For this special occasion we decided to relax the WWPL policy guidelines and invite contributions from linguists around the world who have drawn inspiration from Liz’s work. The resulting Festschrift brings together papers from the wide range of subject areas spanned by Liz’s research interests: historical linguistics, Romance linguistics, syntactic theory, Austronesian linguistics, and language documentation. We realise that our decision to keep the Festschrift a surprise has meant that our invitation could only reach a small subset of those who have benefitted from interacting with Liz. Even so, the diversity of the contributions is a fitting tribute to the many ways in which Liz has enriched our lives and the field of linguistics, both as a scholar and a friend. Thank you, Liz, from all of us who have signed the tabula congratulatoria and no doubt many others. Heidi Quinn, Diane Massam, Lisa Matthewson August 2017 Tabula congratulatoria “Non sta scritto da nessuna parte che non ce la puoi fare.” ― Elena Ferrante, L’amica geniale The following colleagues and friends of Elizabeth Pearce would like to express their best wishes on the occasion of her retirement from Victoria University of Wellington. Thank you for all your inspiration, collegiality, and friendship – and Congratulations, Liz! Ngā mihi nui me te aroha nui! Toutes nos félicitations à l'occasion de votre retrait!

Laurie Bauer In an X’-grammar, the metarules on the formalisation of rules require that any phrasal node is rewritten as one node with the same number of bars as the dominating node or one less, and otherwise only phrasal categories. Since most X’-bar grammars also have a requirement of binarity, this means that any phrasal node must be rewritten as one (optional) phrasal category and a category (which may or may not be phrasal) which includes the head of the construction. That is, we find trees like that in (1): 1. If we extend this to noun phrases, then any NP has to be rewritten with structures that eventually contain an N (if it was not, it could not be an NP). This means that if we want to draw a tree for the sentence in (2) we have to have an NP in the subject which dominates (directly or indirectly) the N Liz, which is precisely what is done by Jackendoff (1987) and, at least implicitly, by Longobardi (1994). 2. Liz is retiring. The difficulty with this is that if we look at the distribution of Liz, it is not an N but an NP (Payne & Huddleston 2002: 516).1 Consider the substitution tables in (3) and (4). 3. Liz is retiring She The person who lectures in syntax A syntax lecturer 1 Payne & Huddleston (2002) do not use a DP analysis, but have determiners as modifiers within the NP; for those who do use DPs, it might be more accurate to say names are DPs. Linguistic travels in time and space: Festschrift for Liz Pearce Wellington Working Papers in Linguistics 23 (2017) 1–4 2 Wellington Working Papers in Linguistics 4. A Ø colleague is retiring This valued *she Our2 fit3 *Liz The problem is that there is no way in an X’-grammar that a lexical item like Liz can belong to a phrasal category, and yet this seems to be what is required. There are alternative solutions. Perhaps Liz is not an NP but a NameP, so that Liz is a Name. This still does not resolve the problem that Liz seems to act as a phrase rather than as an element within a phrase, though it does help with the fact that, in English, personal names like Liz do not in general take determiners: a DP could allow an NP but not a NameP within it. But if we assume the word-class theory of Chomsky (1970), there are only four word-classes available: noun, verb, adjective and adposition, defined by the feature set [±N], [±V]. In such a model Name cannot be a new word- class (and neither, actually, can adverb, to which appeal was made in (1)). So perhaps name is a feature on an N rather than a word-class in its own right. The feature would bar the use of modifiers with names like Liz. That might work if NP included determiners, but under a DP analysis it would have the presence or absence of a determiner being provoked by a feature on a node in the non-head position of the DP. There is another set of facts, however, which might be taken to imply that the usage illustrated in (2) is atypical, and that items like Liz are really nouns after all (this is the conclusion drawn by Longobardi 1994: 636). The relevant constructions are like those in (5). 5. a. The Liz we know and love. b. There is no Liz in this house. c.

    Puana 'Ia Me Ka 'Oko'a: a Comparative Analysis of Hawaiian

    Vol. 5 (2011), pp. 107-133 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4494 Puana ‘Ia me ka ‘Oko‘a: A Comparative Analysis of Hawaiian Language Pronunciation as Spoken and Sung Joseph Keola Donaghy University of Hawai‘i at Hilo and University of Otago, New Zealand In this paper I argue that the differences between spoken Hawaiian and vocal perfor- mance of western-influenced “traditional” Hawaiian music are representative of the linguistic diversity found within the Hawaiian language. It contains a comparative analysis of Hawaiian Language Pronunciation as Spoken and Sung, using transcriptions of recorded examples by John Kameaaloha Almeida, a native speaker of the Hawaiian language and a prominent composer, singer, and instrumentalist. It will provide a pho- nemic analysis of notable and predictable variations heard in Hawaiian language vocal performances that are not heard in spoken Hawaiian. Further, it will show that rhythmic arrangement of morae over strong beats in the musical measure is largely analogous to accent in spoken Hawaiian, with some predictable exceptions. The paper also documents how, during his vocal performance, Almeida added three non-lexical vocables not heard in spoken Hawaiian. I argue that these characteristics and variation are indicative of the linguistic diversity found within the Hawaiian language and, as such, are worthy of the same attention and scholarly scrutiny as spoken Hawaiian. The second goal of this applied research is to present the results in a manner that is accessible to practitioners of Hawaiian language performance. 1. INTRODUCTION.1 One day during my time as an undergraduate student in the Hawaiian Studies program at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, I was listening to a record- ing of Rev.

    Bislama Into Kwamera: Code-Mixing and Language Change on Tanna (Vanuatu)

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ScholarSpace at University of Hawai'i at Manoa Vol. 1, No. 2 (December 2007), pp. 216–239 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ Bislama into Kwamera: Code-mixing and Language Change on Tanna (Vanuatu) Lamont Lindstrom University of Tulsa People throughout Vanuatu frequently mix Bislama (that country’s national Pidgin) into their vernaculars. Extensive code-mixing is an obvious indicator, and sometime cause, of language change or even language replacement. This paper discusses several sorts of Bislama code-mixing on Tanna among speakers of that island’s Kwamera language. It assesses levels and kinds of Bislama use in four village debates, tape-recorded in 1982 and 1983. Among other uses, Kwamera speakers mix Bislama when interjecting, reiterating, reporting speech, neutralizing marked vernacular terms, and qualifying what they say. The paper concludes with some remarks on the phonological, morphological/syntactic, and lexical/semantic consequences of recurrent language mixing—on how Islanders’ insertions of Bislama into their oratorical and everyday talk may or may not be effecting linguistic change in Kwamera. Bislama, so far at least, has enriched more than it has impoverished Tanna’s linguistic ecology. Speakers’ frequent Bislama mixes have not yet seriously undermined their vernacular. 1. INTRODUCTION. On the island of Tanna, Vanuatu, many people say that they don’t speak their language the way they used to. This language is Kwamera—or, to give it its local name, Nɨninɨfe1 or Nɨfe (Lindstrom 1986; Lindstrom and Lynch 1994). Around 3,500 people living along Tanna’s southeastern coasts speak Kwamera.

  • Re-Membering Quirós, Bougainville and Cook in Vanuatu

    Re-Membering Quirós, Bougainville and Cook in Vanuatu

    Chapter 3 The Sediment of Voyages: Re-membering Quirós, Bougainville and Cook in Vanuatu Margaret Jolly Introduction: An Archipelago of Names This chapter juxtaposes the voyages of Quirós in 1606 and those eighteenth-century explorations of Bougainville and Cook in the archipelago we now call Vanuatu.1 In an early and influential work Johannes Fabian (1983) suggested that, during the period which separates these voyages, European constructions of the ªotherº underwent a profound transformation. How far do the materials of these voyages support such a view? Here I consider the traces of these journeys through the lens of this vaunted transformation and in relation to local sedimentations (and vaporisations) of memory. Vanuatu is the name of this archipelago of islands declared at independence in 1980 ± vanua ªlandº and tu ªto stand up, endure; be independentº (see figure 3.1). Both words are drawn from one of the 110 vernacular languages still spoken in the group. But, alongside this indigenous name, there are many foreign place names, the perduring traces of the movement of early European voyagers: Espiritu Santo ± the contraction of Terra Austrialia del Espiritu Santo, the name given by Quirós in 1606;2 Pentecost ± the Anglicisation of Île de Pentecôte, conferred by Bougainville, who sighted this island on Whitsunday, 22 May 1768; Malakula, Erromango and Tanna ± the contemporary spellings of the Mallicollo, Erromanga and Tanna conferred by Cook who named the archipelago the New Hebrides in 1774, a name which, for foreigners at least, lasted from that date till 1980.3 Fortunately, some of these foreign names proved more ephemeral: the island we now know as Ambae, Bougainville called Île des Lepreux (Isle of Lepers), apparently because he mistook the pandemic skin conditions of tinea imbricata or leucodermia for signs of leprosy.

    The Laterwriting of Abraham Fornander, 1870-1887 A

The paper addresses the politics, religion, and society that informed Fornander's research and writing, then focuses more closely on his book, An Account ofthe Polynesian Race and international response to it. Fornander's tenacity in promoting his Western worldview and his efforts to advance his career infused his writings and, in the end, served to overshadow existing indigenous language and culture, hastening deterioration ofboth. Utilizing correspondence, early writing for newspapers, and other archival information, the paper demonstrates his attempts to attain authentic status for himselfand his work. Though inconclusive in terms ofproving Fornander's complicity with colonialism, the thesis presents another viewing ofone man's work and begs a previously hidden discussion. 111 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 Purpose ofthe study 7 Methodology 10 Background to the study 13 Language and Colonization , 15 Representing Others 17 Collecting Cultures 21 19th Century Hawai'i 25 Abraham Fomander 30 Fomander's Newswriting 34 Fomander's Philological Research 50 Response to An Account ofthe Polynesian Race 61 Discussion and implications 75 Postscript 78 Appendix A: Letter from Rollin Daggett to Abraham Fomander 82 Appendix B: Letter from Abraham Fomander to Rollin Daggett.

    Possession in Lelepa, a Language of Central Vanuatu

    POSSESSION IN LELEPA, A LANGUAGE OF CENTRAL VANUATU by Sébastien Lacrampe A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Linguistics School of Language, Arts and Media Pacific Languages Unit The University of the South Pacific March, 2009 DECLARATION I, Sebastien Lacrampe, declare that this thesis is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge, it contains no material previously published, or substantially overlapping with material submitted for the award of any other degree at any institution, except where due acknowledgement is made in the text. The research in this thesis was performed under my supervision and to my knowledge is the sola work of Mr. Sebastien Lacrampe. ABSTRACT This thesis studies possession in Lelepa, a language from the Oceanic subgroup of Austronesian, spoken in Central Vanuatu. Investigating this particular feature of the language was achieved by collecting original data from Lelepa speakers. Language data is presented in the form of interlinearised examples taken from a corpus of texts and elicitation notes. Data was collected between 2006 and 2008 during fieldtrips to Lelepa and Mangaliliu. The core of the study is devoted to the possessive system of Lelepa. Like many other Oceanic languages, Lelepa has direct and indirect possessive constructions. This thesis shows that the direct possessive construction formally consists of a possessed noun to which a possessor suffix attaches. It encodes possession of semantic domains such as body parts, body products, reference kinship terms, items closely associated to the possessor and parts of wholes. Indirect possession is expressed by two distinct subtypes: the free and construct indirect constructions.
  • Effects of Language Contact on Hawaiian: a Brief Review

    Effects of Language Contact on Hawaiian: a Brief Review

    Asian and African Languages and Linguistics, No.14, 2020 Effects of Language Contact on Hawaiian: A Brief Review IWASAKI, Kanae The University of Tokyo This paper discusses the influence of immigrant languages, especially English, on Hawaiian. Shortly after the Hawaiian ‘first contact’ with Western culture, immigrants from all over the world arrived on the Hawaii islands, mainly from the 1850s to the 1910s. This brought two types of changes to Hawaiian: the rise of Pidgin Hawaiian and changes to Indigenous Hawaiian. First, the grammatical characteristics of Pidgin Hawaiian are introduced based on previous research. Second, the influence of contact on Hawaiian’s lexicon, types of written texts, and grammar are addressed. Although lexical influence and the rise of different types of texts written in Hawaiian are relatively salient, the grammatical influence is more difficult to recognize. This paper attempts to investigate it with numerical data related to “directionals” and the “(so-called) nominalizer” in Hawaiian. The results are not clear; thus, it is suggested that a newer approach may be required to more accurately evaluate the influence of language contact. Keywords: Hawaiian, language contact, grammatical description, Pidgin Hawaiian, modern Hawaiian 1. Brief history of language and immigration in Hawaii 2. Types of influence 3. Pidgin Hawaiian 4. Influence on Hawaiian 5. Further questions: evaluation of the influence 1. Brief history of language and immigration in Hawaii There have been several major languages spoken in Hawaii between the 18th century and today, and there is no doubt that currently English has the largest number of speakers, but Hawaii’s Indigenous language is Hawaiian.
