  • Palauan Language Report Carole Tiberius
    Surrey Database of Agreement – Palauan Carole Tiberius Palauan Language Report Carole Tiberius 1 Introduction Palauan is a member of the Austronesian language family spoken in Palau. It has no close relatives within the Austronesian family. Palauan has about 17,000 speakers of whom about 80% live in the Republic of Palau. There is little dialectal variation (Georgopoulos 1991:21). This report draws heavily on Josephs’ (1975, 1997a, 1997b) Palauan grammar books. We are very grateful to him for his help and specialist advice. 2 Grammatical categories 2.1 T he Palauan words er, el, and a 2.1.1 The analysis of er Palauan has two words er (which are homonyms). Er can be a specifying word (indicated by SPEC in the glosses) or a relational word (indicated by REL in the glosses). The major function of the specifying word er is to distinguish specific objects from non-specific (general) ones. It marks a specific object noun phrase, but only when the verb is in the imperfective. For instance, (1a) A ngelek -ek a medakt a derumk PM child-1SG.POSS PM be.afraid PM thunder ‘My child is afraid of thunder.’ (1b) A ngelek -ek a medakt er a derumk PM child-1SG.POSS PM be.afraid SPEC PM thunder ‘My child is afraid of the thunder.’ (Josephs 1997a:74) As such, the presence of the specifying word er usually indicates a specific statement (as opposed to a general statement). In addition, er is sometimes used to distinguish between singular and plural with nonhuman object nouns, the presence of er marking the singular object as in the following example (Josephs 1997a:77): (2a) Ak ousbech er a ml-im el mo 1SG need SPEC PM car-2SG.POSS LINK go er a ocheraol SPEC PM money-raising.party ‘I need your car to go to the money-raising party.’ (2b) Ak ousbech a ml-im el mo 1.SG need PM car-2SG.POSS LINK go er a ocheraol SPEC PM money-raising.party ‘I need your cars to go to the money-raising party.’ 1 Surrey Database of Agreement – Palauan Carole Tiberius The relational word er, on the other hand, expresses certain types of relational phrases.

Grafika No. 1 Bulaksumur Yogyakarta 55281 Telp./Fax.: (0274) 561037 [email protected] | ugmpress.ugm.ac.id Austronesian Diaspora PREFACE OF PUBLISHER This book is a proceeding from a number of papers presented in The International Symposium on Austronesian Diaspora on 18th to 23rd July 2016 at Nusa Dua, Bali, which was held by The National Research Centre of Archaeology in cooperation with The Directorate of Cultural Heritage and Museums. The symposium is the second event with regard to the Austronesian studies since the first symposium held eleven years ago by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences in cooperation with the International Centre for Prehistoric and Austronesia Study (ICPAS) in Solo on 28th June to 1st July 2005 with a theme of “the Dispersal of the Austronesian and the Ethno-geneses of People in the Indonesia Archipelago’’ that was attended by experts from eleven countries. The studies on Austronesia are very interesting to discuss because Austronesia is a language family, which covers about 1200 languages spoken by populations that inhabit more than half the globe, from Madagascar in the west to Easter Island (Pacific Area) in the east and from Taiwan-Micronesia in the north to New Zealand in the south. Austronesia is a language family, which dispersed before the Western colonization in many places in the world. The Austronesian dispersal in very vast islands area is a huge phenomenon in the history of humankind.
