This report summarizes the investments of the Fund for 2015-2016 and indicates the effectiveness of this support. Procedures for awarding grants from the Fund were the same as in previous years. The Governor’s approved guidelines for the administration and investments of the Fund: 1. The funds were administered by the Vice President for Research & Innovation (VPRI), the UH Mānoa Vice Chancellor for Research (VCR), and the University Research Council within the general guidelines approved by the University President. 2. The funds were administered in the four categories described under Part I – Fund Investments. I. FUND INVESTMENTS Pursuant to HRS Section 304A-2253, $49,924,695 was deposited into the Research and Training Revolving Fund and invested as follows: A. Scholarly Development Fund The Scholarly Development Fund serves two purposes. The first is to provide seed money support to develop research projects or training programs for extramural funding. The second is to provide travel funds for University professionals that enable them to communicate research and new ideas at international, national or regional meetings, and to permit contact with extramural funding agencies. Investments A total of $350,000 was invested in Professional Travel by the UH Mānoa VCR distributed as follows: The Council reviewed 249 travel requests totaling $567,545. It made 249 awards totaling $311,375. Table 1 lists the Professional Travel recipients. A total of $75,000 was invested in Professional Travel for UH West O‘ahu and was distributed as follows: Page 2 of 39 The Council reviewed 63 travel requests totaling $106,439. It made 46 awards totaling $75,399. Table 2 lists the Professional Travel recipients. Investments for 2015-2016: $425,000 B. Facilitating Services Fund The Facilitating Services Fund is used to support the research, instruction and public service missions of the University units that generated overhead revenue. The fund is invested in proportion to the overhead revenue generated by each of the units. Effective FY 1999, the Deans and Directors of the units were granted the authority to expend these funds at their own discretion. Investments A total of $25,353,532 was invested in the fund. Table 3 lists the distribution by unit. Investments for 2015-2016: $25,353,532 C. Project Development Fund The Project Development Fund is used to facilitate research and training in new or developing fields, provide matching funds for the acquisition of research equipment, and to promote participation in professional organizations. Investments The UH Mānoa VCR made 47 awards totaling $5,387,908. Table 4 lists the Project Development Fund recipients. $1,500 was invested in the Student Excellence in Research Awards by the UH Mānoa VCR. Table 5 lists the Student Excellence in Research Awards recipients. Investments for 2015-2016: $5,389,408 D.

RESULTS OF SEED MONEY AND PROFESSIONAL TRAVEL AWARDS A. Extramural Awards to Recipients of Seed Money Recipients of these funds are actively seeking new sources to support their research. The Scholarly Development Fund (“Fund”) is very important in this connection, especially for younger faculty not yet having established a track record. Once they have initiated research with seed money, they can cite initial results, and thus make a much stronger case for receiving additional support. Results from seed money are not always immediate, but may occur sometime after a seed money award. The results reported herein thus may be due to funds invested in earlier years. The Fund was initiated in 1975. The Research Council awards for seed money from the Fund give due consideration to the potential for generating extramural support. Faculty receiving seed money awards must indicate their plans for extramural funding to further research. During the last fiscal year, no awards were given for seed money. B. Extramural Awards to Faculty Receiving Travel Support The recipients of these travel awards are all productive scholars with active research agendas. The presentation of their research results at major professional meetings allows the investigators to meet with potential sponsors and exchange ideas with colleagues. It also exposes the broader professional community, including funding agencies, to the work being accomplished at the University of Hawai‘i, results in increased professional recognition of investigator and the University, and leads to additional funding.

INTRODUCTION 5460 words In the past ten years or so, important advances in our understanding of the formation of East Asian populations, historical cultures and language phyla have been made separately by geneticists, physical anthropologists, archaeologists and linguists. In particular, the genetics of East Asian populations have become the focus of intense scrutiny. The mapping of genetic markers, both classical and molecular, is progressing daily: geneticists are now proposing scenarios for the initial settlement of East Asia by modern humans, as well as for population movements in more recent times. Chinese archaeologists have shown conclusively that the origins of rice agriculture are to be sought in the mid-Yangzi region around 10,000 BP and that a millet-based agriculture developed in the Huang He Valley somewhat later.

  • Register in Eastern Cham: Phonological, Phonetic and Sociolinguistic Approaches
    REGISTER IN EASTERN CHAM: PHONOLOGICAL, PHONETIC AND SOCIOLINGUISTIC APPROACHES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Marc Brunelle August 2005 © 2005 Marc Brunelle REGISTER IN EASTERN CHAM: PHONOLOGICAL, PHONETIC AND SOCIOLINGUISTIC APPROACHES Marc Brunelle, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2005 The Chamic language family is often cited as a test case for contact linguistics. Although Chamic languages are Austronesian, they are claimed to have converged with Mon-Khmer languages and adopted features from their closest neighbors. A good example of such a convergence is the realization of phonological register in Cham dialects. In many Southeast Asian languages, the loss of the voicing contrast in onsets has led to the development of two registers, bundles of features that initially included pitch, voice quality, vowel quality and durational differences and that are typically realized on rimes. While Cambodian Cham realizes register mainly through vowel quality, just like Khmer, the registers of the Cham dialect spoken in south- central Vietnam (Eastern Cham) are claimed to have evolved into tone, a property that plays a central role in Vietnamese phonology. This dissertation evaluates the hypothesis that contact with Vietnamese is responsible for the recent evolution of Eastern Cham register by exploring the nature of the sound system of Eastern Cham from phonetic, phonological and sociolinguistic perspectives. Proponents of the view that Eastern Cham has a complex tone system claim that tones arose from the phonemicization of register allophones conditioned by codas after the weakening or deletion of coda stops and laryngeals.

  • 'Undergoer Voice in Borneo: Penan, Punan, Kenyah and Kayan
    Undergoer Voice in Borneo Penan, Punan, Kenyah and Kayan languages Antonia SORIENTE University of Naples “L’Orientale” Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology-Jakarta This paper describes the morphosyntactic characteristics of a few languages in Borneo, which belong to the North Borneo phylum. It is a typological sketch of how these languages express undergoer voice. It is based on data from Penan Benalui, Punan Tubu’, Punan Malinau in East Kalimantan Province, and from two Kenyah languages as well as secondary source data from Kayanic languages in East Kalimantan and in Sawarak (Malaysia). Another aim of this paper is to explore how the morphosyntactic features of North Borneo languages might shed light on the linguistic subgrouping of Borneo’s heterogeneous hunter-gatherer groups, broadly referred to as ‘Penan’ in Sarawak and ‘Punan’ in Kalimantan. 1. The North Borneo languages The island of Borneo is home to a great variety of languages and language groups. One of the main groups is the North Borneo phylum that is part of a still larger Greater North Borneo (GNB) subgroup (Blust 2010) that includes all languages of Borneo except the Barito languages of southeast Kalimantan (and Malagasy) (see Table 1). According to Blust (2010), this subgroup includes, in addition to Bornean languages, various languages outside Borneo, namely, Malayo-Chamic, Moken, Rejang, and Sundanese. The languages of this study belong to different subgroups within the North Borneo phylum. They include the North Sarawakan subgroup with (1) languages that are spoken by hunter-gatherers (Penan Benalui (a Western Penan dialect), Punan Tubu’, and Punan Malinau), and (2) languages that are spoken by agriculturalists, that is Òma Lóngh and Lebu’ Kulit Kenyah (belonging respectively to the Upper Pujungan and Wahau Kenyah subgroups in Ethnologue 2009) as well as the Kayan languages Uma’ Pu (Baram Kayan), Busang, Hwang Tring and Long Gleaat (Kayan Bahau).
