Manila: Linguistic Society of the Philippines. Linguistic Society of the Philippines Special Monograph Issue, Number 35 The Philippine Journal of Linguistics is the official publication of the Linguistic Society of the Philippines. It publishes studies in descriptive, comparative, historical, and areal linguistics. Although its primary interest is in linguistic theory, it also publishes papers on the application of theory to language teaching, sociolinguistics, etc. Papers on applied linguistics should, however, be chiefly concerned with the principles which underlie specific techniques. Articles are published in English, although papers written in Filipino, an official language of the Philippines, will occasionally appear. Since the Linguistic Society of the Philippines is composed of members whose paramount interests are the Philippine languages, papers on these and related languages are given priority in publication. This does not mean, however, that the journal will limit its scope to the Austronesian language family. Studies on any aspect of language structure are welcome. Manuscripts for publication, exchange journals, and books for review or listing should be sent to the Editor, Andrew B. Gonzalez, FSC, De La Salle University, 2401 Taft Avenue, Manila, Philippines. Manuscripts from the United States and Europe should be sent to Dr. Lawrence A. Reid, Pacific and Asia Linguistics Institute, University of Hawaii, 1980 East-West Road, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822, U.S.A.

Manila: Linguistic Society of the Philippines. Foreward Papers from the First Asian International Lexicography Conference, edited by Leonard Newell and Bonifacio P. Sibayan, contains the papers presented at the First International Lexicography Conference held in Manila on October 5 to 9, 1992. In the minds of the organizers of the conference, it was time to bring together different lexicographers in the Asian region to meet and exchange notes on how the discipline of lexicography was developing in this part of the world and to disseminate information on on-going projects of a lexicographical nature being done in each country represented. The conference was fortunate in having Professor Ladislav Zgusta of the University of Illinois at Urbana not only keynote the workshop conference but likewise address the assembly each day to expound on different aspects of current lexicography. These lectures he has compiled in a forward-looking article in this volume entitled "Lexicography for the Twenty-First Century." The second set of papers give short reports on completed and on-going as well as plannctl lexicography projects in different countries for various languages: Three aboriginal languages (Alaway, Banjalang and Tiwi) from Australia, Kadazan in Borneo, Malay in Brunei Darussalani, Bahasa Malaysia, Napali, Philippine languages. Among this set of papers are likewise bilingu;~l and trilingual dictionaries for Alawa (Australia), English-Malay, Thai-Khmu-English, Bicol- Spanish-English, Filipino-Chamorro-English, English dictionaries in Papua New Guinea, and il dialect dictionary of Bajalang, an Australian language. The third set of papers, which were used during the workshops held, were more practicitl in nature and tackled practical problems in actual dictionary compilation: a terminology database for the Polynesian languages and an English-in-Asia database, parts of speech in n lexicon, standard forms of base words, verb citations, science vocabularies, morphophonernic representation, arrangements in dictionaries which use characters rather than an alphabet, and lexicon problems in a language in the process of systematically borrowing loanwords from ils sister languages in a country to qualify as a national language. The fourth set represents the future in the use of computers as an instrument Sor- Icxicography: a practical multi-language data-base program, computer automated semantic classification for lexical analysis, computer processing of texts for lexical analysis. The papers thus represent a significant indicator of the state-of-the-art as far as the Asian region is concerned and the type of work being done in lexicography in the countries wherc reports were forthcoming. As expected, the group enthusiastically endorsed the idea 01' continuing linkages, informing each other of on-going work (through a newsletter), and planning for a future conference of the same nature to discuss the progress made a few years after 1992. Linguists intcrcsted in that aspect of linguistic structure which bases language on rcality and reprcsents thc li~cuswhere content and expression interface, had better pay attention

  • Absorption of Arabic Words in Malay Language
    ABSORPTION OF ARABIC WORDS IN MALAY LANGUAGE Noor Azlina Zaidan a, Muhammad Azhar Zailaini b, Wail Muin Ismail c a,b,c Faculty of Education, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. b Corresponding author: [email protected] Available at http://www.ssrn.com/link/OIDA-Intl-Journal-Sustainable-Dev.html ISSN 1923-6654 (print) ISSN 1923-6662 (online). Ontario International Development Agency, Canada. © Authours et al Abstract: Malaysia is a developing country in South-East Asia. As a dynamic and developing country economically, cultural and education, Malaysia borrows a lot of languages such as Portuguese, Netherland, Chinese, English and Arabic. Arabic itself a Quranic language is used in Muslim’s everyday (especially) spiritual life. This research analyzes the classification of Arabic borrowed words (after this “loanword”) in Malay language based on theory of typology. The objectives of the study were to identify the Arabic loanwords (after this “the words”) in Malay language (after this “recipient language”) in premier Malay language dictionary, “Kamus Dewan” by the abbreviation “Ar” (Arab) as etymology of the words, to get the percentage of words which commonly used in current Malay speaking and writing. Also it attempted to calculate the percentage of both types of words which were fully absorbed in Malay language as model language (Arabic) and which words have undergone some changes by identifying the phonemic elements in the words. The analysis to the words will be done based on Jawi writing (“Jawi” is a term of Arab alphabet with some phoneme additions in Malay language) which has been applied in Malay language since Islamization in Malay Archipelago in early 14 th century when Arabs came to trade and spread Islam religion.

  • HOW UNIVERSAL IS AGENT-FIRST? EVIDENCE from SYMMETRICAL VOICE LANGUAGES Sonja Riesberg Kurt Malcher Nikolaus P
    HOW UNIVERSAL IS AGENT-FIRST? EVIDENCE FROM SYMMETRICAL VOICE LANGUAGES Sonja Riesberg Kurt Malcher Nikolaus P. Himmelmann Universität zu Köln and Universität zu Köln Universität zu Köln The Australian National University Agents have been claimed to be universally more prominent than verbal arguments with other thematic roles. Perhaps the strongest claim in this regard is that agents have a privileged role in language processing, specifically that there is a universal bias for the first unmarked argument in an utterance to be interpreted as an agent. Symmetrical voice languages such as many western Austronesian languages challenge claims about agent prominence in various ways. Inter alia, most of these languages allow for both ‘agent-first’ and ‘undergoer-first’ orders in basic transitive con - structions. We argue, however, that they still provide evidence for a universal ‘agent-first’ princi - ple. Inasmuch as these languages allow for word-order variation beyond the basic set of default patterns, such variation will always result in an agent-first order. Variation options in which un - dergoers are in first position are not attested. The fact that not all transitive constructions are agent-first is due to the fact that there are competing ordering biases, such as the principles dictat - ing that word order follows constituency or the person hierarchy, as also illustrated with Aus - tronesian data.* Keywords : agent prominence, person prominence, word order, symmetrical voice, western Aus - tronesian 1. Introduction. Natural languages show a strong tendency to place agent argu - ments before other verbal arguments, as seen, inter alia, in the strong predominance of word-order types in which S is placed before O (SOV, SVO, and VSO account for more than 80% of the basic word orders attested in the languages of the world; see Dryer 2013).

  • Phonemic Instability: a Butterfly Effect
    PHONEMIC INSTABILITY: A BUTTERFLY EFFECT PAROMA SANYAL REENA ASHEM Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi, India 1xxIntroduction Can an imperceptibly tiny change in the relative ranking of a markedness constraint lead to phonemic instability and ultimately sound change in a language? In this paper we predict that this could indeed be the case when the phonological processes that take place within a certain morpho-phonological domain result in a particular phoneme being reinterpreted as marked by new learners of the language. According to McCarthy and Prince (1994), The Emergence of the Unmarked is a generalization about markedness constraints that are otherwise invisible in a language becoming visible in certain marked domains. While a markedness constraint C 'in the language as a whole, may be roundly violated, but in a particular domain it is obeyed exactly.' Now imagine the scenario where a markedness constraint C is ranked so low in the language that it is invisible for all practical purposes. However, when the satisfaction of a complex set of well-formedness constraints within a marked domain coincides with a systematic violation of C, it is possible for new learners of the language to re-rank C higher in the language. Thus the surface realization of phonological well-formedness conditions, if coincidentally localized to particular phonemes, rather than being distributed over a range of environments, could trigger phonemic instability and eventual sound change in the language. The Tibeto-Burman language Meiteilon, spoken in the state of Manipur in India, we claim, has a similar reanalysis taking place in its current phonological grammar. Meiteilon, like most other Tibeto-Burman languages of the region has rich inflectional morphology that attaches as suffixes to monosyllabic nominal or verbal roots.

  • Introductory Phonology
    3 More on Phonemes 3.1 Phonemic Analysis and Writing The question of phonemicization is in principle independent from the question of writing; that is, there is no necessary connection between letters and phonemes. For example, the English phoneme /e}/ can be spelled in quite a few ways: say /se}/, Abe /e}b/, main /me}n/, beige /be}è/, reggae /cryge}/, H /e}tà/. Indeed, there are languages (for example, Mandarin Chinese) that are written with symbols that do not correspond to phonemes at all. Obviously, there is at least a loose connection between alphabetic letters and phonemes: the designers of an alphabet tend to match up the written symbols with the phonemes of a language. Moreover, the conscious intuitions of speakers about sounds tend to be heavily influenced by their knowledge of spelling – after all, most literate speakers receive extensive training in how to spell during child- hood, but no training at all in phonology. Writing is prestigious, and our spoken pronunciations are sometimes felt to be imperfect realizations of what is written. This is reflected in the common occur- rence of spelling pronunciations, which are pronunciations that have no historical basis, but which arise as attempts to mimic the spelling, as in often [cÑftvn] or palm [pwlm]. In contrast, most linguists feel that spoken language is primary, and that written language is a derived system, which is mostly parasitic off the spoken language and is often rather artificial in character. Some reasons that support this view are that spoken language is far older than writing, it is acquired first and with greater ease by children, and it is the common property of our species, rather than of just an educated subset of it.
