    It is perhaps not well known and certainly not a salient fact to outsiders that the Chinese of Central Java have their own speech which is peculiar to themselves and not used by other populations resident there. The are the people of Chinese descent who have been long-settled in Java and are not native speakers of a Chinese language. The designation Peranakan is opposed to the term which refers to the Javanese people who do not claim foreign desc…

  • The Pan Phonemes *n and *N

    John U WolffARTICLEOceanic Linguistics1993

    As many as six apical or laminal liquids and nasals have been posited for proto-Austronesian. A review of the evidence weakens the case for several of the more marginal candidates and leads to the conclusion that only three can be justified: *l, *n and *n. Only these three are found to be clearly in contrastive distribution. The resultant phonological system is more plausible than some that were proposed earlier. This allows us to bring doublets …

    John U WolffARTICLEHistoriographia Linguistica1987Cited by: 2References: 2

    Bloomfield's contribution to Austronesian linguistics was quantitatively small, but qualitatively of high importance. He published only one book and one article on Philippine languages. His gigantic Tagálog Texts with Grammatical Analysis (1917) is still, after seventy years, the best single source of information in existence for an Austronesian language. It exemplified a successful application of descriptive analytical method to material dictate…
