Philippine Voice and Split Absolutive Syntax Brodkin
Philippine Voice and Split Absolutive Syntax Brodkin Philippine Voice and Split Absolutive Syntax Dan Brodkin May 28, 2021 Voice Systems The “Philippine-type” languages of the Philippines, Taiwan, and Indonesia show voice systems. • They have an ‘Agent Voice’ construction, where the external argument is absolutive. av;ext • This contrasts with a ‘Patient Voice’ construction, where the internal argument is. pv; int In many languages, voice also interacts with Ā-extraction and the definiteness of the int. (1) South Sulawesi: the Voice System1 a. Mam-baca=a’ buku. b. U-baca=i iting buku. av-read=1abs book 1eRg-read=3abs that book ‘I’m reading a book.’ ‘I read that book.’ Mandar Across these languages, the absolutive argument (“pivot”) shows systematic hierarchical privilege. This pattern has led to near-consensus that this argument sits above all others in theclause. Guilfoyle et al. 1992; Aldridge 2004; Rackowski & Richards 2005; Hsieh 2020 The Proposal Nevertheless, there is little agreement over the position of the absolutive and the nature of its movement. In today’s talk, I argue for a “High-Licensing” analysis: (Guilfoyle et al., 1992; Brodkin & Royer, 2021) § ¤ 0 ¦The absolutive argument undergoes a-movement to spec,tp as a result of licensing byt . ¥ This view allows these languages to be understood through the lens of “High-Absolutive” syntax. The Licensing Prediction The central insight of this model is that the absolutive argument cannot be licensed belowt0. This logic leads to a systematic prediction about any language which shows this syntax: § ¤ 0 ¦When t is unavailable, such a language must resort to a special strategy to license arguments. -

Reports from field work in the form of data analysis or texts with translation, book reviews, squibs and discussions are also accepted. Papers appearing in NUSA can be original or traiislated from languages other than English. Although our main interest is restricted to the area of Indonesia, we welcome works on general linguistics that can throw light upon problems that we might face. It is hoped that NUS, can be relevant beyond the range of typological and area specializations and at the same time also serve the cause of deoccidentaliation of general linguistics. -

Some Preliminary Observations on Prosody and Information Structure in Austronesian Languages of Indonesia and East Timor Nikolaus P
Chapter 11 Some preliminary observations on prosody and information structure in Austronesian languages of Indonesia and East Timor Nikolaus P. Himmelmann Universität zu Köln This chapter provides a brief overview of what is known about prosody and information structure in the Austronesian languages of Indonesia and East Timor. It emphasizes the fact that the prosodic systems found in these languages appear to differ substantially from the better known systems found in languages such as English and German and finds thattodate there is little evidence that prosody plays a major role in conveying information-structural distinctions. Of major import in this regard appears to be the fact that many Austronesian languages in the area appear to lack lexical stress as well as lexical tone. Consequently, intonational phrases lack (postlexical) pitch accents, the tonal inventory being restricted to a smallish number of edge tone combinations on the intonational phrase level plus a single boundary tone on the level of intermediate phrases. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of a major exception to these generalisations, i.e. the group of (Austronesian) West New Guinea languages that show a bewildering variety of tonal and stress-related distinctions. 1 Introduction Apart from some varieties of Malay, the prosodic systems found in Indonesian and East Timorese languages have not been investigated in detail to date. Still, from what is known from Malayic varieties1 and the few studies on other languages that have been published (in particular, Stoel 2006 on Javanese and Himmelmann 2010 on Waima’a) it seems likely that prosodic prominence does not have a major role to play in marking information- structural categories. -
South Sulawesi Pronominal Clitics: Form, Function and Position
Studies in Philippine Languages and Cultures Volume 17 (2008), 13–65 South Sulawesi pronominal clitics: form, function and position Daniel Kaufman Cornell University The present article ofers the most comprehensive overview to date of pronominal clitic syntax in the South Sulawesi (SSul) family (Malayo- Polynesian, Austronesian). The fundamental aspects of SSul morphosyntax are explained with special attention given to case and agreement phenomena. The SSul system is then compared to Philippine-type languages, which are known to be more morphosyntactically conservative, and thus may represent the type of system from which Proto-SSul descended. A full array of syntactic environments are investigated in relation to clitic placement and the results are summarized in the conclusion. The positioning properties of the set A pronouns are of particular interest in that they are similar to Philippine clitics in being second-position elements but dissimilar to them in respecting the contiguity of a potentially large verbal constituent, often resulting in placement several words away from the left edge of their domain. Finally, notes on the form of modern SSul pronoun sets and the reconstruction of Proto-SSul pronouns are presented in the appendix. 1. Background The languages of the South Sulawesi (henceforth SSul) family are spoken on the southwestern peninsula of Sulawesi. Selayar island marks the southern boundary of the SSul area, while the northern boundary is marked by Mamuju on Sulawesi’s west coast, the Sa’dan area further inland, and the environs of Luwuk on the northeastern edge. Outside of Sulawesi, the Tamanic languages of western Kalimantan have been identiied 1 as outliers of the SSul family. -
The Bungku-Tolaki Languages: Wordlists, Volume 1: Bungku Family
THE BUNGKU-TOLAKI LANGUAGES: WORDLISTS VOLUME 1: BUNGKU FAMILY (WORDLISTS 1–33) compiled by David E. Mead Kendari Universitas Haluoleo 1995 THE BUNGKU-TOLAKI LANGUAGES: WORDLISTS VOLUME 1: BUNGKU FAMILY (WORDLISTS 1–33) compiled by David E. Mead Kendari Universitas Haluoleo 1995 ABOUT THIS VOLUME The wordlists contained in this volume were primarily collected during a period of intense activity from March 1988 through January 1989. The focus of this field research was the Bungku-Tolaki language family of southeastern Sulawesi, Indonesia, and the goal at that time was to develop a picture of the number of languages and dialects which it comprises, including along with it brief descriptions of the people who speak these languages, their location, and manner of living. This goal has been accomplished with the completion of The Bungku-Tolaki Languages of Southeastern Sulawesi, now awaiting publication. In order to make the source data more widely available to the people of Indonesia, we have undertaken to compile these companion volumes which contain the lexical material upon which our analysis of languages and dialects was based. As always, we wish to thank the many people in Indonesia who graciously helped us complete this field research, and without whose cooperation neither the survey (or subsequent write-up) would have been possible. We are particularly indebted to officials at Hasanuddin University in South Sulawesi for officially sponsoring this survey, and to officials and employees at Haluoleo University in Southeast Sulawesi for their guidance and assistance in the actual field work. These volumes have a very simple format. In total, one-hundred thirteen wordlists were collected, and each wordlist has been assigned a unique number. -
Mapping Indonesian Bajau Communities in Sulawesi

Instead of the roughly dozen locations which these authors presented, we can say that at present the Bajau live in more than one hundred fifty locations across Sulawesi. In order to develop this picture, we gleaned information from a number of other sources, most of which treated the Bajau only tangentially. 1 Background Two difficulties face the researcher who would locate where the Indonesian Bajau (hereafter simply ‘Bajau’)1 live across the island of Sulawesi. -
487 Appendix A. the South Sulawesi Language Group A
487 APPENDIX A. THE SOUTH SULAWESI LANGUAGE GROUP r A.1 Introduction 2 ; * The concept of a South Sulawesi language group, introduced by Esser's (1938) broad classificatory maps of Netherlands Indies languages, has survived the advent of modern comparative linguistic studies initiated by Mills (1975a, 1975b). Its justification lies in a suite of generally shared qualitative characters, some of which are unique to the group, rather than in the lexicostatistical data which in fact would tend to remove the Makassar languages from the group (Sirk, 1989). Small bodies of lexicostatistical data may be found in several works (e.g. Mills, 1975a; Sirk, 1989) but none approaches the comprehensiveness of Grimes and Grimes (1987). Their study has since been constructively reviewed by Friberg and Laskowske (1989) who proposed several revisions (A.6) including alternative names to be preferred for some of the speech communities. However, because my primary original contribution will be to explore the implications of the Grimes' lexicostatistical data, I will review their scheme directly and retain their names for the speech communities. Their database consists of a standardised 202-word list, slightly modified from the Swadesh 200-word list, recorded from 39 dialects and languages in South Sulawesi, with standard Indonesian as the 40th comparative group. Using the Grimes' abbreviations as spelled out in my later figures, the large map in Figure A-1 locates the 39 South Sulawesi speech communities based on the distribution maps of Grimes and Grimes (1987: Maps 2 and 7 to 11). Grimes and Grimes inspected the word lists to ascertain the percentages of words which appeared similar between each two speech communities. -

ISBN 979-8132-85-8 FOREWORD Earlier issues of Workpapers in Indonesian Languages and Cultures that focused on Sulawesi have dealt with survey results (see volumes 5 and 11). This is the first to be exclusively devoted to the results of phonological analysis in Sulawesi, following the pattern set by the volumes dealing with phonologies of Maluku and Irian Jaya languages. The phonologies of five languages are presented, three of which belong to the lesser known languages of the South Sulawesi group. PUS (Pitu Ulunna Salu) is described by Philip Campbell, Mamasa by DaVId Matti, and Aralle- Tabulahan by Robin McKenzie. Although the phonology of Mamasa appears to be very similar to that of Sa'dan Toraja, the other two languages show remarkable divergences, such as the presence of a sixth vowel, constraints on final nasals (only m in PUS) and the development of geminate consonants intohp,ht, etc. -
THE STUDY of LINGUISTIC on MINAHASA ETHNIC VOCAL MUSIC Maikel B.G
THE STUDY OF LINGUISTIC ON MINAHASA ETHNIC VOCAL MUSIC Maikel B.G. Sanger Abstrack Some research agree that music is a language, both of which use sound media. The rhythm of language also allows the same rhythm of music for a particular culture language. The Minahasa ethnic group has a diverse array of cultural traditions such as language and culture. This ethnic has a series of language types with each accent or a distinctive intonation that is said to be unique. On the other hand, its distinctive singing tradition is also very united with the people who live in it. If a typical accent is part of the Minahasa language language and the distinctive singing tradition is part of the Minahasa culture, can both be linked? Is the Minahasa way of singing influenced by the accent of the language? By looking at these problems, the researcher wanted to give an idea of how the language relation by way of singing of Minahasa people through the title of Linguistic Review on Minahasa Vocal Music. To answer the problem, the researcher uses the C. Dalhaus method of formal analysis: explains the structure of a work in terms of function and relationship between sections and elements, energetic interpretation: relates to the phase of movement or stretch of the tension, gestalt analysis: view the work as overall, hermeneutics: the interpretation of music in the context of an emotional statement or an external meaning. The research titled Linguistic Review of Minahasa Ethnic Vocal Music is a multi-disciplinary research because it will discuss two different disciplines of language discipline and music science. -
The Minahasan Languages = De Minahasische Talen
The Minahasan languages by Nicolaus Adriani translated by David Mead 2020 Sulang Language Data and Working Papers: Translations from the Dutch, no. 24 Sulawesi Language Alliance http://sulang.org/ SulangTrans024-v1 LANGUAGES Subject language : Tombulu, Tondano, Tonsea, Tonsawang, Tontemboan Language of materials : English DESCRIPTION The author begins this paper with an enumeration of the ten languages spoken within the geographical boundaries of the Minahasan Residency located at the northern tip of Celebes (Sulawesi). Thereafter he concentrates on the five Minahasan languages proper, discussing the basis first for their inclusion in a Philippine language group, and second for their internal division into two groups, one comprising Tombulu’, Tonsea’ and Tondano, the other Tontemboan and Tonsawang. This is followed by a lengthy review of Tontemboan literature, including synopses of a number of folktales. The author considered all five Minahasan languages to be threatened, and closes with an appeal for similar work to be carried out in the other languages. A bibliography comprehensively lists previously published works concerning the Minahasan languages. SOURCE Adriani, N. 1925. De Minahasische talen.
