Description
Victoria Bricker’s study describes the grammatical structure of the hieroglyphs in the Classic inscriptions and in the Postclassic codices. It focuses on the glyphs that have, primarily, a grammatical function, describing where they are found and how they are used in the texts. The volume contains chapters on the nature of the Mayan script, pronomial inflection, U-allographs and Y-allographs of the third person pronoun, other possible pronominal glyphs, nominal inflection, verbal inflection, and syntactic considerations. It includes a transcription and translation of the back of Stela 3 from Piedras Negras.
