Complementation in Oceanic
The number of complementizers in any Oceanic language ranges from zero to (at least) five or six. In languages with more than one, the choice of a complementizer is often determined by the higher predicate. However, complementizers may also be independently meaningful, for example, expressing speaker stance. Examples of complementizers expressing speaker stance are given from several languages. Complementizers also participate in polyfunctionalit…
On the interpretation of alienable vs. inalienable possession
Oceanic languages typically make a grammatical contrast between expressions of alienable and inalienable possession. Moreover, further distinctions are made in the alienable category but not in the inalienable category. The present research tests the hypothesis that there is a good motivation for such a development in the former case. As English does not have a grammaticalized distinction between alienable and inalienable possession, it provides …
Instrument inversion in Toqabaqita
Toqabaqita (an Oceanic language) has two types of valency-rearrangement whereby the grammatical relations of two object noun phrases are interchanged. One type is lexically severely restricted: it applies only to a small number of verbs, but there are no syntactic conditions on it. The other applies to any transitive verb that has an instrument noun phrase in addition to a direct object, but only under certain syntactic conditions. The focus of t…

The Possessive-Benefactive Connection
The Possessive-Benefactive Connection1 Frantisek Lichtenberk Abstract Many languages around the world exhibit possessive-benefactive polysemy, whereby one and the same grammatical element or construction serves to encode possessive and benefactive relations. Beneficiaries are often construed as new, intended, prospective possessors (e.g., Croft 1991, Pinker 1989). Possessive-benefactive polysemy is also found in various Oceanic languages. The cen…

Semantic Change and Heterosemy in Grammaticalization
In Oceanic languages, elements that function or used to function as directional verbs of motion-'go', 'come', and 'return'-undergo a variety of grammaticalization processes. This study is an investigation of the semantic aspects of those developments, the factors that motivate the functional extensions, and the relations among the meanings/functions of the etyma. It is human conceptualization of phenomena (viz. metaphor and metonymy) that directl…
The Cristobal-Malaitan Subgroup of Southeast Solomonic
1.1 THE AIM AND THE SCOPE OF THE STUDY. That the languages of the islands of Malaita, San Cristobal, and their small offshore neighbors, together with two languages spoken on Guadalcanal exhibit features indicative of a close genetic relationship is well known. This was pointed out, although without explicit evidence, already by Codrington (1885:498). Subsequently, virtually all linguists dealing with the Austronesian languages of the Southeast S…

Multiple uses of reciprocal constructions

Tense-aspect
Semantic Extension in the Colour Lexicon
A cross-linguistic study of the figurative use of colour terms reveals the existence of both language-idiosyncratic developments and general tendencies. It is argued that both types of development are ultimately grounded in the experience of the world by the speakers of the languages. Furthermore, the findings contradict the claim that there exists a universal order in the development of the figurative use of colour terms
