Discourse is dynamic and emergent, yet certain elements of discourse can appear remarkably stable, enduring across centuries. This discursive inertia gives us evidence of discourse in the past, allowing us to put current discursive moments in a longue durée context. Discursive inertia also begs avenues of investigation in its own right. We here discuss the common poetic patterns of chiasmus and difrasismo on one branch of the Mayan language family, consisting of Classic Mayan, documented in hieroglyphic inscriptions, Colonial Ch'olti’, and contemporary Ch'orti’ Mayan. Texts from these languages share poetic discourse that speak to the long perseverance of discursive patterns.

杜蕾剧院中的话语：玛雅诗性惯性观

话语是动态的和新兴的，但是话语的某些元素可以显得非常稳定，并持续了多个世纪。这种话语惯性为我们提供了过去话语的证据，使我们能够将当前的话语时刻放在一个长篇幅的语境中。话语惯性本身也就产生了调查的途径。我们在这里讨论玛雅语言家族的一个分支上的希亚斯木斯和difrasismo的诗意模式，其中包括以象形文字题词记载的经典玛雅人，殖民地Ch'olti'和当代Ch'orti'Mayan。这些语言的文字共享诗意的话语，这说明了话语模式的长期坚持。
