Wolves came back to France—and with them, a battle of meanings. Were they returning naturally or reintroduced by humans? This study follows how such stories grow, collide, and fade, showing that every social conflict begins as a fight over meaning.

Drawing on years of research on Mayan languages and writing systems, David Mora-Marín examines how a linguistic change in Classic Mayan inscriptions connects to diplomacy and social life.
Read his new article: doi.org/10.25189/267...

Card from Cadernos de Linguística introducing author David Mora-Marín. At the top, text reads “MEET THE AUTHOR | CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA.” Below is a round photo of David Mora-Marín, with short dark hair, beard, glasses, and a friendly expression. His name appears in bold, followed by a short bio in English stating he is a linguistic anthropologist specializing in the cultural and linguistic history of Mesoamerica, with research on Mayan historical linguistics, hieroglyphic texts, language variation, Mesoamerican writing systems, and comparative studies with Mije-Sokean and Chibchan families. It ends noting he teaches at UNC. The background is beige with minimalist design.
