Franklin ________________________________________ Copyright © by Jonathan Paul Wilson 1996 All Rights Reserved ii BINANDERE NOMINAL STRUCTURES by JONATHAN PAUL WILSON Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN LINGUISTICS THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 1996 iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis could not have been completed without the help of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If any praise is given, may He receive the glory. His faithfulness has been exhibited in so many ways, but especially through the constant encouragement of my wonderful wife Kathy Ann, who patiently and cheerfully took on many extra responsibilities so that her thesis student could give it his best. I also thank God for Justin and Sarah. Their love for life and many prayers for daddy helped me keep things in perspective when the going got rough. My mother deserves recognition for her help in typing the bibliography and appendix, as well as for her faithful prayers. The unflagging patience of Dr. Shin Ja Hwang, Dr. Karl Franklin, and Dr. Susan Herring also did much too keep this wanderer on track. Each one of these deserves more thanks than I could ever adequately confer. Nevertheless, my deepest heartfelt appreciation is due each one. I also want to express special thanks to Darryl and Lael Wilson who first challenged us to get involved in the Binandere translation program and have been true friends and helpful consultants ever since. Finally, I must thank the Binandere people for their unrivaled hospitality and compassion towards me and my family. Their ability to appreciate the simple things in life, and to laugh and cry with us has made learning their language a rewarding and joyful challenge. Many others deserve thanks for their faithful prayers and support throughout this project. May God richly bless each one of you for the important part you played in making this dream come true. May its completion be an added incentive to each one of us that our labor is not in vain in the Lord (I Cor. 15:58). April 30, 1996 iv ABSTRACT BINANDERE NOMINAL STRUCTURES Publication No.__________ Jonathan Paul Wilson, M.A. The University of Texas at Arlington, 1996 Supervising Professor: Shin Ja Hwang Binandere is a Papuan language with an SOV word order which is a member of the eastern Trans-New Guinea Phylum. It is one of sixteen closely related languages spoken in Morobe and Oro Provinces of Papua New Guinea. This thesis is a grammatical description of Binandere nouns, pronouns, demonstratives, and noun phrases. Nouns are organized formally into simple, derived, and compound classes, and by number into kinship and nonkinship classes. Binandere personal names and the Binandere split-ergative case system are also described. Personal pronouns are systematized by means of case marking into absolutive, ergative, genitive, and dative/comitative sets. The demonstrative case system is presented together with a brief description of the articular and referential functions of the demonstrative. Basic, possessive, coordinate, alternative, and appositional noun phrases are also described and classified according to their respective patterns and constituent structures. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ......................................................................................................

  • 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.

  • 1 This Database, Compiled by Merritt Ruhlen, Contains Certain Kinds Of
    Database Structure 1 This database, compiled by Merritt Ruhlen, contains certain kinds of linguis- tic and nonlinguistic information for the world’s roughly 5,000 languages. This introduction will discuss the kinds of data that are surveyed. Correc- tions, addenda, or comments should be sent to [email protected]. DATABASE STRUCTURE. 1. Language. This database contains 5,707 records, each representing one language or dialect. The names of the languages and dialects follow the nomenclature given in my Guide to the Languages of the World, Vol. 1: Classification (1991). 2. Alternate Name. No attempt has been made to list every alternate name for every language. For a complete index of all language names one should consult the Ethnologue (2000), published by SIL International and also available on the web at http://ethnologue.org, and the Voegelin’s Clas- sification and Index of the World’s Languages (1977). Alternate names are given here primarily for languages that have two names, both of which are widely used (e.g. Gilyak and Nivkh), or for a name used in a source that differs from that used here. 3. Dialect. Dialect names are given when they were mentioned in a source or where they are needed to distinguish two forms of a language. 4. Geographical Location. I have attempted to provide a geographical location for every language in this database, usually in terms of the country in which it is spoken. However, languages are often spoken in more than one country for the simple reason that there is little correlation between linguistic boundaries and political boundaries in most parts of the world.

    The world tree of languages: How to infer it from data, and what it is good for Gerhard Jäger Tübingen University Workshop Evolutionary Theory in the Humanities, Torun April 14, 2018 Gerhard Jäger (Tübingen) Words to trees Torun 1 / 42 Introduction Introduction Gerhard Jäger (Tübingen) Words to trees Torun 2 / 42 Introduction Language change and evolution “If we possessed a perfect pedigree of mankind, a genealogical arrangement of the races of man would afford the best classification of the various languages now spoken throughout the world; and if all extinct languages, and all intermediate and slowly changing dialects, had to be included, such an arrangement would, I think, be the only possible one. Yet it might be that some very ancient language had altered little, and had given rise to few new languages, whilst others (owing to the spreading and subsequent isolation and states of civilisation of the several races, descended from a common race) had altered much, and had given rise to many new languages and dialects. The various degrees of difference in the languages from the same stock, would have to be expressed by groups subordinate to groups; but the proper or even only possible arrangement would still be genealogical; and this would be strictly natural, as it would connect together all languages, extinct and modern, by the closest affinities, and would give the filiation and origin of each tongue.” (Darwin, The Origin of Species) Gerhard Jäger (Tübingen) Words to trees Torun 3 / 42 Introduction Language phylogeny Comparative method 1

  • And Topic Markers Indicate Gender and Number by Means of the Pronominal Article They Follow (Ho-Kwe M.TOP, Ko-Kwe F.TOP and Mo-Kwe PL-TOP)
    The elusive topic: Towards a typology of topic markers (with special reference to cumulation with number in Bolinao and gender in Nalca) Bernhard Wälchli (Stockholm University) [email protected] Helsinki; January 22, 2020 1 The elusive topic: Towards a typology of topic markers (with special reference to cumulation with number in Bolinao and gender in Nalca) Bernhard Wälchli (Stockholm University) Abstract At least since the 1970s, topic has been widely recognized to reflect an important category in most different approaches to linguistics. However, researchers have never agreed about what exactly a topic is (researchers disagree, for instance, about whether topics express backgrounding or foregrounding) and to what extent topics are elements of syntax or discourse or both. Topics are notoriously difficult to distinguish from a range of related phenomena. Some definitions of topic are suspiciously similar to definitions of definiteness, subject, noun and contrast, so the question arises as to what extent topic is a phenomenon of its own. However, topics are also internally diverse. There is disagreement, for instance, as to whether contrastive and non-contrastive topics should be subsumed under the same notion. This talk tries to approach the category type topic bottom-up by considering cross-linguistic functional diversity in marked topics, semasiologically defined as instances of topics with explicit segmental topic markers. The first part of the talk considers the question as to whether topic markers can be defined as a gram type with one or several prototypical functions that can be studied on the basis of material from parallel texts and from descriptive sources.
