  • Such is art

    Malcolm Ro, Malcolm RossARTICLEJournal of Applied Arts and Health2017

    In this personal article I reflect on my practice as an arts teacher. In my teaching I focus on the making and appreciation of the arts, meeting, as I see it, the individual student’s hunger for personal meaning. The essence of entering into the formative conversations of art making and art loving is to place those conversations within Winnicott’s ‘potential space’ of play. Citing the testimony of poets and other writers I look at the complementa…

  • Diagnosing Contact Processes from their Outcomes

    Open AccessM Ro, Malcolm RossARTICLEJournal of Language Contact2013Citada por: 2Referencias: 24

    This paper addresses the questions, Do bilingually induced and shift-induced change have different outcomes? If they do, can these differences assist us in reconstructing the prehistoric past, specifically the linguistic prehistory of the (smallscale neolithic) societies of Melanesia. A key to better interpreting differences in the outputs of contact-induced change is to understand how such change in smallscale societies actually occurs. I argue …

  • Sequencing and dating linguistic events in Oceania

    M Ro, Malcolm RossCHAPTERArchaeology and Language II2010

    Using language to date the origin and spread of food production, Archaeology and Language II represents groundbreaking work in synthesizing two disciplines that are now seen as interlinked: linguistics and archaeology. This volume is the second part of a three-part survey of innovative results emerging from their combination. Archaeology and historical linguistics have largely pursued separate tracks until recently, although their goals can be ve…

  • A History of Metatypy in the Bel Languages

    Open AccessM Ro, Malcolm RossARTICLEJournal of Language Contact2008Citada por: 1Referencias: 1

    In earlier work Takia, an Oceanic Austronesian language, has been compared with its Papuan neighbour Waskia to show that much of the grammar of Takia can be explained as the outcome of metatypy on the model of Waskia or a language typologically like it. Takia belongs to the Western subgroup of the small Bel family, the members of which have all undergone metatypy to some degree. In this paper data from the Bel languages are used to reconstruct th…

  • Calquing and Metatypy

    Open AccessM Ro, Malcolm RossARTICLEJournal of Language Contact2007Citada por: 8Referencias: 6

    Metatypy, meaning 'change in type' is a diachronic process in which the syntactic system of one of a bilingual community's languages is restructured so that it more closely resembles the syntax of its speakers' other language. It is thus a language contact phenomenon. In this paper I deconstruct my earlier account of metatypy and show that metatypy is preceded chronologically by lexical and grammatical calquing but is separate from these processe…

  • The Prehistory of Oceanic Languages

    Andrew Pawley, M Ro et al.CHAPTERThe Austronesians: Historical and…2006

    The paper sketches the linguistic comparative method and reports on current results of its application to the Oceanic group of Austronesian languages. We give a brief account of the culture of Proto-Oceanic speakers as it is revealed by language, then outline our present view of Oceanic subgrouping, explaining what this implies about the location of Proto-Oceanic and the dispersion of Oceanic speakers into the Pacific. We examine patterns discern…

  • Motives for Language Change

    Open AccessPeter Matthews, Frederick J Newmeyer et al.BOOKMotives for Language Change2003

    This specially commissioned volume considers the processes involved in language change and the issues of how they can be modelled and studied. The way languages change offers an insight into the nature of language itself, its internal organisation, and how it is acquired and used. Accordingly, the phenomenon of language change has been approached from a variety of perspectives by linguists of many different orientations. This book, originally pub…

  • The History of Proto-Oceanic *ma

    Bethwyn Evans, M Ro et al.ARTICLEOceanic Linguistics2001

    The History of Proto-Oceanic *ma- Bethwyn Evans and Malcolm Ross1 Abstract We examine the history of the Proto-Oceanic (POC) stative verb derivative *ma-, whose distribution in POC reconstructions raises certain problems, as POC lexical reconstructions with *ma- can be placed in four groups: (a) valency-decreasing *ma-; (b) fossilized reflexes of *ma- on stative verbs; (c) stative (adjectival) verbs that can be reconstructed in POC both with and …

  • Possessive-like Attribute Constructions in the Oceanic Languages of Northwest Melanesia

    M Ro, Malcolm RossARTICLEOceanic Linguistics1998

    In many Oceanic languages in northwest Melanesia the default attribute construction ('a big house') is one whose morphosyntax looks like that of a possession construction: the attribute occupies the (possessed) head slot, the noun the (possessor) modifier slot ('a big one of a house'), that is, the opposite of the cross-linguistic norm and a rare phenomenon worldwide. I briefly describe these constructions, which are morphosyntactically varied, t…

  • On the Genetic Affiliations of the Oceanic Languages of Irian Jaya

    M Ro, Malcolm RossARTICLEOceanic Linguistics1996

    For 25 years it has been known that the Austronesian languages of the Sarmi and Jayapura groups in Irian Jaya belong to the Oceanic subgroup. It has also been suggested recently that they form a single low-order subgroup within Oceanic. It has not been clear, however, whether they form a first-order subgroup or belong to an already established grouping within Oceanic. Although the available data corpus for Sarmi and Jayapura languages is limited,…

  • The comparative method reviewed

    Malcolm Ross, Mark Durie et al.BOOKThe comparative method reviewed1995

    Historical reconstruction of languages relies on the comparative method, which itself depends on the notion of the regularity of change. The regularity of sound change is the famous Neogrammarian Hypothesis: "sound change takes place according to laws that admit no exception." The comparative method, however, is not restricted to the consideration of sound change, and neither is the assumption of regularity. Syntactic, morphological, and semantic…
