An analysis of Amuzgo, a language within the Otomanguean family of Mexico, suggests that it is an active-static language with patterns similar but not parallel to those of Chocho. In the report, data on the characteristics of Chocho are summarized, theory and research on active-static languages is reviewed, and the data on Amuzgo are presented. The specific subareas of person-number inflection, pronouns, grammatical analysis of static verbs and their arguments, fluid subject marking, the absence of passive voice, and the application of the Universal Alignment Hypothesis to Amuzgo are considered. Further attention to the issues of morphosyntactic case-marking typology as a unifying theme for the study of Otomanguean languages, adoption of an areal perspective for the study of these languages, and enhancement of the empirical data base are recommended.
