  • An Initial Appreciation of the Dialect Situation in Saluan and Batui (Eastern Sulawesi, Indonesia)
    DigitalResources Electronic Survey Report 2015-013 An Initial Appreciation of the Dialect Situation in Saluan and Batui (Eastern Sulawesi, Indonesia) David Mead and Edy Pasanda An Initial Appreciation of the Dialect Situation in Saluan and Batui (Eastern Sulawesi, Indonesia) David Mead and Edy Pasanda Maps prepared by Matt Connor and John Noya SIL International® 2015 SIL Electronic Survey Report 2015-013, November 2015 © 2015 SIL International® All rights reserved Abstract In the eastern peninsula of the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, the fifteenth edition of the Ethnologue (Gordon 2005) lists two Saluan languages: Coastal Saluan and Kahumamahon Saluan. Based on a survey of the Saluan area conducted in July, 2006, we conclude that this division is unjustified—only one Saluan language need be recognized, though with various dialects as we explore in this paper. Our conclusions are based on a consideration of lexical similarity (lexicostatistics), historical sound change, and informal sociolinguistic interviews. During the course of this survey, we also collected information on the small Batui lect, also known in the literature as Baha, and previously classified as a dialect of Pamona. In actuality Batui is a language closely related to Saluan. With the merger of Coastal and Kahumamahon Saluan as a single language and the recognition of Batui as a separate language, the total number of recognized languages in the Saluan-Banggai microgroup remains at six languages. An appendix presents eleven wordlists from Saluan and one from Batui. Contents

  • Workpapers in Indonesian Languages and Cultures
    WORKPAPERS IN INDONESIAN LANGUAGES AND CULTURES Volume 11 UNHAS-SIL MORE SULA~WESI SOCIOLINGUISTIC SURVEYS • 1987-1991 THE SUMMER INSTITUTE OF LINGUISTICS IN COOPERATION ~WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND CULTURE TIlE SUMMER INSTITUTE OF LINGUISTICS~ IN COOPERATION WIlli TIlE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND CULTURE 1991 FOREWORD An earlier volume of this Workpapers in Indonesian Languages and Cultures, Volume 5, reported on 'UNHAS-SIL South Sulawesi Sociolinguistic Surveys, 1983-1987. The current volume reports on several more such surveys. Whereas the former volume was entIrely devoted to languages of South Sulawesi, the present report encompasses languages from both South and Central Sulawesi. The Tae' language reported here alone is found entirely in South Sulawesi. The report on Padoe and MoTiBawah and Morl Atas represents languages spoken on both sides of the common border. The remaining four reports, those of Tajio, Balantak, Pamona, and Dondo, represent languages spoken in Central Sulawesi. As before, the reports contained herein represent uneven quality and depth of research. Yet all of them represent a significant step fOrward with respect to our knowledge of the languages and the peoples that speak them. As this format is that of working papers, no real effort has been made to make the individual papers conform to a single format. It seems good to summarize here the current state of language survey for the island of Sulawesi. The foundational work on Central Sulawesi is that of Barr, Barr and Salombe, Languages of Central Sulawesi (1979). It is our hope that additional followup surveys like those reported for South Sulawesi in Volume 5 will yet be undertaken to supplement our knowledge of Central Sulawesi.

  • Lexicostatistic and Sociolinguistic Survey of Balantak and Andio
    LEXICOSTATISTIC AND SOCIOLINGUISTIC SURVEY OF BALANTAK AND ANOIO Robert L. Busenitz Cooperative Program of Hasanuddin University and The Summer Institute of Linguistics 0. INTRODUCTIONl The UNHAS-SIL Cooperative Program initiated work in Central Sulawesi with a survey of the languages of this province; this resulted in the publication in 1979 of Languages of Central Sulawesi by Donald F. Barr, Sharon G. Barr, and C. Salombe. This survey used the Swadesh lOO·item wordlist to compare lexical similarity auons twenty-two of some twenty-four languages of Central Sulawesi. An appendix of the publication contains the wordlists used in that study, and includes sin~le word lists for Balgntak, Andio, and Saluan, three languages spoken In the Banggai kabupaten 'district'. Based on their leXical similarity, these three languages are classified as belonging to the Saluan subgroup of the eastern group of Central Sulawesi languages (1979:22f). After beginning a field program and an indepth study of the Balantak language in the village of Dolom, 'Balantak kecamatan 'suhdistrict', we saw the need to investigate further the dialect variation within the Balantak language as spoken In Balantak and Lamala, the two subdistricts which are the homeland of the Balantak people, as well as its relationship to the neighboring languages of Andio and Saluan. We also wanted to know more about language use and language attitudes throughout the region and the implications for vernacular literature. This paper reports some of our initial efforts to investigate these areas. The Andio language area, like a beachhead on the coastline of the Lamala subdistrict, is located near some fertile rice plains and surrounded by Balantak-speaking people.

  • Some Principles on the Use of Macro-Areas in Typological Comparison
    Language Dynamics and Change 4 (2014) 167–187 brill.com/ldc Some Principles on the Use of Macro-Areas in Typological Comparison Harald Hammarström Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics & Centre for Language Studies, Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, The Netherlands [email protected] Mark Donohue Department of Linguistics, Australian National University, Australia [email protected] Abstract While the notion of the ‘area’ or ‘Sprachbund’ has a long history in linguistics, with geographically-defined regions frequently cited as a useful means to explain typolog- ical distributions, the problem of delimiting areas has not been well addressed. Lists of general-purpose, largely independent ‘macro-areas’ (typically continent size) have been proposed as a step to rule out contact as an explanation for various large-scale linguistic phenomena. This squib points out some problems in some of the currently widely-used predetermined areas, those found in the World Atlas of Language Struc- tures (Haspelmath et al., 2005). Instead, we propose a principled division of the world’s landmasses into six macro-areas that arguably have better geographical independence properties.
