In the Saliba dialect spoken in Sawasawaga, the pitch does not vary a lot on the sentence level. Most prominent is the falling pitch at the end of all clauses. This is the same for statements, commands, and questions. Only when people speak more slowly does their speech exhibit a more elaborate melody; but the pitch still falls at the end of every type of clause. Duration (Length) Duration (length) is not a contrastive feature in Saliba. The data do not yield any example for contrastive vowel length. Typically every syllable in a stretch of speech between pauses receives the same amount of time, typically between 80 and 120 milliseconds. Only the stressed syllables of words that are central to the meaning of the clause are lengthened to about double the length of the ordinary syllable. Stress The stressable element in Saliba is the syllable, not a single mora in a syllable. Stressed syllables are perceptually more prominent by greater duration and/or intensity, and/or higher pitch. Instrumental analysis shows that these three factors do not always coincide. There are different stress assignment constraints for verbs and nouns, and some of the other word classes are never stressed. For verbs, in at least 80% of the cases the stress falls on the penultimate syllable of the word, but heavy syllables tend to attract the primary stress. For nouns with lexical roots of three or more light syllables, about 70% of them have stress falling on the first syllable, and about 30% on the penultimate syllable. In lexical stems without suffixes, usually every second syllable preceding the primary stress receives secondary stress. This tendency is true for nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Saliba OPD Printed: September 6, 2004 Page 4 Grammatical prefixes like subject agreement markers and reduplication do not influence stress assignment. Subject agreement markers, e.g. ya ‘1SG’, ku ‘2SG’, kwa ‘2PL’, are not stressed. Reduplication can receive secondary stress according to the pattern mentioned in the previous paragraph. Suffixes tend to pull the primary stress to the right, but not the secondary stress(es), so that there can be three syllables between the secondary and the primary stress in inflected words. The object agreement suffix -gomiu ‘2PL’ always receives the primary stress on its first syllable. Some word classes ordinarily do not receive stress. e.g. the determiners like ta ‘this here’, ne ‘that there’, wa ‘that (not visible)’. Possessive words, e.g. kana ‘his’, yodi ‘their’, are unstressed when they occur with their head noun. When they occur by themselves, they function as nouns, and receive stress accordingly, on the penultimate syllable. Syllable Patterns The syllable is defined by vowel nucleus. Surface syllable patterns are as follows: Syllable Example Example Pattern V e.na ‘POSTPOSITION’ i.ha.gu ‘my in-law’ VV ai.ya.ni ‘corrugated iron’ Au.li.li ‘(name of a man)’ CV ma.ta.gu ‘my eye’ wa.ga ‘boat’ CVV ye kai.ka.la.si ‘it bites’ yau.mai ‘wind’ CVm lam.na ‘root’ te.nem ‘that’ Conventions: Phonological Lateral Approximant /l/ The phoneme /l/ is realised as [] or [], which are in free fluctuation. The choice of one or the other is entirely left to the individual, even though the more commonly used allophone is the flapped ‘r’ []. For this phoneme we chose the letter /l/ because this is the preferred orthographic sign for the phoneme. Glottal Stop The glottal stop is a phoneme only word-medially, while all word-initial vowels are preceded by phonetic a glottal stop (Obligatory Glottal Stop Onset). Glides Our analysis led us to define the glides [j] and [w] as phonemes /j/ and /w/, respectively. While there are many occurrences where the glide is predictable according to the universal tendency, there are many other words where the glide can only be a phoneme: 1. There is contrast of words in which a high vowel is followed by the corresponding glide, and words where the high vowel before the glide is lacking, e.g. nauwa ‘tidal current’ vs. nawalai ‘moon, month’, and sibauwa ‘widower’ vs. se bawa1 ‘they stay’. The only way to account for the contrasts is to assume a phonological segment for each phonetic segment. 2. Defining the glides as phonemes satisfies the preference for syllables with onsets in other than word-initial positions. 1 The se in this example is a subject agreement marker prefix. While phonologically part of the verb, we write it separately in our orthography. Saliba OPD Printed: September 6, 2004 Page 5 3. The reduplication rule demands for the first two moraic segments with their syllable onset(s) to be reduplicated. If [] were an allophone of the phoneme //, one would first have to take away its syllabicity. There is however no simple rule that could do that which would not also change the very common diphthongs // and //. Conventions: Orthographic Following the preference of the Saliba people and the orthographies of surrounding languages, we chose <l> for the phoneme /l/. In speaking, however, <l> is pronounced [] by most people. People would read <r> following the English pronounciation. The glottal stop is written < ' > only when it is a phoneme, i.e. word-medially, e.g. ya he’a’a ‘I clean’, and po’opo’o ‘round’. The glides // and // are written even in cases where they are predictable, such as iyala ‘fight’, nauwa ‘tidal current’, and sibauwa ‘widower’. The only exception is that orthographically, between // and //, the glide is not written: niu ‘coconut’, komiu ‘second person plural independent pronoun’. Word breaks are inserted (1) between words; (2) between the subject agreement prefix and the stem of the verb; (3) in compound stems, between two roots if either one is longer than two syllables; and (4) before the second person plural object agreement suffix -gomiu.

  • Austronesian Paths and Journeys
    AUSTRONESIAN PATHS AND JOURNEYS AUSTRONESIAN PATHS AND JOURNEYS EDITED BY JAMES J. FOX TO THE MEMORY OF MARSHALL D. SAHLINS We would like to dedicate this volume to the memory of Marshall Sahlins who was a brilliantly productive and remarkably insightful ‘Austronesianist’. His Social Stratification in Polynesia was an early, important and provocative comparative study (1958); his Moala: Culture and Nature on a Fijian Island (1962) was a major ethnographic monograph of lasting value; and his Islands of History (1985) was an interpretive analysis that gave global significance to events in the history of the Pacific. His influence was profound on both students and colleagues. We have all learned much from him and his work.

  • Galeya Language Group
    DigitalResources Electronic Survey Report 2015-022 The Sociolinguistic Situation of the Galeya Language Group Philip Lambrecht, Alison Kassell, and Margaret Potter The Sociolinguistic Situation of the Galeya Language Group Philip Lambrecht, Alison Kassell, Margaret Potter SIL International® 2015 SIL Electronic Survey Report 2015-022, October 2015 © 2015 SIL International® All rights reserved 1 2 Abstract Between 13 February and 12 March 2004, the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) conducted a survey of the Galeya language, which is spoken on the east coast of Fergusson Island in Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea. The goals of the survey were (1) to identify dialect boundaries within the language; (2) to investigate language vitality, particularly as indicated by language change and bilingualism; and (3) to determine the extent to which the Galeya people could potentially participate in the development of their language, based on levels of education in the area. The team conducted sociolinguistic interviews to assess vitality, used self-evaluation questionnaires to evaluate proficiency in Dobu and English, and elicited wordlists for lexicostatistical comparison. Four distinct dialects (Galeya, Basima, Ulua, and Gameta) were identified, but all four dialects can reportedly understand the central Basima dialect. The Galeya language appears to be vital, and there are educated individuals in the area who could potentially be involved in language development.

  • Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands
    Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands First compiled by Nancy Sack and Gwen Sinclair Updated by Nancy Sack Current to January 2020 Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands Background An inquiry from a librarian in Micronesia about how to identify subject headings for the Pacific islands highlighted the need for a list of authorized Library of Congress subject headings that are uniquely relevant to the Pacific islands or that are important to the social, economic, or cultural life of the islands. We reasoned that compiling all of the existing subject headings would reveal the extent to which additional subjects may need to be established or updated and we wish to encourage librarians in the Pacific area to contribute new and changed subject headings through the Hawai‘i/Pacific subject headings funnel, coordinated at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.. We captured headings developed for the Pacific, including those for ethnic groups, World War II battles, languages, literatures, place names, traditional religions, etc. Headings for subjects important to the politics, economy, social life, and culture of the Pacific region, such as agricultural products and cultural sites, were also included. Scope Topics related to Australia, New Zealand, and Hawai‘i would predominate in our compilation had they been included. Accordingly, we focused on the Pacific islands in Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia (excluding Hawai‘i and New Zealand). Island groups in other parts of the Pacific were also excluded. References to broader or related terms having no connection with the Pacific were not included. Overview This compilation is modeled on similar publications such as Music Subject Headings: Compiled from Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Subject Headings in Jewish Studies.
