    Data Processing and Its Impact on Linguistic Analysis

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ScholarSpace at University of Hawai'i at Manoa Vol. 3, No. 1 (June 2009), pp. 87-99 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4425 Data Processing and its Impact on Linguistic Analysis Anna Margetts Monash University The Saliba-Logea documentation project has been working toward a web-based text database with text-audio linkage and searchable annotations. In this article, I discuss the impact that the nature of data processing can have on linguistic analysis, and I demonstrate this on the basis of two research topics: the positioning of Postpositional Phrases and the distribution of plural markers. Saliba-Logea PPs can be ambiguous as to whether they belong to the preceding or following clause. To investigate whether there is a correlation between a PP’s position and its semantic role, text-only transcriptions turn out to be insufficient. The second question relates to the Saliba-Logea plural suffix, which originally occurred only on nouns with human referents. However, some speakers use it in novel contexts, and in order to investigate these extended uses and who drives them, access to metadata about the speakers is required. I show that text-audio linkage can be a prerequisite for analyzing syntactic constructions and that access to metadata can have a direct effect on the linguistic analysis. 1. INTRODUCTION. This article is based on research within the Saliba-Logea language documentation project, which has been funded since 2004 by of the Documentation of Endangered Languages (DoBeS) program of the Volkswagen Foundation [1].1 The DoBeS program stipulates that the primary focus of funded documentation projects is on collecting texts, based on the assumption that grammar and lexicon can, at least to some extent, be derived from these, but not vice versa.

    Journal of the Ocean Science Foundation 2014, Volume 11 A new species of damselfish (Chromis: Pomacentridae) from Papua New Guinea GERALD R. ALLEN Western Australian Museum, Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC Perth, Western Australia 6986, Australia. E-mail: [email protected] MARK V. ERDMANN Conservation International, Jl. Dr. Muwardi No. 17, Renon, Denpasar, Bali 80235, Indonesia California Academy of Sciences, 55 Music Concourse Drive, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA 94118 USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of pomacentrid fish,Chromis howsoni, is described from 24 specimens, 30.7–56.2 mm SL, collected in 17–20 m at Milne Bay and Oro Provinces, Papua New Guinea. Diagnostic features include usual counts of XII,12 dorsal rays; II,12 anal rays; 15–16 pectoral rays; 2 spiniform caudal rays; 13 tubed lateral-line scales; body depth 1.6–1.8 (usually 1.7) in SL. The new taxon is closely allied to Chromis amboinensis, differing mainly on the basis of colour pattern and a slightly shorter caudal peduncle (length 2.3–2.9 versus 1.8–2.3 in head length). It is distinguished by an overall yellowish brown colour, yellow pelvic fins, and yellow areas posteriorly on the dorsal and anal fins. In contrast, C. amboinensis is overall brownish grey with white pelvic fins, and whitish or translucent areas posteriorly on the dorsal and anal fins. The two species occur sympatrically in Papua New Guinea, but exhibit marked habitat partitioning, with C. howsoni the only species present in sheltered coastal inlets and C. amboinensis vastly outnumbering C.
