  • Computing a World Tree of Languages from Word Lists
    From words to features to trees: Computing a world tree of languages from word lists Gerhard Jäger Tübingen University Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies October 16, 2017 Gerhard Jäger (Tübingen) Words to trees HITS 1 / 45 Introduction Introduction Gerhard Jäger (Tübingen) Words to trees HITS 2 / 45 Introduction Language change and evolution The formation of dierent languages and of distinct species, and the proofs that both have been developed through a gradual process, are curiously parallel. [...] We nd in distinct languages striking homologies due to community of descent, and analogies due to a similar process of formation. The manner in which certain letters or sounds change when others change is very like correlated growth. [...] The frequent presence of rudiments, both in languages and in species, is still more remarkable. [...] Languages, like organic beings, can be classed in groups under groups; and they can be classed either naturally according to descent, or articially by other characters. Dominant languages and dialects spread widely, and lead to the gradual extinction of other tongues.

  • 189 Tom Güldemann and Anne-Maria Fehn
    book reviews 189 Tom Güldemann and Anne-Maria Fehn (eds.) 2014. Beyond ‘Khoisan’. Historical Relations in the Kalahari Basin. xii, 331 pages. Amsterdam / Philadelphia: John Benjamins Publishing Company, Current Issues in Linguistic Theory 330. The so-called Khoisan languages, which are famous for their phonemic clicks, are still spoken today in wide areas of Botswana and Namibia as well as sev- eral adjacent regions. The volume under discussion also shows this on a map (p. 12), which, however, deliberately omits the two Tanzanian representatives Hadza and Sandawe (see the figure on p. 27): They are too far away to be indi- cated on a map of this scale. More importantly, they fall outside the scope of this volume, which is restricted, according to its subtitle, to the Kalahari Basin. The main title Beyond ‘Khoisan’ still underlines the fact that the editors primar- ily pursue an areal linguistic approach and that their main aim is to challenge the idea of a homogeneous Khoisan language family. This becomes obvious in the back cover text, which criticises any attempt at establishing a Khoisan fam- ily as lacking the proper evidence and praises the volume for its interdisciplin- ary analyses of the complex situation. Ironically, the work coming under fire here is lacking in the list of references (p. 308), namely the article by Greenberg (1954). As a matter of fact, however, this early contribution excludes the two Tanzanian languages Hadza and Sandawe from the “Khoisan” concept, which unites the Northern, Central and Southern groups in southern Africa (Green- berg, 1954: map). The volume includes eleven contributions, divided into an introduction and four main parts, by thirteen different authors.

  • Abstract Booklet SWL6.Pdf
    Innovative 1PL Subject Constructions in Finnish and Consequences to Object Marking Rigina Ajanki, University of Helsinki As most of the Uralic languages, Finnish makes use of suffixal person marking in conjugation and declination. The phenomenom is not an example of canonical agreement, but as Haspelmath (2013) suggests, best described in terms of two kinds of person marking, morphological and syntactic, not necessarily dependent of each other. In Colloquial Finnish, the 1PL person suffix in verbal conjugation is hardly ever employed but instead, Impersonal Construction (Finnish Passive) is applied with free 1PL subject pronoun to encode 1PL subject. Due to the replacement of 1PL conjugational construction by Impersonal construction, another previously unexisting pattern has become general in Colloquial Finnish: occurence of a Nominative Object in a construction with a Nominative Subject, not taken into account in (Sands&Campbell 2001), see Examples 1 and 2. Encoding of Finnish Object varies to the extent that Objects are either in Genitive-Accusative or in Partitive, and when there is no Nominative Subject, Object is in Nominative instead of Genitive-Accusative. The novel construction makes an exception: it is morphosyntactically unexpected as in these constructions both, Subject and Object are encoded in Nominative. The asymmetry found in novel 1PL Construction with non- canonical object marking has neither a semantic ground. The present study claims that with the emergence of the new 1PL Subject Transitive Constructions Finnish grammar has gone through a profound innovation. The data is drawn from vernacular, compared with data from dialects and from the data base of Mikael Agricola‘s works from 16th century.

Introduction In this paper we combine regional anthropological comparison, historical linguistics and phylogenetic comparative methodology (PCM) in addressing the historical relationships between the languages of the three South African ʻKhoisanʼ2 families, Kxʼa, Tuu and Khoe- Kwadi (see Güldemann, introduction, this volume). Since the data on extinct Kwadi are insufficient, this language had to be excluded, so that we will hereafter only refer to Khoe. Generally, the demonstrable linguistic relationships within Kxʼa (Heine & Honken 2010), Tuu (Güldemann 2005), and Khoe (Vossen 1997) imply original family-specific sibling terminologies with relevant lexemes as part of the proto-languages used within a social culture of the proto- societies (cf.

Many of these languages currently have no or very limited language resources available, and are often structurally quite different from more well-resourced languages, therefore requiring the development and use of specialized techniques. The Resources for African Indigenous Languages (RAIL) workshop is an interdisciplinary platform for researchers working on resources (data collections, tools, etc.) specifically targeted towards African indigenous languages to provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art and emphasize the availability of African indigenous language resources, including both data and tools.
