  • Human Noun Pluralization in Northern Luzon Languages
    Streams Converging Into an Ocean, 49-69 2006-8-005-003-000081-1 Human Noun Pluralization in Northern Luzon Languages Lawrence A. Reid University of Hawai‘i This paper describes some of the derivational processes by which human nouns are pluralized in some of the Northern Luzon, or Cordilleran, languages of the Philippines. Although primarily descriptive, it offers intriguing insights into the ways reduplicative processes have changed as a result of the application of regular sound changes in some of the daughter languages of the family. Key words: reduplication, geminates, plural human nouns, Philippine languages, Northern Luzon, Cordilleran 1. Plural human nouns in Proto-Northern Luzon It is a great pleasure for me to be able to offer this paper in honor of Professor Paul Jen-kuei Li, one of the most productive linguists working on the Austronesian languages of Taiwan. I have known Paul since his student days at the University of Hawai‘i many decades ago, and have treasured his friendship and respected the quality of his scholarship ever since. In all Northern Luzon languages, most common nouns can be interpreted as either singular or plural, with plurality being marked either by an accompanying pluralizing nominal form, typically a plural demonstrative or a third person plural pronoun. Most if not all languages, however, have a small class of nouns which have plural forms. This class usually includes common kinship terms such as ‘father’, ‘mother’, ‘child’, ‘sibling’, and ‘grandparent’ or ‘grandchild’. Proto-Northern Luzon probably also had plural forms for these nouns. In many of the daughter languages other human nouns, such as ‘man’, ‘woman’, ‘young man’, ‘young woman’, ‘spouse’, etc., are also pluralizable, either because already by Proto-Northern Luzon the process had been generalized to include such forms, or the generalization has taken place since then.

Introduction The Entertainment Software Association (“ESA”) thanks the Commission for this opportunity to provide further information about the video game industry’s products and the strong progress that our industry has made on energy efficiency.1 In the commentary below, we address the specific questions posed by the Commission in the recent webinar. Before turning to those questions, however, we first provide the Commission some context about the game industry’s strong track record on energy efficiency that informs our responses. Game consoles are constantly evolving. Unlike many other consumer electronics, which have a fairly stable feature set or well-understood range of functions, game consoles continue to add new features, functions, and enhanced entertainment experiences. Even its core function, game play, is always evolving in areas such as graphics, network capabilities, multi-player game play, and user interfaces.

  • The Alta Languages of the Philippines*
    1 The Alta Languages of the Philippines* 1. Introduction1 This paper reports the results of fieldwork undertaken during the summer, 1987, on various little-known languages of the Philippines spoken by Negritos. The two languages discussed here are both known as Alta. For the purpose of distinguishing them, I shall henceforth refer to them as Southern Alta (ALTS) 2 and Northern Alta (ALTN). The paper will discuss the degree of lexical relationship that Northern Alta and Southern Alta hold with each other, and with surrounding languages. It will also examine the reflexes of various reconstructed forms in these languag- es, and the phonological, lexical and morphological innovations that may be used to determine their immediate genetic relationships. It will be concluded that although these groups bear the same name, Alta, and live in geographical- ly contiguous areas, they are clearly distinct languages and have quite different linguistic histories. Together they will be shown to be probably remotely re- * Originally published as: The Alta languages of the Philippines.
