Abstract Booklet Indonesian Languages And Abstract Booklet Indonesian Languages and Linguistics: State of the Field 16-18 February 2020 Center for Language and Cultural Studies Atma Jaya Catholic University Jakarta 2020 PREFACE Indonesian Languages and Linguistics: State of the Field The linguistic landscape of Indonesia is rich and dynamic. Home to about 700 languages, roughly ten percent of the languages of the world, it offers a wonderful case study for language documentation, multilingualism, emerging new varieties, and, sadly, concerns about language endangerment. Remarkably, in a span of less than 100 years, Indonesian has emerged as a major world language spoken as a first or second language by some 260 million people. Standard Indonesian has been instantiated and developed as a national language, resulting in an increasing number of Indonesians reporting use of Indonesian as a primary language. Along the way, Indonesian has been in contact with hundreds of other languages of Indonesia (both Austronesian and non-Austronesian), colonial languages, as well as a range of other Malay and Malay-based varieties spoken as lingua francas throughout the archipelago. The outcomes of language contact across Indonesia are varied. In some instances, increased knowledge and use of Indonesian is implicated in a shift toward monolingualism and growing endangerment of the local languages of Indonesia, many of which are under- described and under-documented. At the same time, some language varieties are maintained, and yet new varieties (colloquial spoken varieties, regional koines, creoles, and pidgins) are emerging, shifting the multilingual landscape and the socio-indexical features of different language varieties. The study of linguistics in the Indonesian context is thus largely centered on the focal areas that emerge from the above: language documentation and description, language use in multilingual contexts, language endangerment and vitality, and emerging varieties of spoken Indonesian. Studying the languages of Indonesia in a multifaceted way provides not only critical insight into this rich linguistic landscape, it also offers an opportunity to inform the field of linguistics relevant to the understanding of language ecologies and broader trends in language change and use. We will use these four areas as focal points for the conference as we aim to understand the current state of the field and look to its future, exploring questions such as: Language documentation and description • What is the state of language documentation and description of the languages of Indonesia, including new varieties? • How does documentation contribute to language description and linguistic typology and vice versa? i • What are the best practices for documenting and describing the languages of Indonesia? o How can linguists best collaborate with native speakers and/or local communities in language documentation projects? How do our linguistic projects benefit local communities? o What do local communities need and expect from linguists when they collaborate in a documentation project? o How do we treat variation within the target language? Language use in multilingual contexts • How can we characterize the shifting multilingual landscape of Indonesia, both synchronically and diachronically? What is the relationship between language and identity in different communities in Indonesia? • What are the language ideologies in Indonesia associated with multilingualism and multilingual language use? • What are the roles of different languages in different contexts and for different social groups in Indonesia? Language endangerment and vitality • How should we think about language endangerment and shift in the context of Indonesia? • What are the factors that support the maintenance of local languages and what factors accelerate language shift? • How can we characterize language endangerment scenarios in Indonesia? • What models of language maintenance or revitalization do we have in Indonesia? Emerging varieties of spoken Indonesian • How can we provide much needed documentation of emerging spoken varieties? Are there shared features of emerging varieties that are unexpected cross-linguistically? • Are emerging varieties of spoken Indonesian stable? And what is the interaction between regional/emerging Indonesian varieties and established Malay, Malayic, and Malay-based varieties? • What is the role of a suprastratal language that has few to no native speakers? What role do new regional koines play in local language ecologies? ii We also hope to address a few broader questions including: • What are the role and the form of standard Indonesian today 90 years after standardization? • What are the particular challenges of doing linguistics in Indonesia? • In what way is the Indonesian situation comparable/unique cross- linguistically?

We first present the rich linguistic and biological diversity of this region, which is of significant interest in typological and theoretical linguistics and language documentation. We then discuss certain central educational issues in relation to human resources, infrastructures, and institutional support, critical for high quality research and documentation. We argue that the issues are multidimensional and complex across all levels, posing sociocultural challenges in capacity-building programs. Finally, we reflect on the significance of the participation oflocal fieldworkers and communities and their contextual training. 1. Introduction In this paper, we reflect on linguistic fieldwork and language documentation in Eastern Indonesia. By “Eastern Indonesia,” we mean the region that stretches from Nusa Tenggara to Papua,1 including Nusa Tenggara Timur, Sulawesi, and Maluku. This region is linguistically one of the most diverse regions in the world interms of the number of unrelated languages and their structural properties, further discussed in the next section. This is the region where Nikolaus Himmelmann has done his linguistic 1The term “Papua” is potentially confusing because it is used in two senses.

    Franz Mueller LANGUAGE AND STATE POWER CSUF Linguistics Colloquium THE INEVITABLE RISE OF MALAY October 30, 2020 THE RISE OF MALAY Historically, Malay began as the indigenous language of the eastern peat forest areas on the island of Sumatra. Today, Malay has grown into one of the largest languages in the world, with over 250 million users. Remarkable because Malay never was the largest language in the area (Javanese, Sundanese) nor was it centrally located. Inevitable because whenever it counted, there was no alternative. LANGUAGE SIZE: FACTORS Endangered languages: Factors that lead to endangerment (Brenzinger 1991) Discussion of factors that make a language large have focused on individual speaker choice Today’s point: Languages grow large primarily as a result of them being adopted & promoted by a powerful state Speaker take-up is an epiphenomenon of that.

    Comparing orthography design in Barayin (Chad) and Kodi (Indonesia) Joseph Lovestrand University of Oxford England Abstract— This research stems from the emergence of a problem which is the lack of knowledge of millennial children about folklore from their respective regions, especially children in Southeast Sulawesi. Preservation of folklore which is one part of traditional literature is very important because one of the functions of folklore is as children's character education. One of the folklores from Southeast Sulawesi that needs to be preserved is “Tula-Tula Metulungino Mie Kodosa folklore” originating from Muna. The purpose of this study was to determine the character education contained in Tula-Tula Metulungino Mie Kodosa folklore. This research is a literature study. The method used is descriptive qualitative method. The source of the research data comes from the book, Buton and Muna Folklore in Southeast Sulawesi, which was published by the Ministry of Education and Culture in the Language Development and Language Development Center in 1998 in Jakarta, 144 pages thick. The result showed that character education contained in the Tula-Tula Metulungino Mie Kodosa folklore, that is helpful, kind, patient, and never give up. This folklore is important for millenial generation in digital era because it educates them to have good characters and helpfull in preventing the folklore extinction. Keywords— Character education, Muna Folklore, Tula-Tula Metulungino Mie Kodosa 1 Introduction It is estimated that half of the world’s 7000 languages, including half of Indonesia’s 700 languages, are on the path to extinction [1]. With the loss of these languages, the unique cultural heritage expressed in each language is also likely to disappear, as well as any traditional knowledge its speakers hold.

  • Information Structure in Sembiran Balinese I Wayan Arka Australian National University / Universitas Udayana I Nyoman Sedeng Universitas Udayana
    Chapter 5 Information structure in Sembiran Balinese I Wayan Arka Australian National University / Universitas Udayana I Nyoman Sedeng Universitas Udayana This paper discusses the information structure in Sembiran Balinese, an endangered, con- servative mountain dialect of Balinese. It presents the first detailed description of the ways topic, focus and frame setter in this language interact with each other and with other ele- ments in grammar. It is demonstrated that Sembiran Balinese employs combined strategies that exploit structural positions, morpho-lexical and syntactic resources in grammar. The description is based on a well-defined set of categories of information structure using three semantic-discourse/pragmatic features of [+/−salient], [+/−given] and [+/−contrast]. This novel approach allows for the in-depth exploration of the information structure space in Sembiran Balinese. The paper also highlights the empirical-theoretical contributions ofthe findings in terms of the significance of local socio-cultural context, and the conception of information structural prominence in grammatical theory. 1 Introduction Sembiran Balinese is one of the endangered conservative dialects of Balinese (i.e. Bali Aga, or Mountain Balinese). It is spoken by around 4,500 speakers in the mountainous village of Sembiran in northern Bali.1 Sembiran Balinese has a similar morphosyntax to Plains, or Dataran Balinese, but it is different in that it lacks the speech level system characteristics of Plains Balinese.2 The noticeable difference is therefore related tothe lexical stock, including the pronominal system, which is discussed in §2. 1SBD should be distinguished from the Plains Balinese dialect, which lexically has been influenced by many other languages, namely, Javanese, Sanskrit, English, Arabic and Indonesian.

    Cross-Lingual Machine Speech Chain for Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese, and Bataks Speech Recognition and Synthesis Sashi Novitasari1, Andros Tjandra1, Sakriani Sakti1;2, Satoshi Nakamura1;2 1Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan 2RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project AIP, Japan fsashi.novitasari.si3, tjandra.ai6, ssakti,[email protected] Abstract Even though over seven hundred ethnic languages are spoken in Indonesia, the available technology remains limited that could support communication within indigenous communities as well as with people outside the villages. As a result, indigenous communities still face isolation due to cultural barriers; languages continue to disappear. To accelerate communication, speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) technology is one approach that can overcome language barriers. However, S2ST systems require machine translation (MT), speech recognition (ASR), and synthesis (TTS) that rely heavily on supervised training and a broad set of language resources that can be difficult to collect from ethnic communities. Recently, a machine speech chain mechanism was proposed to enable ASR and TTS to assist each other in semi-supervised learning. The framework was initially implemented only for monolingual languages. In this study, we focus on developing speech recognition and synthesis for these Indonesian ethnic languages: Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese, and Bataks. We first separately train ASR and TTS of standard Indonesian in supervised training. We then develop ASR and TTS of ethnic languages by utilizing Indonesian ASR and TTS in a cross-lingual machine speech chain framework with only text or only speech data removing the need for paired speech-text data of those ethnic languages. Keywords: Indonesian ethnic languages, cross-lingual approach, machine speech chain, speech recognition and synthesis.

  • Philippine Voice and Split Absolutive Syntax Brodkin
    Philippine Voice and Split Absolutive Syntax Brodkin Philippine Voice and Split Absolutive Syntax Dan Brodkin May 28, 2021 Voice Systems The “Philippine-type” languages of the Philippines, Taiwan, and Indonesia show voice systems. • They have an ‘Agent Voice’ construction, where the external argument is absolutive. av;ext • This contrasts with a ‘Patient Voice’ construction, where the internal argument is. pv; int In many languages, voice also interacts with Ā-extraction and the definiteness of the int. (1) South Sulawesi: the Voice System1 a. Mam-baca=a’ buku. b. U-baca=i iting buku. av-read=1abs book 1eRg-read=3abs that book ‘I’m reading a book.’ ‘I read that book.’ Mandar Across these languages, the absolutive argument (“pivot”) shows systematic hierarchical privilege. This pattern has led to near-consensus that this argument sits above all others in theclause. Guilfoyle et al. 1992; Aldridge 2004; Rackowski & Richards 2005; Hsieh 2020 The Proposal Nevertheless, there is little agreement over the position of the absolutive and the nature of its movement. In today’s talk, I argue for a “High-Licensing” analysis: (Guilfoyle et al., 1992; Brodkin & Royer, 2021) § ¤ 0 ¦The absolutive argument undergoes a-movement to spec,tp as a result of licensing byt . ¥ This view allows these languages to be understood through the lens of “High-Absolutive” syntax. The Licensing Prediction The central insight of this model is that the absolutive argument cannot be licensed belowt0. This logic leads to a systematic prediction about any language which shows this syntax: § ¤ 0 ¦When t is unavailable, such a language must resort to a special strategy to license arguments.

Such questions have been largely based on Enggano’s lexicon, which shows little trace of an Austronesian heritage. In this paper, I examine a wider range of evidence and show that Enggano is clearly an Austronesian language of the Malayo-Polynesian (MP) subgroup. This is achieved through the establishment of regular sound correspondences between Enggano and Proto‒Malayo-Polynesian reconstructions in both the bound morphology and lexicon. I conclude by examining the possible relations of Enggano within MP and show that there is no good evidence of innovations shared between Enggano and any other MP language or subgroup. In the absence of such shared innovations, Enggano should be considered one of several primary branches of MP. 1. INTRODUCTION.1 Enggano is an Austronesian language spoken on the southernmost of the Barrier Islands off the west coast of the island of Sumatra in Indo- nesia; its location is marked by an arrow on map 1. The genetic position of Enggano has remained controversial and unresolved to this day. Two proposals regarding the genetic classification of Enggano have been made: 1.
