento más general de los fenómenos de ritmicidad enunciativa.
