Can an action have a definite end if we don't know the exact quantity? In Spanish, the particle 'se' can mark a completed action, as in "Pedro se comió una galleta" (he ate up the cookie). But what about "unas galletas" (some cookies)?

Planning to collect speech data? Think ahead: without preservation, countless voices have already been lost forever. For examples of how to do it right, this article is essential: doi.org/10.25189/267...
A beige background graphic styled for social media. At the top, in small uppercase letters, it reads: READ IN CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA. Below, in larger bold font, there is the question: What precautions should I take with the speech data I collect for my research? A horizontal line separates the question from the answer. The answer is written in smaller text: It is crucial to plan from the outset how the data will be preserved and shared. In the past, many speech interviews were kept only on tapes or in personal archives, without any preservation plan, and were lost forever when researchers left academia — leading to the irreversible disappearance of voices and unique linguistic records. The words preserved and shared are highlighted in light pink. In the lower left corner, there is a small minimalist logo with four radiating lines.

Light-blue card with text from Cadernos de Linguística. Header: “OPEN REVIEW | CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA”. Bold title: “PUBLIC REVIEW – Mary Kate Kelly”. The text reads: “While this paper’s focus is on one seemingly simple dichotomy the implications of a detailed analysis are significant. Investigating this one distinction has illuminated a set of social motivations and implications in a historical era. This tool for understanding sociolinguistic distributions and motivations for change can help us better understand the sociopolitical landscape of an ancient Indigenous context.” At the bottom: “Excerpt from a review of Historical Sociolinguistics of the Classic Maya Lowlands, by Mora-Marín, D. (2025).”

Some highlight contact; others stress support against gravity and the branch’s control of the apple’s position. The scene is the same; the linguistic framing changes.” A small black decorative icon appears in the lower left corner.

The picture contrasts Classic Mayan inscriptions: left, diplomatic phrases; right, non-diplomatic ones.
It shows how the old preposition tä (in/at/with) gave way to the newer ti—with ti clustering in diplomacy and tä lingering in non-diplomatic use. Politics affected grammar.
doi.org/10.25189/267...
Black-and-white drawings of six Classic Maya glyphs arranged in two columns. The three glyphs on the left column represent diplomatic contexts: “in his presence” (top), “he saw it” (middle), and “with him/her” (bottom). The three glyphs on the right column represent non-diplomatic contexts: “he oversaw it” (top), “was chopped” (middle), and “was seized” (bottom). The image is used to illustrate how the old preposition tä and the newer ti appear differently in diplomatic versus non-diplomatic inscriptions.
