  abstract       = {This work presents a classification of Zenzontepec Chatino (ZEN) verbs based on which allomorphs of aspect markers they select. The selection depends on several interrelated factors including verbal semantics, valency, derivational morphology, and phonological factors, but it is partly lexically determined. Until now, aspect marking in Chatino has defied concise description (Rasch 2002 and Pride 2004) because previously documented varieties have undergone considerable phonological and morphological reduction, wiping out some of the earlier systematic patterns. ZEN, on the other hand, is conservative in these respects. In addition to describing the ZEN verb classes in synchronic terms, I demonstrate that they line up well with Kaufman's (1987) proposed verb classes for Zapotec and Proto-Zapotec. With slight modification, Kaufman's system applies to Proto-Zapotecan, the parent language of Zapotec and Chatino. The basic system has remained stable through time, despite elaborations and innovations in the individual languages. This study also documents in Chatino several derivational morphemes and a progressive aspect prefix reconstructed for Proto-Zapotec (Kaufman 1993), showing that they are of Proto-Zapotecan vintage.},
