Abstract This article takes a linguistic anthropological approach to analyzing multilingualism in the linguistic landscape of the Amazonian city of Tena, Ecuador, a key locus of indigenous Kichwa language revitalization, identity formation, and politics. Following recent scholarly reconsiderations of multilingual linguistic landscapes as sites of ideological contestation and performative display, I seek to expand on the foundational concept of ethnolinguistic vitality. Building on an analysis of shifting materiality and semiotics of bilingual Kichwa-Spanish hospital signs, I argue for the use of longitudinal and deep ethnographic study of public sign-making in progress to identify oppositional struggles over ethnolinguistic authority, or control of authorship in displays of ethnolinguistic presence. In Tena, Kichwa-language signage represents a new venue for the decolonization of politics, the performance of indigeneity, and the centralization of state power, which are expressed through competing visions by agents with distinct ideological orientations toward language. I submit ethnolinguistic authority as a critical concern for the ethnographic study of public inscriptions of minority languages, which reflect contrasting ideologies of language, notions of group identity, and claims to representational sovereignty.

刻画土著性:亚马逊河厄瓜多尔语言环境中的民族语言权威

摘要本文采用语言人类学方法来分析厄瓜多尔亚马逊河市Tena的语言环境中的多语种主义,这是土著Kichwa语言复兴,身份形成和政治发展的关键所在。在最近学者对多语种语言环境作为意识形态竞争和表演展示的场所进行的重新思考之后,我寻求扩展民族语言生命力的基本概念。我在分析双语的Kichwa-Spanish医院标志的重要性和符号学变化的基础上,主张对进行中的公共标志制定进行纵向和深度的人种学研究,以发现对民族语言权威的反对斗争,或对显示著作权的控制。民族语言的存在。在特纳,基希瓦语语言标志代表着政治非殖民化,本土化表现和国家权力集中化的新场所,这些表现是通过对语言有不同意识形态取向的特工通过相互竞争的观点来表达的。对于少数民族语言的公共铭文的人种学研究,我认为民族语言学权威是至关重要的,民族语言学研究反映了语言的意识形态,群体认同的概念以及主张主权的主张之间的对比。
