Information Structure in Sembiran Balinese I Wayan Arka Australian National University / Universitas Udayana I Nyoman Sedeng Universitas Udayana
Chapter 5 Information structure in Sembiran Balinese I Wayan Arka Australian National University / Universitas Udayana I Nyoman Sedeng Universitas Udayana This paper discusses the information structure in Sembiran Balinese, an endangered, con- servative mountain dialect of Balinese. It presents the first detailed description of the ways topic, focus and frame setter in this language interact with each other and with other ele- ments in grammar. It is demonstrated that Sembiran Balinese employs combined strategies that exploit structural positions, morpho-lexical and syntactic resources in grammar. The description is based on a well-defined set of categories of information structure using three semantic-discourse/pragmatic features of [+/−salient], [+/−given] and [+/−contrast]. This novel approach allows for the in-depth exploration of the information structure space in Sembiran Balinese. The paper also highlights the empirical-theoretical contributions ofthe findings in terms of the significance of local socio-cultural context, and the conception of information structural prominence in grammatical theory. 1 Introduction Sembiran Balinese is one of the endangered conservative dialects of Balinese (i.e. Bali Aga, or Mountain Balinese). It is spoken by around 4,500 speakers in the mountainous village of Sembiran in northern Bali.1 Sembiran Balinese has a similar morphosyntax to Plains, or Dataran Balinese, but it is different in that it lacks the speech level system characteristics of Plains Balinese.2 The noticeable difference is therefore related tothe lexical stock, including the pronominal system, which is discussed in §2. 1SBD should be distinguished from the Plains Balinese dialect, which lexically has been influenced by many other languages, namely, Javanese, Sanskrit, English, Arabic and Indonesian. -
Languages of Flores
Are the Central Flores languages really typologically unusual? Alexander Elias January 13, 2020 1 Abstract The isolating languages of Central Flores (Austronesian) are typologically distinct from their nearby relatives. They have no bound morphology, as well elaborate numeral clas- sifier systems, and quinary-decimal numeral system. McWhorter (2019) proposes that their isolating typology is due to imperfect adult language acquisition of a language of Sulawesi, brought to Flores by settlers from Sulawesi in the relatively recent past. I pro- pose an alternative interpretation, which better accounts for the other typological features found in Central Flores: the Central Flores languages are isolating because they have a strong substrate influence from a now-extinct isolating language belonging to the Mekong- Mamberamo linguistic area (Gil 2015). This explanation better accounts for the typological profile of Central Flores and is a more plausible contact scenario. Keywords: Central Flores languages, Eastern Indonesia, isolating languages, Mekong- Mamberamo linguistic area, substrate influence 2 Introduction The Central Flores languages (Austronesian; Central Malayo-Polynesian) are a group of serialising SVO languages with obligatory numeral classifier systems spoken on the island of Flores, one of the Lesser Sunda Islands in the east of Indonesia. These languages, which are almost completely lacking in bound morphology, include Lio, Ende, Nage, Keo, Ngadha and Rongga. Taken in their local context, this typological profile is unusual: other Austronesian languages of eastern Indonesia generally have some bound morphology and non-obligatory numeral classifier systems. However, in a broader view, the Central Flores languages are typologically similar to many of the isolating languages of Mainland Southeast Asia and Western New Guinea, many of which are also isolating, serialising SVO languages with obligatory numeral classifier systems. -

It is an electronic journal, distributed freely by Pacific Linguistics (www.pacling.com) and the JSEALS website (jseals.org). JSEALS was formally established by decision of the SEALS 17 meeting, held at the University of Maryland in September 2007. It supersedes the Conference Proceedings, previously published by Arizona State University and later by Pacific Linguistics. JSEALS welcomes articles that are topical, focused on linguistic (as opposed to cultural or anthropological) issues, and which further the lively debate that characterizes the annual SEALS conferences. Although we expect in practice that most JSEALS articles will have been presented and discussed at the SEALS conference, submission is open to all regardless of their participation in SEALS meetings. Papers are expected to be written in English. Each paper is reviewed by at least two scholars, usually a member of the Advisory Board and one or more independent readers. Reviewers are volunteers, and we are grateful for their assistance in ensuring the quality of this publication. As an additional service we also admit data papers, reports and notes, subject to an internal review process. -
Scuba Diving
Raja Ampat Raja Ampat loosely translates to mean "Four Kings", and is an archipelago in the East of Indonesia made up of 1500 small islands and cays surrounding the main four islands (or Four Kings) of Misool, Salawati, Batanta and Waigeo. The Raja Ampat Regency covers over 40,000 Sq Km of land and sea, including the largest national marine reserve in Indonesia; "Cenderawasih Bay". The Regency is part of the new West Papua province which was formerly know as Irian Jaya. The capital of the regency is Waisai (est. population 6000) which is located on Waigeo and is only a 45 minute boat ride from our island/project site. Raja Ampat sits right in the heart of the "Coral Triangle", which is unquestionably the most bio-diverse area for marine life in the world. Incredibly, the oceans that surround Raja Ampat contain 80% of all the world's coral species (10 times the number of species found in the entire Caribbean!) 1350 species of fish 6 of the world's 7 marine turtle specie 27 varieties of marine mammal. With so many of the 1500 small islands, cays and reefs still to be mapped and discovered, Raja Ampat truly is one of the "worlds" final diving frontiers! Project Summary and Goals Summary: Barefoot Conservation is working in partnership with the Raja Ampat local government, local Papuan Communities and stakeholders, to protect the coral reefs of Raja Ampat and the communities that rely on them. This partnership is bonded by a willingness to make a real difference, and the understanding that research, survey dives and Marine Protected Areas cannot work unless accompanied by education and the sustained alleviation of poverty. -
Mckaughan's Analysis of Philippine Voice
McKaughan’s analysis of Philippine voice Paul McKaughan’sKroeger analysis of Philippine voice Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics SIL International The voice systems of Philippine-type languages are a notorious problem for both descriptive grammarians and theoretical syntacticians.1 It sometimes seems as if Austronesian specialists can talk (and write) of nothing else. Our understanding of these systems, and the terms we use to describe them, owe a great debt to Howard McKaughan’s early work on Philippine languages, and in particular on Maranao. One of Howard’s most successful and influential proposals was one that he later tried to retract. I say “tried to retract” because by that time it had been so widely adopted among Philippinists as to be nearly indispensable. I am referring to Howard’s choice of the term topic for the noun phrase (NP) marked by so in Maranao (or ang in Tagalog). Both his reasons for making that choice in his early work (1958, 1962), and his reasons for arguing against it in later work (1973), are illuminating and reflect important insights into the structure of these languages. Aside from this one terminological innovation, the terms that McKaughan chose to describe the basic clause structure of Maranao were fairly conventional.2 He referred to the NP-relation markers (such as ang, ng, and sa in Tagalog) as case markers; the affixes on the verb which indicate the relation of the topic he called voice-marking affixes. But McKaughan felt it was necessary to depart from Bloomfield’s pioneering work on Tagalog (1917) and Ilokano (1942), in which the ang phrase was referred to as subject and the non-active voices as various types of passive: direct passive for Tagalog -in, instrumental passive for i-, and local passive for -an. -
Indigenous Knowledge and Practices for Marine Ecotourism Development in Misool, Raja Ampat, Indonesia
INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICES FOR MARINE ECOTOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN MISOOL, RAJA AMPAT, INDONESIA By: Nurdina Prasetyo A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand February 2019 No matter how important local and national knowledge is within a specific spatial context, unless it is conveyed in English it has little chance to enter the global marketplace and be reproduced and recirculated. Somewhat ironically, given the desire to give voice to local and Indigenous perspectives, unless that voice can be spoken in English it is likely not to be heard. (Hall, 2013, p. 608) ABSTRACT This doctoral study examines the complexities of integrating Indigenous knowledge and practices into sustainable marine ecotourism development, with a focus on the case study of Misool, Raja Ampat, in West Papua Province, Indonesia. The research addresses the knowledge gaps on integrating Indigenous knowledge into marine ecotourism initiatives. Indigenous knowledge is often neglected as a key source of information, undervalued from the perspective of Western scientific knowledge, even though utilising Indigenous knowledge helps to increase the sustainability of development efforts and contributes to the empowerment of local communities. Literature on marine ecotourism shows an almost total absence of studies that draw from Indigenous knowledge, yet, local community participation is underlined as one of the most important factors in sustainable marine ecotourism development. This thesis thus aims to contribute new insights on how Indigenous knowledge can be optimally integrated or applied in marine ecotourism development. Misool is one of the islands in Raja Ampat which attracts scuba divers and marine tourists from around the world, due to its abundance marine life. -

Conserving in Misool, Indonesia, Through Eco-Tourism by Shawn
Conserving in Misool, Indonesia, through Eco-tourism By Shawn Heinrichs, Founder, Blue Sphere Media (www.bluespheremedia.com), Andrew Miners, Managing Director, Misool Eco Resort, Marit Miners, Director, Misool Eco Resort (www.misoolecoresort.com) Abstract Misool Eco Resort (MER) is located in the remote southern part of Raja Ampat, Indonesia. The small resort is located on the island of Batbitim, deep in a vast archipelago of uninhabited islands, 240 kilometers from the nearest resort and half a day’s journey from the nearest village. Misool Eco Resort is deeply committed to a policy of environmental and social responsibility. We seek to provide exceptional and enriching diving experiences in a sustainable environment. We aim to protect and revitalize both our natural surroundings and the community in which we operate. We are committed to demonstrating to our hosts, our guests and the local government that tourism can support a local economy on much more favorable terms than mining, logging, over fishing or shark finning. In doing so, MER entered into a lease agreement with the local community to establish a 425-square kilometer Marine Protected Area (no-take zone) surrounding Misool Eco Resort. Within this area, all fishing, shark finning, harvesting of turtle eggs and shellfish are strictly prohibited. In 2010, this no-take zone was expanded and now covers an area of 1,220 square kilometers. We also require all boats to practice reef-safe anchoring. We regularly patrol the area for illegal fishing and shark finning. In addition, Misool Eco Resorts charity arm, Misool Baseftin, conducts social projects, such as supporting local schools and is developing libraries in two of the local villages.
