  • Languages of Flores
    Are the Central Flores languages really typologically unusual? Alexander Elias January 13, 2020 1 Abstract The isolating languages of Central Flores (Austronesian) are typologically distinct from their nearby relatives. They have no bound morphology, as well elaborate numeral clas- sifier systems, and quinary-decimal numeral system. McWhorter (2019) proposes that their isolating typology is due to imperfect adult language acquisition of a language of Sulawesi, brought to Flores by settlers from Sulawesi in the relatively recent past. I pro- pose an alternative interpretation, which better accounts for the other typological features found in Central Flores: the Central Flores languages are isolating because they have a strong substrate influence from a now-extinct isolating language belonging to the Mekong- Mamberamo linguistic area (Gil 2015). This explanation better accounts for the typological profile of Central Flores and is a more plausible contact scenario. Keywords: Central Flores languages, Eastern Indonesia, isolating languages, Mekong- Mamberamo linguistic area, substrate influence 2 Introduction The Central Flores languages (Austronesian; Central Malayo-Polynesian) are a group of serialising SVO languages with obligatory numeral classifier systems spoken on the island of Flores, one of the Lesser Sunda Islands in the east of Indonesia. These languages, which are almost completely lacking in bound morphology, include Lio, Ende, Nage, Keo, Ngadha and Rongga. Taken in their local context, this typological profile is unusual: other Austronesian languages of eastern Indonesia generally have some bound morphology and non-obligatory numeral classifier systems. However, in a broader view, the Central Flores languages are typologically similar to many of the isolating languages of Mainland Southeast Asia and Western New Guinea, many of which are also isolating, serialising SVO languages with obligatory numeral classifier systems.

However, this oral tradition is generally only known by its speakers so is the meaning and values contained therein. In the academic domain, the study about values of local wisdom, especially oral traditions originating from Manggarai, is also rarely examined. This makes this oral tradition and the values in it gradually eroded and unnoticed. Research that is included in the type of qualitative research by utilizing metaphorical ecolinguistic theory aims to describe thelocal wisdomvalues, the urgency of preservation, and formulate an appropriate preservation strategy specifically through the realm of education. Collecting data in this study using the method of recording and recording techniques and communication ethnographic interviews. This study uses an extralingual equivalent method and contextual techniques for data analysis. The results showed that in the Torok speech there were values of solidarity, religious, love, politeness, and hard work.

The aim is to explain how verbs of the dialect are nominalized. By applying closed interview, observation and documentary techniques of qualitative approach, this paper present very valuable findings. Firstly, the Central Manggarai Dialect, has its own way to nominalize verbs but not by changing lexical verbs into lexical nouns. Secondly as shown by the data, the Central Manggarai Dialect performs seven types of verb nominalization like those presented by Comrie and Thompson in Shopen (2007) that is action nominalization, agentive nominalization, instrumental nominalization, manner nominalization, locative nominalization, objective nominalization, and reason nominalization. As seen in the content pages of this paper, Central Manggarai Dialect uses third singular possessive enclitics -n and third plural possessive –d to denote action nominalization, the free word ata is used to denote agentive nominalization, a bound marker or prefix -ter and free word palang denoting place nominalization, the free words le or ali, or wajole, or wajoali denoting reason nominalization. Interestingly to denote objective nominalization the verb it- self, with no certain marker or free word, is used.

D. Rafael Lecturer at STKIP Citra Bina Nusantara-Citra Bangsa University Abstract: MalayKupang Language (MKL) is spoken by around 500,000 people who inhabit in Kupang city and several districts on Timor Island, East Nusa Tenggara (ENT) Province, Indonesia.MKL is actually a part of Malay-creole language. In general, MKL shows a special similarity in terms of grammar that leads to the theory of universal grammar. Even MKL is one of the local language in Indonesia, but MKL is also difference with Indonesian in the syntactic level, especially in valency changing strategy.Valency itself means the ability of one verb to bind the core argument to the verb itself.In other word, the valency is the verb ability to require a particular argument, which approves certain semantic functions in a sentence. In MKL the valency changing strategy can be proccedthrough the composition of some verbs. In MKL the verbs formation composition is applied by combining three static verbs. Those verbs are the verbsame“take”,buang“throw”, and kasi “give”. In MKL some verbs will change the valency of that verbs by combining them with those three verbs. Those verbs are both the intransitive and transitive verbs. Keywords: Malay Kupang Language, Valency Changing Strategy, Oblique, Core Arguments, Adjunct, Verb Composition. 1. INTRODUCTION MalayKupang Language (MKL) is spoken by around 500,000 people who inhabit in Kupang city and several districts on Timor Island, East Nusa Tenggara (ENT) Province, Indonesia.

  • Voice Systems in the Austronesian Languages of Nusantara: Typology, Symmetricality and Undergoer Orientation
    Voice systems in the Austronesian languages of Nusantara: Typology, symmetricality and Undergoer orientation I Wayan Arka Linguistics, RSPAS, ANU A paper (invited) to be presented at the 10th National Symposium of the Indonesian Linguistics Society, Bali-Indonesia; July 2002 1 Introduction This paper deals with the typology of the Austronesian (henceforth AN) languages of Nusantara (encompassing Indonesia, East Timor, the non-Indonesian part of Borneo) by looking at their voice systems and voice markings. It will be demonstrated that they consist of a number of language-types, which can be accounted for in terms of different (default) orientations along a continuum of Actor (A) vs. Undergoer (U).1 By and large, the AN languages of Nusantara are syntactically symmetrical, but morpho-pragmatically more or less U-orientated in a number of aspects. The paper is organised as follows. A brief overview of grammatical relations and markings in AN languages of Nusantara is given in section 2, followed by the descriptions of language types and their typical properties in section 3. Section 4 provides discussions on voice system variations, whereby notions of Actor vs. Undergoer orientations are clarified and used to account for different kinds of ‘ergative’ properties that splash out throughout the AN languages of Nusantara in their morphology, syntax and discourse. Conclusion is given in section 5. 2 Grammatical relations and marking in brief The AN languages of Nusantara are essentially Verb-Object languages, with Subject possibly coming either before the verb (hence SVO, as in Indonesian, Javanese and Balinese) or after Object (hence VOS, as in Nias and Tukang Besi).

  • Challenges and Prospect of Maintaining Rongga: an Ethnographic Report
    Proceedings of the 2004 Conference of the Australian Linguistic Society 1 Challenges and Prospect of Maintaining Rongga: an Ethnographic Report I WAYAN ARKA Australian National University [email protected] 1. Introduction1 Changes in the ‘ecology of languages’2 after the independence of Indonesia have resulted in changes in the social, cultural and economic settings. These changes in turn have affected the well-being of indigenous languages and cultures right across the Indonesian archipelago. This has particularly been the case in the last thirty years under the harsh campaign of Indonesianisation through the rhetoric of pembangunan (development) in the New Order era of Soeharto’s regime. Smaller indigenous languages such as Rongga, a minority language on the island of Flores, are particularly vulnerable. Based on my first five-month fieldwork trip to Rongga territory, I will give my ethnographic account of certain external-community (or macro-level) factors (Grenoble and Whaley 1998). These factors follow along the various parameters such as demography, history, economics and (socio)politics that have resulted in the rapid marginalisation of the Rongga language and its culture. I will also discuss what has been done in the documentation project, in particular to help the local community and institutions to develop their awareness and skills for the maintenance of the language. The community response and the prospects of maintaining Rongga in the future will also be discussed. 1 This report is part of the Rongga documentation project funded by the Rausing Fund, SOAS, London, granted to the author. I thank the audience at the Australian Linguistic Society (ALS) conference, Sydney 13-15 July 2004 for their valuable comments on the earlier version of the paper.

  • Human Beings and Other People Classification of Human Groups and Categories Among the Nage of Flores (Eastern Indonesia)
    Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde Vol. 165, no. 4 (2009), pp. 493-514 URL: http://www.kitlv-journals.nl/index.php/btlv URN:NBN:NL:UI:10-1-100120 Copyright: content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License ISSN: 0006-2294 GREGORY FORTH Human beings and other people Classification of human groups and categories among the Nage of Flores (eastern Indonesia) Cognitive anthropologists and ethnobiologists have long considered how far taxonomic relations encountered in folk zoological and botanical classifica- tions might also occur in other domains, for example in the classification of artefacts, diseases, and spirits. The positive position was advocated some time ago in a paper by Brown et al. (1976). Counter-arguments are to be found in Van Esterik (1982), Stanlaw and Bencha (1985), Atran (1990, see especially pp. 47, 52, 54), and Forth (1998:323). Concerning the Nage, an agricultural people of central Flores in eastern Indonesia who speak a Central-Malayo-Polynesian language, the present article comprises a review of terms employed to parti- tion the human world. Unlike scientific biologists, but like most folk biologists, Nage do not classify human beings as a kind of ‘animal’ or include ‘human’ as a component of their folk zoological taxonomy. Nevertheless, questions remain as to the extent to which a variety of named categories, all referring to what may be called types of human beings or kinds of persons, compose a clas- sification that displays taxonomic relations. A more specific question is how far ‘human being’ in Nage can be treated as a taxon of the sort Berlin (1992) des- ignates as a ‘unique beginner’, and thus as comparable to ‘animal’ or ‘plant’ in Nage ethnobiological classification.

The description is viewed from cultural linguistics as one of the new theoretical perspectives in cognitive linguistics exploring the relationship of language, culture and conceptualisation. This is a descriptive study. The sources of primary data were members of the Manggarai ethnic group, represented by four key informants. The methods of data collection data were observation, interview, focuse group discussions and a documentary study. These methods were elaborated through the techniques of recording, elicitation and note taking. The procedures of data analysis were selection, transcription, selection, translation, analysis and presentation. The data was analyzed qualitatively by using the inductive method. The result of study shows that the forms and meanings of verbal expressions on the existence of God, as a supernatural power, in Manggarai language, are specific to the Manggarai culture, as they reflect the system of belief in local religion shared by the Manggarai people.

  • Rembong-Wangka
    Rembong-Wangka Its position among the Manggaraic languages, some formative elements and adnominal possession Leif Asplund Department of Linguistics Independent Project for the Degree of Master (2 years) 30 ECTS Typology and Linguistic Diversity Spring term 2020 Supervisor: Ljuba Veselinova Faculty reviewer: Bernhard Wälchli Examiner: Ljuba Veselinova Rembong-Wangka Its position among the Manggaraic languages, some formative elements and adnominal possession Leif Asplund Abstract Rembong-Wangka is an Austronesian language, which together with other little described languages, belongs to the Manggaraic subgroup of Austronesian. One aim is to present information about them, as well as other languages in the area, drawn from not readily accessible sources, including archival material, and information collected by the author in Flores. An estimation of the number of speakers of Rembong-Wangka, the dialects and a map of settlements where the language is spoken, are given. The second aim is to describe adnominal possessive constructions, and the third to discuss etymologies of morphological elements in these constructions. The material to answer these questions was collected during two short field trips. Written glossed texts in a Rembong-Wangka corpus constructed by the author were used and analysed in the FLEx program. In pronominal possession, the possessor can be expressed by pronominal enclitics or oblique pronouns. The latter of these two strategies is more emphatic. Non-pronominal possession can be expressed by juxtaposition or with a Possession Construction Marker (PCM). Juxtaposition is used mostly for non- prototypical possession or possession-like relationships and PCMs mainly for prototypical possession. The etymology of the oblique pronouns is discussed, as well as the possible etymological connections of Central Flores PCMs with different words in Rembong-Wangka.
