The Kemaloh Lun Bawang Language of Borneo THE KEMALOH LUN BAWANG LANGUAGE OF BORNEO ADISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MANOA¯ IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN LINGUISTICS ON 25 MARCH,ANNO DOMINI 2021 IN ANNUNTIATIONE B.M.V. By Christian John Mortensen Dissertation Committee: Robert Blust, Chairman William O’Grady Bradley McDonnell Gary Holton Ulrich Kozok J.M.J. Dedicatur opus hoc ad honorem Glorisissimæ et Beatæ semper Virginis Mariæ, Genetricis Domini et Dei nostri Jesu Christi, et per illam ad dilectissimum Filium illius, ad cujus gloriam dirigantur omnia verba mea atque opera manuum mearum. Quodcumque autem erratum inventum erit meæ culpæ solum imputetur. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Within Hawai‘i This dissertation was made possible by generous financial support from the Bilinski Foundation: three small grants funded a combined total of six months of fieldwork over three summers from 2017–9, with the writing funded by a much larger fellowship from fall 2020 to spring 2021. Thanks are due, too, to a large number of individuals within the University of Hawai‘i for their contributions, whether proximate or remote, to the dissertation. Enumerating every single contri- bution would be tedious, perhaps impossible, so I limit myself here to a few persons of especial significance. In the first place are the members of my dissertation committee, foremost Robert Blust, the chairman. From even before our very first face-to-face meeting, Bob tried hard to con- vince me to come to Hawai‘i, and once I did, he helped with my work in every way possible, from sharing decades-old field notes to exchanging Borneo stories and spending hours combing through earlier drafts of this and other writings. Also deserving of mention are the other members: William O’Grady, for numerous productive conversations on morphosyntax, especially symmetrical voice, and academia in general; Gary Holton, for a semester-long lesson on how not to write a grammar, as well as suggesting a method for converting my raw, MS Word-based Lun Bawang dictionary files into a much more usable homemade database; Bradley McDonnell, who joined the committee about 24 hours before (and therefore saved) my proposal defense when another member had to withdraw unexpectedly; and Ulrich Kozok, who taught me to speak Indonesian. In that last regard, thanks are also due to Ruri Ariati and Emma Ronsumbre. Although not affiliated with UH, Jay Crain, retired from California State University, Sacra- mento’s Department of Anthropology and Asian Studies, deserves a mention and thanks here for sharing with me the aforementioned raw MS Word files for an edited version of the Lun Bawang dictionary, copiously cited herein as Ganang et al. (2008). i Thanks are further due to Alexander Smith, formerly also of UH linguistics, for suggesting fieldwork on Borneo, providing valuable advice before my first trip, setting me up with Gerawat (for whom see below), and exchanging notes from time to time. I must also mention Peter Schuelke, who introduced me to Austronesian voice, and Victoria Chen, for many a discussion thereon. Thanks in particular to Daniel Lin for many reasons, foremost among them providing refuge during the writing of this dissertation when I was forced to temporarily flee my home. Among the many people I have known in my non-academic life who have notably improved the quality of my time in Honolulu, some of the most deserving of thanks include, in no particular order, Albien and Faye, Jammy, Kiele, Suzanne, Makena, Dominic and Isabella, Marilu, Brian, Sean and Robin, the Benson and Cortes families, Fr. Rhone Lillard, Fr. Richard McNally, Fr. Christopher Keahi, Fr. Steve Nguyen, and the anonymous co-founder and only other member of the Tuesday Confraternity of Concerned Gentlemen, the most refined and sophisticated amateur bowling league the island of O‘ahu has ever seen. On Borneo Far too many people on Borneo were involved in or had contact with this work in some fashion to name each one. Lest the acknowledgements become a chapter in its own right, I limit myself to a few of the most important figures, in approximate order of acquaintance. Gerawat Nulun Tuan, the only non-Lun Bawang on this list, is a Kelabit from Bario, a UH alumnus, and Bob Blust’s first language consultant. Alex connected me with him in advance of my first trip to Borneo in summer 2017 and advised me to begin by flying to Bario to meet him. After a weekend in Miri, I boarded a DHC-6 Twin Otter and took off into the mountains. (“Why am I flying into the middle of nowhere with only a promise that a stranger will be waiting for me there? What if he doesn’t come?” I briefly wondered to myself in midair, as I looked out the window and saw only dense jungle without a single sign of human habitation.) Gerawat, who did indeed keep his promise, took me into his home for three days and introduced me to life in Borneo’s ii highlands, including the local cuisine, before sending me onward to Ba’ Kelalan and arranging for a rendezvous at the airport there. Donna Labo and Kim Hoskin: When I first arrived in Ba’ Kelalan, the first Lun Bawang settlement I visited en route to Long Semadoh, I was sent to Donna Labo’s homestay. That same morning, I was suddenly taken ill in a dramatic fashion, best left to the reader’s imagination, that rendered me utterly useless for about three days. Despite the regrettable circumstances of our first meeting, we got on splendidly, and Donna’s place has been my residence of choice whenever I pass through Ba’ Kelalan since then. I also had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Kim Hoskin, a British expatriate and Donna’s husband, who had served in the Border Scouts during the Malaysia- Indonesia confrontation. Kim was largely responsible for bringing me up to speed on relevant local and regional history and providing much interesting insight into the local communities. Patrick Tonny Lakai was one of my first acquaintances in Long Semadoh. He introduced me to the chief, Dennis Yahya Ating, who gave his approval to live and work in the area, and he also provided the first wordlists I collected during my first two weeks in Long Semadoh Rayeh. Balan Berauk: Meeting Balan was both an accident and perhaps the most important event of my first trip to Borneo. On the advice of Ukab Palong, of Long Semadoh Rayeh, I had walked downriver to the local primary school to attempt to meet the teachers. My timing was poor, and I found no success, but the guard out front, not confident in his English, flagged down Balan, who happened to be passing by on a motorcycle at that exact moment, and asked him to find out what I wanted. Once I explained, Balan immediately invited me to see his home village of Long Tanid, a short distance further downriver, and meet his family. After I met both his brother Pengiran and his parents, he offered to let me stay with him and to help however he could. I soon accepted, and the overwhelming majority of my notes from that summer, as well as many taken in the next two years, came from our evening chats on the veranda of his house, where we would sit and talk language either until I had exhausted my list of questions or until one of us became too tired to continue. Without those many hours we spent together, this dissertation would probably have never happened at all. iii Berauk Taie and Gerit Sinawat: When I first met Berauk and Gerit, Balan’s parents, we could not easily communicate, having no language in common. Nonetheless, for some inexplicable reason, we took a liking to each other and quickly came to regard one another as extended family. Minutes before I set out on the first leg of my return trip home in summer 2017, Gerit told me, by way of Balan, who translated, that she wanted me to return, marry into the tribe, and stay permanently, later going so far as to offer an undeveloped plot of land on which to build a house. In the summer of 2018, while residing in Long Semadoh Rayeh, I would make the trek to Long Tanid (about 45 minutes or so, taking all applicable jungle shortcuts) once or twice a week to visit them while Balan was away in Kuala Lumpur. Since they spoke no English and I had not yet begun to learn Malay, these many visits helped my fluency in Lun Bawang immensely, and through them we each came to understand the other’s world slightly better. Berauk, though physically ailing due to age, had a sharp memory before he tragically lost it to a stroke, and I learned from him many fascinating facets of Lun Bawang history, some integrated into Chapter 2. Perhaps most impressive was that, more than seventy years later, he could still recall perfectly and sing, though understanding not a word of it, a patriotic song that he had been forced to learn during the Japanese occupation of his birthplace of Long Beluyu’, one village further downriver, during World War II. To my sorrow, Berauk passed away in February of 2020; further regrettably, even if I had been able to board a plane the moment I received the news, the amount of time needed to travel to Long Tanid from Honolulu would have made my presence for the burial impossible. I continue to hold out hope that, even in this new world order brought on by the corona scamdemic, I may some day be able to return to see the site of his grave.

  • Making a Pronoun: Fake Indexicals As Windows Into the Properties of Pronouns Angelika Kratzer
    University of Massachusetts Amherst From the SelectedWorks of Angelika Kratzer 2009 Making a Pronoun: Fake Indexicals as Windows into the Properties of Pronouns Angelika Kratzer Available at: https://works.bepress.com/angelika_kratzer/ 6/ Making a Pronoun: Fake Indexicals as Windows into the Properties of Pronouns Angelika Kratzer This article argues that natural languages have two binding strategies that create two types of bound variable pronouns. Pronouns of the first type, which include local fake indexicals, reflexives, relative pronouns, and PRO, may be born with a ‘‘defective’’ feature set. They can ac- quire the features they are missing (if any) from verbal functional heads carrying standard ␭-operators that bind them. Pronouns of the second type, which include long-distance fake indexicals, are born fully specified and receive their interpretations via context-shifting ␭-operators (Cable 2005). Both binding strategies are freely available and not subject to syntactic constraints. Local anaphora emerges under the assumption that feature transmission and morphophonological spell-out are limited to small windows of operation, possibly the phases of Chomsky 2001. If pronouns can be born underspecified, we need an account of what the possible initial features of a pronoun can be and how it acquires the features it may be missing. The article develops such an account by deriving a space of possible paradigms for referen- tial and bound variable pronouns from the semantics of pronominal features. The result is a theory of pronouns that predicts the typology and individual characteristics of both referential and bound variable pronouns. Keywords: agreement, fake indexicals, local anaphora, long-distance anaphora, meaning of pronominal features, typology of pronouns 1 Fake Indexicals and Minimal Pronouns Referential and bound variable pronouns tend to look the same.

  • Minimal Pronouns1
    1 Minimal Pronouns1 Fake Indexicals as Windows into the Properties of Bound Variable Pronouns Angelika Kratzer University of Massachusetts at Amherst June 2006 Abstract The paper challenges the widely accepted belief that the relation between a bound variable pronoun and its antecedent is not necessarily submitted to locality constraints. It argues that the locality constraints for bound variable pronouns that are not explicitly marked as such are often hard to detect because of (a) alternative strategies that produce the illusion of true bound variable interpretations and (b) language specific spell-out noise that obscures the presence of agreement chains. To identify and control for those interfering factors, the paper focuses on ‘fake indexicals’, 1st or 2nd person pronouns with bound variable interpretations. Following up on Kratzer (1998), I argue that (non-logophoric) fake indexicals are born with an incomplete set of features and acquire the remaining features via chains of local agreement relations established in the syntax. If fake indexicals are born with an incomplete set of features, we need a principled account of what those features are. The paper derives such an account from a semantic theory of pronominal features that is in line with contemporary typological work on possible pronominal paradigms. Keywords: agreement, bound variable pronouns, fake indexicals, meaning of pronominal features, pronominal ambiguity, typologogy of pronouns. 1 . I received much appreciated feedback from audiences in Paris (CSSP, September 2005), at UC Santa Cruz (November 2005), the University of Saarbrücken (workshop on DPs and QPs, December 2005), the University of Tokyo (SALT XIII, March 2006), and the University of Tromsø (workshop on decomposition, May 2006).

  • Joseph Conrad's Fiction As Southeast Asian History: Trade and Politics in East Borneo in the Late 19Th Century
    JOSEPH CONRAD'S FICTION AS SOUTHEAST ASIAN HISTORY: TRADE AND POLITICS IN EAST BORNEO IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY Bv JIM WARREN Murdoch University INTRODUCTION JT WAS the artistic genius of Joseph Conrad that evoked the spirit of the changes in the Kuran/Berau region in the late 19th century. The source of the novels Almayer's Folly, An Outcast of the Islands and Lord Jim, was Conrad's experience as a first mate on the Singapore-based, Arab-owned steamer, the Vidar, on which he made several trips to the east coast of Borneo. From conversations and personal observations during the short space of nineteen weeks on the Vidar in 1887 and 1888, Conrad was able to sketch accurately the character of the men and the shape of the historical forces at work in the development of that part of Borneo. Until quite recently the historical significance of Conrad's writing for understanding the nature of pre-colonial trade and legal conditions in the smaller states of the buitengewesten in the late 19th and early 20th centuries has been ignored. Dutch scholars, for the most part, found themselves at odds with Conrad's description of a Mal~y world that flatly contradicted their concept of a mon®lithic Netherlands East Indies- 'ons Indie'. It was left to Professor G. J. Resink to place Joseph Conrad's work in its proper perspective for the study of Southeast Asian history. Since his article 'De Archipel voor Joseph Conrad appeared in 1959, several books have been devoted partially or entirely to Conrad's Southeast Asian experience, although more from a literary-historical point of view than a historiographical one.
