  • Sociological Factors in Reefs-Santa Cruz Language Vitality: a 40 Year Retrospective
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by RERO DOC Digital Library Sociological factors in Reefs-Santa Cruz language vitality: a 40 year retrospective BRENDA H. BOERGER, ÅSHILD NÆSS, ANDERS VAA, RACHEL EMERINE, and ANGELA HOOVER Abstract This article looks back over 40 years of language and culture change in the region of the Solomon Islands where the four Reefs-Santa Cruz (RSC) lan- guages are spoken. Taking the works of Davenport and Wurm as a starting point, we list specific linguistic changes we have identified and discuss the so- ciological factors which have both promoted and undermined the vitality of these languages. We then determine the level of vitality for each language through the recently proposed Extended Graded Intergenerational Disruption Scale — EGIDS (Lewis and Simons 2010), and based on our results for the RSC languages, we provide a short evaluation of the usefulness of EGIDS for prioritizing language documentation efforts. Keywords: Solomon Islands; Solomon Islands Pijin; Reefs-Santa Cruz; Natügu; Nalögo; Nagu; Äiwoo; EGIDS; language documenta- tion; language vitality. 1. Introduction Forty years ago, two authors wrote extensively about the anthropological and linguistic situation in the RSC language communities. Davenport (1962, 1964, 1975, 2005) described the cultural and sociological properties of both the Santa Cruz and Reef Islands cultures, Figure 1, including a description of trade rela- tionships within the Santa Cruz archipelago. At the same time Wurm (1969, 1970, 1972, 1976, 1978) analyzed the linguistic characteristics of the RSC languages. In his later work, Wurm (1991, 1992a, 1992b, 2000, 2002, 2003) also discussed language vitality in the region.

  • Are Vanikoro Languages Really Austronesian?
    Presentation Darrell Tryon (1994: 635) says: “The status of the six languages of Utupua and Vanikoro Are Vanikoro languages is in no doubt. These are clearly Austronesian languages by any standards.” really Austronesian? Focusing on the languages of Vanikoro, I'd like to show there is room for doubt on that assumption: either the languages of Vanikoro are not Austronesian or if they indeed are Austronesian, this is anything but ‘clear’, because most of their AN characteristics have disappeared. This paper will not come up with definite conclusions: at least I'd like to show there is a problem to be solved by future research A.L.L.2 ~ UKARG Alexandre FRANÇOIS — a problem overlooked by former accounts. Oxford, 3rd June 2006 LACITO — C.N.R.S — Paris After doing some fieldwork in Vanikoro, Darrell Tryon did not seem to Good afternoon. have any problem with the origin of these languages. He said: “The status of the six languages of Utupua and Vanikoro is in no doubt. These are clearly Austronesian languages by any standards.” I'd like to talk to you today about the languages of Vanikoro, and more precisely about the delicate issue of their genealogy. What I propose today is to show that such a conclusion, at least for Vanikoro, is far from obvious. In my opinion, there is some possibility that these languages are in fact not Austronesian; and even if they were proven to be indeed Austronesian, this would be anything but 'clear', because most of their Austronesian characteristics have disappeared. My paper will not necessarily come up with a definite conclusion; at least what I'd like to demonstrate today, is that there is a problem that deserves to be addressed by future research – a problem which had been overlooked until now.
