Parallelism and ellipsis in Chatino speech: The borders of poetry and grammar

A handout of a talk given at the conference Symposium About Language and Society - Austin (SALSA) 28: Speech Play and Verbal Art: A Conference in Honor of Joel Sherzer held March 26-28, 2010. The paper marks an early demonstration of the frame tag as a method for describing Quiahije Chatino's rhetorical device of parallelism and ellipsis. This research was continued by the first author and culminated in her Ph.D. dissertation.
