Autonomía, conocimiento e ideales de la educación tseltal

Abstract

This paper is part of a wide research developed to identify concepts and values related with education and autonomy in the tseltal culture of the state of Chiapas, Mexico. In a sociolinguistic perspective, the concepts have been constructed beginning with the identification of clue words and their relationships, and by making text analisis from interviews driven in different parts of the tseltal territory. In such way we noticed a variety of concepts and values given to education and autonomy in the tseltal culture.
