Reesink v Preface A few years ago the Bird's Head area was virtually a white spot on the linguistic map, even though the languages had been classified in families and stocks, most of which were claimed to make up the West-Papuan Phylum. But all of the classifying work was based on rather limited data, basically some wordlists. During the last decade much more detailed data on the languages of this area has become available, especially through the programme 'Irian Jaya Studies: a Programme for Interdisciplinary Research' (ISIR), financed by Netherlands Foundation for the Advancement of Tropical Research (WOTRO), a governmental institution within the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). Under the general sponsorship of the Indonesian Institute of Research, and more specifically as far as linguistic research was concerned, under the sponsorship of Dr Hasan Alwi, Director of the National Centre for Language Development in Jakarta, fieldwork on a number of languages could be carried out. In addition members of the Summer Institute of Linguistics have published their findings on a few languages. For references to publications pertaining to the Bird's Head, see the bibliographic references to the articles in this volume. One of the languages presented here has virtually disappeared. In some of the linguistic and anthropological literature one can find references to an ethnolinguistic group Borai, also known by the name Mansim, as being related to Hatam, or being a dialect of it. Since a grammar of Hatam has appeared in a separate publication, data of this language figure mainly and importantly in the short sketch of Mansim. The opening article of this volume attempts to sketch the relationships between the languages of the eastern Bird's Head with each other, as well as with languages surrounding the area. It is followed by brief descriptions of four languages, each illustrated with some text material. Each of the contributions is presented as an independent unit, with its own detailed table of contents. Ger P.

Reesink 1 Introduction I The Bird's Head Peninsula of Irian Jaya is rather naturally divided into a western and eastern part by the Kamundan and Weriagar rivers, which both spring from the Tamrau Mountains and run parallel to the south flowing into the McCluer Gulf. From two accounts of the oral tradition it seems that, at least to some people, there is an awareness of three major ethnolinguistic groupings in this eastern area. A Hatam speaker told me (at Minyambou in 1994) that Mimpui (= a nominal marker plus the verb pui 'tell') had assigned the Kepala Burung 'Bird's Head' to the three groups Tinam (= Hatam), Tuig (= Sougb) and Sreu (= Meyah). A few years later (at Sururei in 1998) a Sougb speaker stated that Igba was the ancestor of the Sougb, the 1jom (= Hatam) and the Sana (= Meyah). These three groups originated, according to his story, in the area somewhere between Bintuni and Merdey. Neither speaker considered the languages Mpur and Mansim.

Leiden: LOT (Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics), 2007, 438 pp. ISBN 9789078328247. Price: EUR 32.27 (paperback). ALEXANDER ADELAAR Asia Institute, University of Melbourne [email protected] The traditional languages in Indonesia’s West Kalimantan Province are pre- dominantly Malayic and Bidayuhic (although some other language groups are also represented). Mualang belongs to the Ibanic branch of the Malayic lan- guage group and is spoken in the Belitang Hulu, Belitang Hilir and Belitang districts of Sekadau Regency (formerly part of Sanggau Regency). Based on purely linguistic criteria, it is clearly in a dialect relation with Iban, one of the main languages in Sarawak and a minority language in West Kalimantan. It is probably even more like Iban than some other Ibanic languages, which have not developed the diphthongs that are so typical of Iban and Mualang (for example, datay ‘come’; jalay ‘road’; tikay ‘mat’). Notable differences between the two varieties are that Iban does not exhibit nasal preplosion and postplo- sion (see below), and that Iban has acquired a transitive suffix –ka, whereas in Mualang this element is still a preposition. According to Tjia, another dif- ference is that in Iban mid vowels are phonemic whereas in Mualang they are allophones of high vowels, but this is just a matter of analysis, as Scott (1957) was able to show that Iban high and mid vowels were still allophones, in spite of the rather non-phonemic Iban spelling conventions.

  • And Topic Markers Indicate Gender and Number by Means of the Pronominal Article They Follow (Ho-Kwe M.TOP, Ko-Kwe F.TOP and Mo-Kwe PL-TOP)
    The elusive topic: Towards a typology of topic markers (with special reference to cumulation with number in Bolinao and gender in Nalca) Bernhard Wälchli (Stockholm University) [email protected] Helsinki; January 22, 2020 1 The elusive topic: Towards a typology of topic markers (with special reference to cumulation with number in Bolinao and gender in Nalca) Bernhard Wälchli (Stockholm University) Abstract At least since the 1970s, topic has been widely recognized to reflect an important category in most different approaches to linguistics. However, researchers have never agreed about what exactly a topic is (researchers disagree, for instance, about whether topics express backgrounding or foregrounding) and to what extent topics are elements of syntax or discourse or both. Topics are notoriously difficult to distinguish from a range of related phenomena. Some definitions of topic are suspiciously similar to definitions of definiteness, subject, noun and contrast, so the question arises as to what extent topic is a phenomenon of its own. However, topics are also internally diverse. There is disagreement, for instance, as to whether contrastive and non-contrastive topics should be subsumed under the same notion. This talk tries to approach the category type topic bottom-up by considering cross-linguistic functional diversity in marked topics, semasiologically defined as instances of topics with explicit segmental topic markers. The first part of the talk considers the question as to whether topic markers can be defined as a gram type with one or several prototypical functions that can be studied on the basis of material from parallel texts and from descriptive sources.

  • Annotated Bibliography of Berau Gulf and Bintuni Bay Communities In
    AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR THE COMMUNITIES OF BERAU GULF AND BINTUNI BAY, PAPUA (IRIAN JAYA), INDONESIA Compiled by Jaap Timmer and Chris Ballard Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies The Australian National University, ACT 0200 Canberra, Australia [email protected] and [email protected] Last Updated at: 2 December 2003 1. Introduction This bibliography presents a review of references to published and unpublished materials on nine of the communities of Bintuni Bay. The focus of the bibliography is on those communities that are likely to be impacted most immediately by the operations of the Pertamina-British Petroleum Tangguh LNG Project. 1.1 Communities and Geographic Coverage The communities are: · Inanwatan · Sebyar/Kamberan · Moskona · Sougb · Wamesa · Uri · Irarutu · Simuri and · Mbahan Table 1 provides a list of the language communities in the Berau Gulf / Bintuni Bay region and shows the wide and often bewildering range of “ethnonyms” or alternative names that have been used to refer to the individual communities. Table 1 sets out some of the relationships between these different communities, showing (for example) that Kamberan and Sebyar are dialects of the broader Arandai language group. Most of these language communities are located in the map shown in Figure 1. The geographic focus of the survey has been on those communities closest to the Tangguh Project, in the Bintuni Bay area. This report is compiled on the basis of documentary sources only. The reliability of the identification of the the groups will need to be confirmed by field studies in the Berau Gulf / Bintuni Bay region.

Yubelince Y. Runtuboi 1,3, Dwiko B. Permadi 1, Muhammad Alif K. Sahide 2, Ahmad Maryudi 1 1 Sebijak Institute - The research Center for Forest Policy & History, Faculty of Forestry, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia 2 Universitas Hasanuddin, Makassar, Indonesia 3 Universitas Papua, Manokwari, Indonesia * Correspondence author: [email protected] ; Tel.: +6281386038118 Abstract: Oil palm plantations are currently expanding to the eastern part of Indonesia, especially into West Papua province. Many oil palm permits issued in West Papua occupy intact biodiversity-rich forest areas which have essential value for indigenous Papuans' socio-cultural life. This article discusses expansion of oil palm plantations in West Papua province, and its impacts on forests and indigenous people. It also assesses whether the plantations fit the Special Autonomy Law and Sustainable Development Regulation goals of the province. In general, plantations are being established in forest areas, and further planned expansion threatens intact and biodiversity-rich forests. In addition, plantation development rarely considers the socio- cultural issues of indigenous Papuans. As a result, customary rights and institutions are commonly overlooked, undermined, or violated. Oil palm plantations are not necessarily compatible with sustainable development goals, and need to reconcile its overall economic and conservation agenda. Keywords: Oil Palm Plantation; Special Autonomy Law; Sustainable development policy; West Papua; Indigenous People; Poverty alleviation; Conservation; Biodiversity loss 1.
