  • 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.

  • KUOT a Non-Austronesian Language of New Ireland, Papua New Guinea
    Topics in the grammar of KUOT a non-Austronesian language of New Ireland, Papua New Guinea Eva Lindström PhD dissertation Department of Linguistics, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm Doctoral dissertation 2002 Department of Linguistics Stockholms universitet 106 91 Stockholm Sweden © 2002 Eva Lindström ISBN 91-7265-459-7 Cover design: Eva Lindström & Anne Gailit Printed by Akademitryck AB, Edsbruk 2002 Abstract This thesis describes certain areas in the grammar of the little-known Kuot language, spoken by some 1,500 people in New Ireland Province in Papua New Guinea. Kuot is an isolate, and is the only non-Austronesian (Papuan) language of that province. The analyses presented here are based on original data from 18 months of linguistic fieldwork. The first chapter provides an overview of Kuot grammar, and gives details of earlier mentions of the language, and of data collection and the fieldwork situa- tion. The second chapter presents information about the prehistory and history of the area, the social system, kinship system and culture of Kuot speakers, as well as dialectal variation and prognosis of survival of the language. Chapter three treats Kuot phonology, with particular emphasis on the factors that govern allophonic variation, and on the expression of word stress and the functions of intonation. Word classes and the criteria used to define them are presented in Chapter four, which also contains a discussion of types of morphemes in Kuot. The last chapter describes in some detail the class of nouns in Kuot, their declensions, non-singular formation, and the properties of grammatical gender. Appendices give the full set of person-marking forms in Kuot, a transcription of a recorded text with interlinear glossing and translation, the Swadesh 100-word list for Kuot, and diagrams of kin relations and terminology.

  • Plural Words*
    Plural words* MATTHEW DRYER Abstract A minority of the languages of the world express plurality by means of plural words, separate words which modify nouns but which serve the same grammatical function as plural affixes in other languages. A few languages have singular or dual words as well. The grammatical category of these plural words varies: in some languages they form a category by themselves, while in other languages they are articles or numerals. These plural words tend to precede the noun in VO languages, and to follow in OV languages, the opposite from what some work on word order correlations might lead one to expect. They are particulary common in southeast Asia and Australasia. One of the most common inflectional categories found among the languages of the world, and perhaps the most common, is that of number marking on nouns, most commonly represented by a morpheme indicat- ing plural number, but occasionally in addition by morphemes indicating either singular number or dual number. There are also many languages, like Japanese, which lack a productive mechanism for indicating gramma- tical number. There is a third class of languages, however, which lack number as an inflectional category of nouns, but in which plurality is (or can be) indicated by a plural word, a morpheme whose meaning and function is similar to that of plural affixes in other languages, but which is a separate word that functions as a modifier of the noun. The following examples from Gbeya (a language in the Adamawa-Eastern branch of Niger-Congo) and Hawaiian illustrate such plural words.
