Cheng Dr. M. van Staden (Universiteit van Amsterdam) Prof. dr. H. Steinhauer The research reported here was conducted in the context of M.A.F. Klamer’s ‘Vernieuwingsimpuls’-project ‘Linguistic variation in Eastern Indonesia’ funded by the Dutch Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). Fieldwork in 2004 was funded by the Hans Rausing Endangered Languages Project. Acknowledgements This book is a linguistic account of an amazing journey. As a small boy I used to hear stories about Indonesia from my father’s friend who worked there and found it the most beautiful place on Earth. Later, during my studies in Nijmegen, I took courses in Indonesian and fieldwork methods, and became convinced that I could travel to those remote islands myself and describe a language. The first step of this journey started in Leiden in 2002. My whole-hearted thanks belong to those who guided me patiently along the journey, and whom, as the tradition dictates, I may not name. Many people accompanied me as the journey unfolded. In Leiden, I owe thanks to my colleagues at Leiden University Centre for Linguistics for teaching, reading, listening, good friendship, joyful company, culinary treats, and any possible combination of these. They are Alwin Kloekhorst, Amir Tauber, Anikó Liptak, Aone van Engelenhoven, Arie Verhagen, Birgitta Bexten, Boban Arsenijević, Chris Reintges, Crit Cremers, Don van Minde, Erik Schoorlemmer, Frank Landsbergen, Felix Ameka, Geert Booij, Guus Kroonen, Jenneke van der Wal, Jenny Doetjes, Jeroen van de Weijer, Joanna Sio, Johan Rooryk, Jos Pacilly, Juliette Huber, Hilke Reckman, Kateřina Součková, Kofi Dorvlo, Kristin Meier, Kristina Riedel, Leo Wong, Leston Buell, Luis Vicente, Martin Salzmann, Maarten Kossmann, Michaël Peyrot, Mika Poss, Noureddine Elouazizi, Rint Sybesma, Rob Goedemans, Ruben Stoel, Sander Steeman, Seino van Breugel, Seyoum Mulugeta, Stella Grilla, Tolemariam Fufa, Ton van der Wouden, Vincent van Heuven. I would also like to thank Nelleke Goudswaard and Wilco van den Heuvel for taking care of practical issues concerning language description. In Indonesia, I found hospitality and friends in many places. I thank Uri Tadmor for sharing his fine home in Jakarta and his colleagues at MPI Field station, Antonia Soriente and Betty Litamahuputty for a fine company. I am pleased to acknowledge the official support that I have received from MPI Field station Jakarta and in particular from Dr. Uri Tadmor as well as from Universitas Atma Jaya, Jakarta and in particular from Professor Bambang Kaswanti Purwo. I owe many thanks to Andreas Wijaya, Obing Katubi, Anisah Kortshak, Yunus Riadi Herman, Arnoldus Arif Kusuma for their friendship and merry company and to Dani Martati for her delicious cooking and care. In Kupang, June Jacob, John Haan, Flori Lake, Christo and Ben always helped me around. Universitas Kristen Arthawacana Kupang supported my research. When I stayed with Madah Biha’s family, it felt like home. I also thank Bapak Arkilaus Sabu and Elias Ndiwa and their families for their great hospitality. Once the journey reached Alor, Karsten van der Oord introduced me to the family of Chris Dani, who looked after me in Kalabahi and shared their home and delicious food. Karsten took me out for diving, bought me strong liquors, told me a lot about Alor and taught me how to chew betel nut. Sister Christa, Sister Gisela, Romo Polce and Romo Toni showed me the pure and humble face of christianity. Many thanks are directed to Andreas Malaikosa and Neil Johnston from SIL branch Alor. I also thank Daniel Bekak and Ans Takalapeta who supported my research in Alor. vi Karsten van der Oord introduced me to Timoteus, Amalia, Dori, Orpa and Simon Lanma, who took me in their family and treated me as their own. They taught me their ‘straight’ language, as they call it. They took care of me in times of illness and discomfort and made me laugh on so many occasions. I thank Benidiktus Delpada and Waksi Maufani, who carried the daily linguistic burden with me, and they carried it so well. I thank my little friends Fani, Fan Ata, Eman, Simon-Kakak, Lon-Rut, Orpa, and Peni for taking me for trips to the jungle and teaching me so many things. I also thank Nelis, Eben, Ande, Loni, Hilde, Nani, Lon Fan for being good villagers. I thank Bapak Penku, Bapak Vinsen, Bapak Maiku, Bapak Aliku, Bapak Ande, Bapa Elias, and many others for sharing their stories and language with me. They were tried to teach me the ‘straight’ Abui, but I am afraid it is still quite twisted. The first two trips I made together with Louise Baird and Peter Newman. They looked after me in many ways wherever I went or stayed: in Leiden, Indonesia, and Australia. Louise was a frustratingly hard-working officemate and a wonderful colleague. In Australia, I am grateful to Bill Foley for valuable comments on many matters, especially on generic verbs. I thank Andrew Pawley for his support and sharing his knowledge. John Hajek helped me with Abui tones. I also thank John Bowden, Mark Donohue and Gary Holton. Along the journey, I met my paranymph Floris Scheplitz. Floris accompanied me on my last trip to Alor, conducting his own ethnobotanic research. It was a true pleasure having him and Marloes around. I was blessed with the company of the gentlemen Freek Otte, Eric Thomassen, Martin Vink, Frank de Wever, and Fred Hamburg, with whom I spent many hours in De Bonte Koe and De Burcht, discussing sacral and secular issues passionately. I thank Lewis Mayo, Julian Millie, Rati and Joe, Ivana Hladká, Gershon Kaigere for their cheerful company and many nice dinners. I would like to thank my old friends Gerard van Poppel, Jasper van der Weerd, the late Sjef van Tilborg, Tim Sparla, Tom Willems, Ineke de Kort, Lisette Crooijmans, Kees van Dongen and Mieke Hoedemakers (with Berend and Willem) in Nijmegen; Roy van Rijt en Hilde Beurskens in Haelen; Klaas en Anja Visser in Beemster; Kitty, Marino, Sjoerd (and octopuses), Tijs, and Bas in Rijen; Kamila Krupičková, Johan Deknopper, Fred Stroobants in Belgium, Martijn Cooijmans in London; and Tomáš Langášek and Michal Kramář in the Czech Republic, for always being there even when I was not there. Reinoud, Rienje and Jan visited me in Takalelang and cooked me plenty good dinners. Thomas made it to Alor only in the belly, but was our companion in all the following adventures. The Eastern European connection was taken care of by Boban Arsenijević, my second paranymph, and his graceous company Dunce and Lidija. He appreciates generic verbs, slivowitz, absurdity and melodramatic sentiment and knows that without these, one gets easily lost, being far from one’s homeland. Joanna Sio became another eastern connection. She taught me to appreciate general knowlegde, food-related metaphors and convinced me to move to Hong Kong. Joanna helped me through the last months of writing this book. At the end of a proper journey, one should go home. I thank my family in the Czech Republic for allowing me to go and learn that villages on the other side of this planet are not that different from Dobroutov, the little village where we come from. I remember those who passed away while I was not there.

  • Governing New Guinea New
    Governing New Guinea New Guinea Governing An oral history of Papuan administrators, 1950-1990 Governing For the first time, indigenous Papuan administrators share their experiences in governing their country with an inter- national public. They were the brokers of development. After graduating from the School for Indigenous Administrators New Guinea (OSIBA) they served in the Dutch administration until 1962. The period 1962-1969 stands out as turbulent and dangerous, Leontine Visser (Ed) and has in many cases curbed professional careers. The politi- cal and administrative transformations under the Indonesian governance of Irian Jaya/Papua are then recounted, as they remained in active service until retirement in the early 1990s. The book brings together 17 oral histories of the everyday life of Papuan civil servants, including their relationship with superiors and colleagues, the murder of a Dutch administrator, how they translated ‘development’ to the Papuan people, the organisation of the first democratic institutions, and the actual political and economic conditions leading up to the so-called Act of Free Choice. Finally, they share their experiences in the UNTEA and Indonesian government organisation. Leontine Visser is Professor of Development Anthropology at Wageningen University. Her research focuses on governance and natural resources management in eastern Indonesia. Leontine Visser (Ed.)

These languages are surrounded by unrelated Austronesian languages, and attempts to locate related languages have focused on Papuan languages 800 km or more distant. In this paper we examine three hypotheses for genealogical relatedness, drawing on both pronominal and especially lexical evidence. We rely in particular on recent reconstructions of proto-Alor-Pantar vocabulary. Of the hypotheses evaluated here, we find the most striking similarities between TAP and the West Bomberai family.

The primary product of this research is an annotated corpus of audio and video recordings covering a range of genre and speech styles. All field data has been archived digitally following current best practice recommendations. Secondary products include a tri-lingual dictionary and a reference grammar. The use of aligned text and audio and the publication of a media corpus will ensure the future researchers have maximal access to original field data. The Pantar region remains one of the least documented linguistic areas in Indonesia, and almost no documentary information has previously been available for Western Pantar and many of the other non-Austronesian languages of Pantar. Through the use of best-practice language documentation techniques to create an enduring record of the language, the documentation produced by this project will broadly impact linguistic science, providing crucial typological data from a little-known part of the world’s linguistic landscape.

  • 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.

  • Posterior Affricate in Mee and Consonant-Vowel Place Interactions Peter Staroverov and Soren¨ Tebay Wayne State University and Universitat¨ Leipzig
    Posterior Affricate in Mee and Consonant-Vowel Place Interactions Peter Staroverov and Soren¨ Tebay Wayne State University and Universitat¨ Leipzig 1 Introduction Velar laterals are a rare class of sounds that involve posterior closure and lateral release (Ladefoged et al., 1977; Blevins, 1994; Franc¸ois, 2010). This article documents the realization of a velar lateral in Mee (a.k.a. Ekari, Ekagi, Kapauku) – a Paniai Lakes Nuclear Trans New Guinea language spoken in the Indonesian part of Papua New Guinea (Doble, 1962; Steltenpool, 1969; Doble, 1987; Hyman & Kobepa, 2013). In the speech of our consultants, the velar lateral exhibits a previously undocumented pattern of allophony: it appears as expected [gÏ] before front vowels, but is realized with uvular closure and fricative release, i.e. [åK] before back vowels. Perhaps owing to the rare occurrence of velar laterals, there are few phonetically detailed descriptions of these sounds (Ladefoged et al., 1977; Steed & Hardie, 2004; Franc¸ois, 2010, 2011), and to our knowledge this is the first report of velar lateral allophony based on vowel frontness, and one of the few reports of voiced uvular affricates (cf. Chirkova & Chen (2013) on a marginal sound in Xumi). Unlike velar laterals in other languages, the Mee sound always has a discernible closure phase, and our acoustic data suggest that vowel frontness has an effect on both the closure and release of this sound. This pattern is best described by assuming that the major place of articulation of Mee posterior consonant alternates with vowel frontness. This finding thus presents a challenge to the idea that only V-place or secondary articulation features are involved in consonant-vowel interactions (N´ı Chiosain´ & Padgett, 1993; Padgett, 2011).
