" What have you learned about the ceremonies?" Back in the Summer of. 7973, when I first began research on Arizona Tewa, I was often asked such questions by a variety of villagers. I found this strange, even disconcerting, since the questions persisted after I explained my research interest as residing in the language" itself', or in" just the language, not the culture". My academic advisors and a scholarly tradition encouraged me to attribute this response to a combination of secrecy and suspicion regarding such culturally sensitive topics as ceremonial language. Yet despite my careful attempts to disclaim any research interest in kiva speech (te'e hi: li) and to carefully distinguish between it and the more mundane speech of everyday Arizona Tewa life, I still experienced these periodic questionings. Did these questions betray a native confusion of the language of the kiva with that of the home and plaza? Was there a connection between these forms of discourse that was apparent to most Tewa villagers yet hidden from me? In the past few years, after almost two decades of undertaking various studies of fuizona Tewa grammar, sociolinguistic variation, language contact, traditional nanatives, code-switching, and chanted announcements, an underlying pattern of language use has gradually emerged which, via the documentary method of interpretation has allowed me to attribute a new meaning to these early intenogations. 2 The disparate linguistic and discourse practices, I contend, display a common pattern of influence from te'e hi: li" kiva speech". The more explicit rules for language use in ritual performance provide local models for the generation and anluation of more mundane speech forms and verbal practices.
