  • Reflections on Linguistic Fieldwork and Language Documentation in Eastern Indonesia
    Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 15 Reflections on Language Documentation 20 Years after Himmelmann 1998 ed. by Bradley McDonnell, Andrea L. Berez-Kroeker & Gary Holton, pp. 256–266 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ 25 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24827 Reflections on linguistic fieldwork and language documentation in eastern Indonesia Yusuf Sawaki Center for Endangered Languages Documentation, University of Papua I Wayan Arka Australia National University Udayana University In this paper, we reflect on linguistic fieldwork and language documentation activities in Eastern Indonesia. We first present the rich linguistic and biological diversity of this region, which is of significant interest in typological and theoretical linguistics and language documentation. We then discuss certain central educational issues in relation to human resources, infrastructures, and institutional support, critical for high quality research and documentation. We argue that the issues are multidimensional and complex across all levels, posing sociocultural challenges in capacity-building programs. Finally, we reflect on the significance of the participation oflocal fieldworkers and communities and their contextual training. 1. Introduction In this paper, we reflect on linguistic fieldwork and language documentation in Eastern Indonesia. By “Eastern Indonesia,” we mean the region that stretches from Nusa Tenggara to Papua,1 including Nusa Tenggara Timur, Sulawesi, and Maluku. This region is linguistically one of the most diverse regions in the world interms of the number of unrelated languages and their structural properties, further discussed in the next section. This is the region where Nikolaus Himmelmann has done his linguistic 1The term “Papua” is potentially confusing because it is used in two senses.

  • Corporatised Universities: an Educational and Cultural Disaster
    John Biggs and Richard Davis (eds), The Subversion of Australian Universities (Wollongong: Fund for Intellectual Dissent, 2002). Chapter 12 Corporatised universities: an educational and cultural disaster John Biggs Where from here? Australian universities have been heavily criticised in these pages, and some specific examples of where things have gone wrong have been reported in detail. Not everyone sees these events negatively, how- ever. Professor Don Aitken, until recently Vice-Chancellor of the University of Canberra, said: I remain optimistic about the future of higher education in Australia. … To regard what is happening to universities in Australia as simply the work of misguided politicians or managers is abysmally paro- chial.1 Are the authors in this book concentrating too much on the damage that has been done? Is a greater good emerging that we have missed so far? As was pointed out in the Preface, globalisation is upon us; it is less than helpful to command, Canute-like, the tide to retreat. Rather the wise thing would be to acknowledge what we cannot change, and focus on what we can change. At the least, we need a resolution that is more academically acceptable than the one we have. The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh, Professor Stuart Sutherland, in commenting on parallel changes in Britain, put it this way: 185 The subversion of Australian universities The most critical task for universities is to recreate a sense of our own worth by refashioning our understanding of our identity — our under- standing of what the word “university” means. …The trouble is that in the process of expansion and diversification, the place that universities had at the table has not simply been redefined; it has been lost.2 Australian universities too have lost their place at the table.

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.

  • 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.

He helped to shape the business world in which he operated and, in parallel, made outstanding contributions to Australian society. Cultural deprivation theory tells us that people who are working class have themselves to blame for the failure of their children in education1 and Alf was certainly from a low socio-economic, indeed extremely poor, family. He fitted such a child to the letter, although he later turned out to be an outstanding counter-example despite having no ‘built-in’ advantage as he not been socialised in a dominant wealthy culture.
