La valoración de la lengua en hablantes bilingües náhuatl-español. Un estudio de caso / The valuation of the language in bilingual speakers (náhuatl-spanish.). A case study

2016 
The vitality of a language depends on its native speakers, but, what happens when these native speakers decide to stop using it? This article shows the first results of the study made among bilingual speakers (Nahuatl-Spanish) from the community of San Miguel Canoa, State of Puebla in Mexico, where more than 60% of the population know the Nahuatl language (National Institute of Statistics and Geography, INEGI, 2010.) At the same time, it states that the active users of the language are people over 25 years old. The analysis of this work (Appraisal Theory) shows a meaningful correlation between the loss of language (Nahuatl) and its valuation made by the native speakers.
