ABOUT NORA'S WORK
Nora England is a specialist in anthropological linguistics whose scholarship and educational efforts among the Maya of Guatemala have contributed to Mayan ethnic revitalization.
Over the past twenty years, England has trained more than 100 indigenous Mayan linguists, who are now working in education, applied linguistics, and development. Often limited by their impoverished, agrarian backgrounds, the Maya people have frequently been excluded from higher education and professions by an ethnic division of labor that marginalizes native peoples. England’s students are among the first generation of Maya who have had any significant post-high-school education. England has written A Grammar of Mam, A Mayan Language (1983) and edits the Journal of Mayan Linguistics and Papers in Mayan Linguistics. Her books include Autonomâia de los Idiomas Mayas: Historia e Identidad (1992) and Maya’ Chii’: Los Idiomas Mayas de Guatemala (1993), both published by the Mayan press, Cholsamaj.

在过去的二十年里，英格兰培训了100多名玛雅原住民语言学家，他们现在从事教育、应用语言学和发展工作。 玛雅人往往受到他们贫穷的农业背景的限制，经常被边缘化原住民的民族分工排斥在高等教育和专业领域之外。 英格兰的学生是第一代接受过任何重要的高中后教育的玛雅人之一。 英格兰撰写了《玛雅语言的语法》（1983年），并编辑了《玛雅语言学杂志》和《玛雅语言学论文》。 她的书包括《玛雅语言的自主性：历史与身份》（Autonomâia de los Idiomas Mayas: Historia e Identidad）（1992年）和《玛雅语》。危地马拉玛雅语》（1993），均由玛雅出版社Cholsamaj出版。
