    Cross-Lingual Machine Speech Chain for Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese, and Bataks Speech Recognition and Synthesis Sashi Novitasari1, Andros Tjandra1, Sakriani Sakti1;2, Satoshi Nakamura1;2 1Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan 2RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project AIP, Japan fsashi.novitasari.si3, tjandra.ai6, ssakti,[email protected] Abstract Even though over seven hundred ethnic languages are spoken in Indonesia, the available technology remains limited that could support communication within indigenous communities as well as with people outside the villages. As a result, indigenous communities still face isolation due to cultural barriers; languages continue to disappear. To accelerate communication, speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) technology is one approach that can overcome language barriers. However, S2ST systems require machine translation (MT), speech recognition (ASR), and synthesis (TTS) that rely heavily on supervised training and a broad set of language resources that can be difficult to collect from ethnic communities. Recently, a machine speech chain mechanism was proposed to enable ASR and TTS to assist each other in semi-supervised learning. The framework was initially implemented only for monolingual languages. In this study, we focus on developing speech recognition and synthesis for these Indonesian ethnic languages: Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese, and Bataks. We first separately train ASR and TTS of standard Indonesian in supervised training. We then develop ASR and TTS of ethnic languages by utilizing Indonesian ASR and TTS in a cross-lingual machine speech chain framework with only text or only speech data removing the need for paired speech-text data of those ethnic languages. Keywords: Indonesian ethnic languages, cross-lingual approach, machine speech chain, speech recognition and synthesis.

  • HOW UNIVERSAL IS AGENT-FIRST? EVIDENCE from SYMMETRICAL VOICE LANGUAGES Sonja Riesberg Kurt Malcher Nikolaus P
    HOW UNIVERSAL IS AGENT-FIRST? EVIDENCE FROM SYMMETRICAL VOICE LANGUAGES Sonja Riesberg Kurt Malcher Nikolaus P. Himmelmann Universität zu Köln and Universität zu Köln Universität zu Köln The Australian National University Agents have been claimed to be universally more prominent than verbal arguments with other thematic roles. Perhaps the strongest claim in this regard is that agents have a privileged role in language processing, specifically that there is a universal bias for the first unmarked argument in an utterance to be interpreted as an agent. Symmetrical voice languages such as many western Austronesian languages challenge claims about agent prominence in various ways. Inter alia, most of these languages allow for both ‘agent-first’ and ‘undergoer-first’ orders in basic transitive con - structions. We argue, however, that they still provide evidence for a universal ‘agent-first’ princi - ple. Inasmuch as these languages allow for word-order variation beyond the basic set of default patterns, such variation will always result in an agent-first order. Variation options in which un - dergoers are in first position are not attested. The fact that not all transitive constructions are agent-first is due to the fact that there are competing ordering biases, such as the principles dictat - ing that word order follows constituency or the person hierarchy, as also illustrated with Aus - tronesian data.* Keywords : agent prominence, person prominence, word order, symmetrical voice, western Aus - tronesian 1. Introduction. Natural languages show a strong tendency to place agent argu - ments before other verbal arguments, as seen, inter alia, in the strong predominance of word-order types in which S is placed before O (SOV, SVO, and VSO account for more than 80% of the basic word orders attested in the languages of the world; see Dryer 2013).

  • Sarasvatī. Riverine Goddess of Knowledge. from the Manuscript
    Marburg Journal of Religion: Volume 14, No. 1 (May 2009) Author: Catherine Ludvik Year: 2007 Title: Sarasvatī. Riverine Goddess of Knowledge. From the Manuscript-carrying Vīṇā-player to the Weapon-wielding Defender of Dharma Series: Brill's Indological Library Publisher: Brill City: Leiden and Boston Number of Pages: xviii + 374 pp, 25 photographic illustrations Price: 170 US$ ISBN: 978 90 04 158146 Review: Sarasvatī is the name of an Indian deity who was taken up into Buddhist tradition and carried along into East Asia as far as Japan, where she is generally known as Benzaiten. In a way, therefore, this impressive book serves two sets of readers, first and foremost Indologists – hence its place in an indological series – but also those who are interested in the wider history of Buddhism or more generally of Asian religions. The later part of the work offers a study of relevant parts of the Buddhist Sutra of Golden Light, of which the Chinese versions represent a major source, even for the Indian developments. While ancient Indian studies are notorious for their uncertainties there is an extreme example here when we read concerning the Ṛg Veda that "Although composed sometime after 1750 B.C.E. … it dates from about the twelfth century B.C.E.." (p.9). Once that typically indological statement has been digested however, the analysis of relevant parts of the Vedas is extremely instructive. Ludvik takes issue with earlier studies (notably by Gonda) and works out a convincing sequence for the initial development of Sarasvatī from the imagery of a flowing river to an identification with "speech" (Vāc), the latter being crucial for the correct performance of ritual.

  • '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).

    The 2015 WEI International Academic Conference Proceedings Athens, Greece LINKING RELIGIONS WITH TRADE NETWORKS AND THEIR MARKETING INFRASTRUCTURE IN ASIA1 Ruchi Agarwal Mahidol University International College Nakorn Pathom, Thailand Abstract Number of researches outlines the relations between religions and trade but few focused on the two-way relationship shared between religions and trade networks and the role of marketing infrastructure in facilitating this relationship. This article aims to fill this gap by examining the role of trade networks in the dissemination of Buddhism and Hinduism in China and Southeast Asia and how these religions facilitated trade networks in expanding their businesses. Historical data reveals a strong link between the two and marketing made an important contribution in developing these links further. Contemporary data on the basis of supply-side theory shows new marketing strategies introduced in religious marketplace leading to commodification of religions with an emphasis religiosity in Thailand as a case study. Keywords: Buddhism, China, Hinduism, India, Markets, Religious dissemination, Southeast Asia, Trade I. INTRODUCTION This paper aims to study the role of trade networks in the dissemination of religions and vise versa by focusing on two religions, Buddhism and Hinduism both originating in India. In this paper, I argue that religious dissemination and trade networks share strong links and marketing infrastructure plays an important role in facilitating this link. To support my argument two examples of a historical linkage between religions and trade will be provided before focusing on more of the contemporary developments. One focuses on how the dissemination of Buddhism in China linked two very diverse regions together and the second focuses on Hinduism travelling to Southeast Asia, largely a function of South Asian migration.

  • The Hindu Temple in China
    2019 International Conference on Humanities, Cultures, Arts and Design (ICHCAD 2019) The Hindu Temple in China Xubiao Yang College of Marxism Studies, Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Guiyang, Guizhou, China Keywords: Hindu temple, China, Silk road, Border and coastal areas Abstract: With the spread of Hinduism, the Hindu temple was introduced into China. The Hindu temple was introduced into China mainly through the Overland Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road, the Hindu temples in border and coastal areas of Chinese territory were mainly patronized by wealthy individuals and commercial guilds. The Hindu temple was localized and assiminated in the coures of spread and gradually became an integral part of Chinese architecture culture. 1. Introduction The Hindu temple is the abobe of gods on earth, it links the world of man and the world of the gods. The Hindu temple is essential to understand the Indian culure, art, economy, politics, etc. A Hindu temple incorporates all elements of Hinduism- symbolism, cosmology, the goals of life, the caste system and henceon. In the course of history, with the spread of Hinduism to alien lands, the Hindu templ architecture was alhencespread to many regions and countries outside the South Asia Subcontinent.And China was one of these regions and countries, the Hindu temples in Chinese territory built by Indian immigrants and merchants witness the cultural exchange between Indian and China. 2. The Spread of Hinduism to China Hinduism was introduced into China around the first century AD when the Indian immigrates and merchants migrated to some border areas and coastal cities of the Chinese territory.

  • India-Japan Cultural Syncretism Reflected in Japanese Pantheon of Deities Siddharth Singh Director, Vivekananda Cultural Centre
    India-Japan Cultural syncretism reflected in Japanese Pantheon of deities Siddharth Singh Director, Vivekananda Cultural Centre, Embassy of India, Tokyo “India is culturally, Mother of Japan. For centuries it has, in her own characteristic way, been exercising her influence on the thought and culture of Japan. …..without Indian influence, Japanese culture would not be what it is today. As most Japanese profess the Buddhist faith, needless to say, they have generally been influenced by Indian ideas to a great extent.” [1] Hajime Nakamura “It is very important for the Japanese to know that in the bottom of Japanese culture, Indian culture is very firmly imprinted.”[2] Yasukuni Enoki, Former Ambassador of Japan to India It is pertinent to know how closely Indian culture is embedded in the Japanese past and present and a bright example of such deeper linkages is Japanese temples containing the statues of various deities. Numerous major and minor deities, ubiquitously present in Japanese temples, have their origin in the ancient Indian pantheon of gods and goddesses, but since these deities were introduced to Japan via China with Chinese names, Japanese people, in most of the cases, are unaware of their origins. There are well-theorized claims that establish the introduction of Indian culture to Japan even before the formal introduction of Buddhism from Korea in 552 CE. According to the Book of Liang, which was written in 635, five Buddhist monks from the Gandhara region of India traveled to Japan during the Kofun period (250-538 CE) in 467 CE. [3] After the arrival of Buddhism, Aryadhamma, a Buddhist monk from Rajgriha (Bihar, India) seems to have entered Japan via China in 645 CE,[4] much before Bodhisena’s arrival at Naniwa (Osaka).
