  • Computing a World Tree of Languages from Word Lists
    From words to features to trees: Computing a world tree of languages from word lists Gerhard Jäger Tübingen University Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies October 16, 2017 Gerhard Jäger (Tübingen) Words to trees HITS 1 / 45 Introduction Introduction Gerhard Jäger (Tübingen) Words to trees HITS 2 / 45 Introduction Language change and evolution The formation of dierent languages and of distinct species, and the proofs that both have been developed through a gradual process, are curiously parallel. [...] We nd in distinct languages striking homologies due to community of descent, and analogies due to a similar process of formation. The manner in which certain letters or sounds change when others change is very like correlated growth. [...] The frequent presence of rudiments, both in languages and in species, is still more remarkable. [...] Languages, like organic beings, can be classed in groups under groups; and they can be classed either naturally according to descent, or articially by other characters. Dominant languages and dialects spread widely, and lead to the gradual extinction of other tongues.

  • Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands
    Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands First compiled by Nancy Sack and Gwen Sinclair Updated by Nancy Sack Current to January 2020 Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands Background An inquiry from a librarian in Micronesia about how to identify subject headings for the Pacific islands highlighted the need for a list of authorized Library of Congress subject headings that are uniquely relevant to the Pacific islands or that are important to the social, economic, or cultural life of the islands. We reasoned that compiling all of the existing subject headings would reveal the extent to which additional subjects may need to be established or updated and we wish to encourage librarians in the Pacific area to contribute new and changed subject headings through the Hawai‘i/Pacific subject headings funnel, coordinated at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.. We captured headings developed for the Pacific, including those for ethnic groups, World War II battles, languages, literatures, place names, traditional religions, etc. Headings for subjects important to the politics, economy, social life, and culture of the Pacific region, such as agricultural products and cultural sites, were also included. Scope Topics related to Australia, New Zealand, and Hawai‘i would predominate in our compilation had they been included. Accordingly, we focused on the Pacific islands in Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia (excluding Hawai‘i and New Zealand). Island groups in other parts of the Pacific were also excluded. References to broader or related terms having no connection with the Pacific were not included. Overview This compilation is modeled on similar publications such as Music Subject Headings: Compiled from Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Subject Headings in Jewish Studies.

  • Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Introduction Introduction
    Chapter 1 Introduction This thesis is primarily a description of the phonology, morphology and syntax of the Menggwa dialect of the Dla language, a Papuan language spoken on both sides of the vertical 141°E borderline between Papua New Guinea and Papua Province of Indonesia (also known as Papua Barat West Papua) 1 at around 3°40′S, about a hundred kilometres inland from the northern coast. There are two dialects of Dla: Menggwa Dla is the minority dialect, and it is spoken by around 200 people; the majority dialect, which I call Dla proper, has around 1000 speakers. The ‘×’ in map 1.1 below shows the approximate centre point of Dla territory in New Guinea. (see also map 1.2 in §1.2.1 and map 1.14 in §1.4.4). Map 1.1 Location of Dla territory in New Guinea Jayapura Regency, Papua, Indonesia (West Papua) Sandaun Province, Papua New Guinea 1 Papua New Guinea is pronounced as [ˈˈˈˈpapapapapua niuˈˈˈˈɡiɡiɡiɡini] in Tok Pisin/ English, while Papua is pronounced as [paˈˈˈˈpupupupua] in Papuan Malay/ Indonesian. 1 The term ‘Papuan languages’ — as used by linguists 2 — refers to a group languages spoken in New Guinea and surrounding areas; most languages native to New Guinea are Papuan languages, and there are also some Papuan languages spoken in the Louisiade, Bismarck and Solomon Islands to the east, Torres Strait Islands to the south, and Halmahera and Timor-Alor-Pantar islands to the west. Papuan languages do not form one single genealogically-defined language family; in fact there are many genealogically unrelated language families of various sizes and isolates amongst Papuan languages.

  • Poor Pronoun Systems and What They Teach Us
    Poor pronoun systems and what they teach us Daniel Harbour Queen Mary, University of London Abstract The world’s smallest pronoun systems can eschew any of the following contrasts: (i) author–nonauthor, (ii) participant–nonparticipant, (iii) singular–nonsingular. This supports the view that features are mu- tually independent parameters (Harbour 2011a, 2014a, 2014b), but is problematic for Koeneman and Zeijlstra’s (2014) recent reworking of the Rich Agreement Hypothesis, which is predicated on the claim that (i)–(iii) are universally obligatory. 1. Introduction Attempting to rehabilitate the connection between verb movement and rich subject agreement, Koene- man and Zeijlstra(2014), henceforth REHAB, promulgate a “new observation”: that “even the most minimal pronominal systems in the world have at least forms distinguishing between (i) speaker and non-speaker (ii) participant and non-participant and (iii) plural and non-plural”. REHAB takes this to entail that “all languages in the world show at least featural distinctions with respect to [speaker], [participant] and [plural] in their pronominal systems (cf. Greenberg 1963, Harley & Ritter 2002, Cysouw 2003)”. These claims are wrong. By “pronominal systems”, REHAB means free or independent pronouns, rather than bound forms like agreement and clitics.1 However, some systems of independent pronouns do not distinguish speaker from nonspeaker, contra (i); others do not distinguish participants from nonparticipants, contra (ii); and yet others make no plural–nonplural distinction, contra (iii). In fact, Harley and Ritter 2002a, Cysouw 2003, and another work cited in REHAB, Noyer 1992, all contain counterexamples.
