Please consult the Preface to the first volume for a history of the ICAAL movement and details about the ICAAL4 meeting. An important feature of this volume is the collection of five papers under the theme of the Special Session on Iambic Effects in Austroasiatic Languages . These papers came out the session originally coordinated by Kenneth (‘Ken’) Gregerson at the ICAAL4 meeting. The general problem of understanding the role of iambic rhythm in the phonology (and ultimately also the syntax) of Austroasiatic is emerging as a crucial one for progress in historical reconstruction, and understanding both internally and externally motivated restructuring that is such a prominent feature of many Austroasiatic tongues. In particular, a better understand of these phenomena will be crucial in unlocking the reasons behind the extreme typological differences between Munda and Mon-Khmer languages. Editorial responsibility for the papers in this session was principally taken by Ken, until he suffered some health problems in 2011, and Paul took over finalising the volume. Friends and colleagues will be glad to know that at the time of writing this Ken is making great strides towards recovery. The rest of this volume contains papers from a variety of sessions and themes, indicative of the wide scope of topics discussed at the meeting. We are also pleased that both volumes have also been completed and made available in time for the ICAAL5 meeting, scheduled for November 9-11 2011, and we pledge to do our best to continue the timely publication of ICAAL papers as an important aspect of the new vigour that the field of Austroasiatic Studies is now enjoying. Dr. Paul Sidwell Assoc. Prof. Sophana Srichampa Dr. Kenneth Gregerson October 2011 v Vietnamese Demonstratives đây , đó, kia 1 Mayumi Adachi The University of Tokyo, Japan 1. Introduction It is customarily understood that Vietnamese 2 has three series of basic demonstratives, that is, proximal đây , medial đó3 and distal kia . Table 1 shows their forms. Vietnamese demonstratives occur near the end of NP with noun, just before possessive expressions 4. Table 1: Forms of Vietnamese demonstratives Proximal đây Medial đó Distal kia as full NP, this, that, yonder, local đây đó kia here there over there adverbial that N N + này this N N + đó that N N + kia over there cái này cái đó cái kia that one this one that one in NP CL this CL that CL yonder over there with noun chỗ này chỗ đó that chỗ kia that place this place place this place that place place yonder over there người này this người đó that người kia that person person this person person that person person yonder over there According to Kinsui et al. (2002), functions of demonstratives can be classified as follows. Deictic use : “to directly refer to a recognizable referent in the objective world, typically, refer to visible one (p.218).” Anaphoric use : “to refer to a co-referential referent with an antecedent introduced into the context with a text (p.220).” Memorative use : “to refer to a referent in the speaker’s knowledge based on his or her direct experience in the past (p.221).” The present paper will examine the criteria of the classification of Vietnamese demonstratives based on this categorization. 1 I am indebted to Tooru Hayasi for comments on earlier drafts of this paper, and to my consultant Nguyễn Dương Liễu for her time and patience. 2 In this paper, Vietnamese examples are orthographized. 3 In many cases, đó as full NP and local adverbial can be replaced with đấy. Similarly, đó in NP with noun can be replaced by ấy. In this paper, đó is used as a representative form. 4 See Nguyễn Đình-Hòa (1997: 171-184) for illustration of Vietnamese noun phrase construction.
