Uses new critical-theoretical perspectives in linguistic anthropology, and applies them to the politically charged context of contemporary Guatemala. It demonstrates how constructions of language and collective identity are in fact strategies undertaken to serve the goals of institutions and social actors. By focusing on ideologies of language, the author is able to link linguistic forms and functions with issues of consciousness, gender politics, social positions, and the forging of hegemonic power relations.
