Linguistic purist ideologies circulate widely on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. Yucatec Maya speakers differentiate a ‘pure,” “authentic” Maya located in the past from a “mixed,” “corrupted” Maya located in the present. Today, the ideologically “pure,” “authentic” Maya of the past, jach maaya, is gaining a new center of authenticity in the present through its increasing institutionalization. This project is doubly modern in its temporal rupture, which engages the past as authentic and enduring, and rupture with society, which rejects vernacular Maya for institutionally authoritative language practices, produced largely through the science of linguistics. Authenticating jach maaya today through increased institutionalization holds implications for Maya speakers’ livelihoods, vernacular language practices, and understandings of Maya‐ness, as well as for the future of these.

双重认证和双重现代性：今天尤卡坦半岛的玛雅玛雅制度化

语言的纯粹主义者意识形态在墨西哥的尤卡坦半岛上广为流传。Yucatec Maya讲者将过去的“纯”，“真实”的Maya与现在的“混合”，“腐败”的Maya区别开来。今天，过去意识形态上的“纯粹”，“真实”的玛雅人贾赫·马亚（Jach maaya）通过日益制度化而获得了新的真实性中心。该项目的时间断裂是双重现代的，它使过去成为真实和持久的事物，而与社会的断裂则拒绝了当地的玛雅人进行机构权威的语言实践，而后者主要是通过语言学而产生的。如今，通过加强制度化来认证jach maaya会对玛雅人的生活，当地语言习惯以及对玛雅性的理解产生影响，
