  • A Grammar of Paku: a Language of Central Kalimantan
    A grammar of Paku: a language of Central Kalimantan Author: ORCID: Daniela Diedrich 0000-0001-6459-3341 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2018 Department of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics School of Languages and Linguistics The University of Melbourne Victoria, Australia i Abstract This thesis describes the phonology, morphology and syntax of Paku, a highly endangered East Barito language spoken in four villages in the southeast of Central Kalimantan province, Indone- sia. It has currently about fifty speakers (conservative estimate, including semi-speakers) and since children, for a variety of reasons, no longer learn the language, it is classified as moribund. This thesis is part of a ARC-funded project The South East Barito languages in Indonesia and Mada- gascar: Safeguarding their past and future concerned with the documentation of Southeast Barito languages which Paku was thought to be a member of until the recent reclassification of lan- guages in Borneo by Smith (2017). It is a contribution to the description of the rapidly declining linguistic diversity in Borneo and other parts of the world. In doing so, this thesis will also con- tribute data of Bornean languages to broader typological research. Like many other endangered languages Paku is virtually undescribed and one of the main aims of this part of the project is the thorough documentation of Paku and the compilation of an extensive corpus of data consisting of both narratives and elicited material. This will help create a record of the language before it disappears, a fate which at this stage seems inevitable.

  • The Case of Dusun in Brunei Darussalam
    IJASOS- International E-Journal of Advances in Social Sciences, Vol. I, Issue 1, 2015 THE VITALITY AND REVITALISATION OF MINORITY LANGUAGES: THE CASE OF DUSUN IN BRUNEI DARUSSALAM Hjh. Dyg. Fatimah binti Hj Awg. Chuchu1*, Najib Noorashid2 1Dr., Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Brunei Darussalam, [email protected] 2 Mr., Radio Televisyen Brunei, Brunei Darussalam, [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract Language extinction or language death is a sociolinguistic phenomenon that is often discussed among linguists or speakers in general (Crystal, 2000; Aitchison, 2001; Dalby, 2003; Fishman, 2002; 2007; Mufwene, 2004; Nelson, 2007). Due to rapid globalisation, the effect of ‘superstratum and substratum’ languages is inevitable (Crystal, 2003), particularly with regard to the languages of ethnic minorities; those in Brunei Darussalam are no exception (Martin, 1995; Noor Azam, 2005; David, Cavallaro & Coluzzi, 2009; Clynes, 2012; Coluzzi, 2012). These minority languages are susceptible to becoming endangered due to urbanisation, the educational system, migration and other factors; all of these factors lead to language shift and, consequently, to extinction. Brunei Darussalam is a multilingual country that has a diverse population and cultures which generate variations of language and dialect (Nothofer, 1991; Fatimah Chuchu & Poedjosoedarmo, 1995; Azmi Abdullah, 2001; Jaludin Chuchu, 2005; David, Cavallaro & Coluzzi, 2009). Recognised as one of the seven indigenous ethnic groups in Brunei under the Citizenship Status Laws 1961 of the Constitution of Negari Brunei 1959, the Dusun ethnic group are alleged to have and practise their own code of dialect. In Brunei Darussalam, all dialects and languages spoken by indigenous ethnic groups are regarded as minority languages, except for Brunei Malay.

  • This Research Is an Attempt at Analyzing the Rise and Fall Of
    Kajian Malaysia, Vol. 29, Supp. 1, 2011, 177–197 ETHNICITY, CULTURE AND INDIGENOUS LEADERSHIP IN MODERN POLITICS: THE CASE OF THE KADAZANDUSUN IN SABAH, EAST MALAYSIA Arnold Puyok* and Tony Paridi Bagang Faculty of Administrative Science and Policy Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Sabah *Corresponding author: [email protected] This paper is based on an on-going study that examines the role of ethnic identity, cultural unity and indigenous leadership institutions in shaping political change among the Kadazandusuns. The analysis of the three issues is complemented by a survey conducted in 2009 among 200 Kadazandusuns from Kota Kinabalu, Ranau and Tambunan. The preliminary findings suggest that ethnic identity remains a crucial component in the political survival of the Kadazandusuns. The Kadazandusun political elites not only use the identity issue as a 'bargaining tool' but also use this issue to raise ethnic sentiment to win popular support. A majority of the Kadazandusuns surveyed in the study believed that the identity issue has been used for political mileage and that it is time for the Kadazandusun leaders to solve the issue once and for all. All of the Kadazandusun-based cultural associations remain an important 'grassroots base' for the Kadazandusun political elites. The respondents believed that the Kadazandusun political leaders are not united and should be blamed for causing the Kadazandusuns to split. Joseph Pairin Kitingan is seen as the prominent figure that is capable of uniting the Kadazandusuns. Although his status as Huguan Siou is relevant to some Kadazandusuns, other respondents wanted Pairin not to use his Huguan Siou title for political expediency.

This year’s Forum featured close to 30 papers and panel presentations by researchers and practitioners from more than 10 countries. All papers and abstracts were selected based on a double-blind review by a panel of experts, which primarily consisted of 6 academic staff internationally. Organizing an international Forum with published proceedings takes collective team efforts by many people.

  • Construction and Deconstruction of Indonesian Migrant Identities in Contemporary East Malaysia: Some Preliminary Notes1
    Construction and Deconstruction of Indonesian Migrant Identities in Contemporary East Malaysia: Some Preliminary Notes1 [Not to be cited] Centre for International Relation Studies2 Abstract This paper attempts to view the problem of Indonesian migrant workers by stressing on the identity formation of Indonesian migrant labours themselves delimited to those who live in East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak). It emphasizes on how recent political factors in Malaysia, especially racial politics related to the nation’s identity building and its resulting contexts in East Malaysia (Sabah-Sarawak) has different implications on the narrative of Indonesian migrants and the construction as well as deconstruction of their identities as migrants. ♣ ♣ ♣ Background and Focus of research: The issue of migrant workers has long been a key aspect for Indonesia-Malaysia diplomatic relations and in the last three years, this problem had caused a tension between both states. The intensity of the issue itself had drastically increased during the financial crisis of 1997. In the mid December 1997, over 6,000 illegal migrant workers were detained by the Malaysian immigration authority. Throughout 1997, the Malaysian government had deported over 38,500 Indonesian illegal migrant workers, followed by another trend in 1998, whereas the number obtained another tremendous increase. From January to April, the figure was around 30,000, and followed by a greater number in August, reaching approximately 200,000 workers. In the year 2001 Malaysian authorities continued to deport over 1,600 illegal workers, followed with the handling issue of Nunukan a year later, in which over 450.000 Indonesian illegal migrant workers in their massive deportation process, were put in Nunukan, 1Fieldwork was conducted on March 2004 in two locations of Sabah and Sarawak, East Malaysia.
