Linguistics in Oceania
A Dictionary of Some Tuamotuan Dialects of the Polynesian Language
A Guguyalanji (Cape York Peninsula) example, with English word bases and Guguyalanji function morphs, will illustrate a type of syntax paradigm with contrastive case and verb transformations, such as we would very much like to see in books like Capell's. It is taken from p. 82 of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies' Papers on the languages of the Australian aborigines (Canberra, 1964)
Problems of morphology and classification illustrated from Rarotongan
The structure of Rarotongan nominal, negative, and conjunctival pieces
The term 'nominal piece' is applied here to any utterance stretch denned initially by the presence of any or all of Nominal Classes 1,2, and 3 set up below, and finally either by sentence-closing intonation or a marker indicating the onset of another piece. The terms 'negative piece' and 'conjunctival piece' are applied to utterance stretches which lie outside the confines of both the nominal piece (as defined above) and the verbal piece (as defi…
The structure of the Rarotongan verbal piece
The term 'verbal piece' is applied here to any utterance stretch defined initially by one of the particles listed in paragraph 6 and finally either by sentence-closing intonation or by a marker indicating the onset of another piece. Investigation of the order in which forms appear within these limits leads to the recognition of a number of sequential positions within the verbal piece. Forms are classified according to their distribution over thes…
Two Samoan ceremonial speeches
THE two ceremonial speeches which are given below were recorded for me in 1956 by an old Samoan talking-chief (tūlāfale) in the village of Amanave on the island of Tutuila. The text is an edited transcription made from those tapes.Both speeches form part of a house-building ceremony known in Tutuila as le usuga i le fale (the visitation of the house), which commemorates the building by a matai (head of a family group) of a round-house (fale tele)…
Rarotongan Personal Pronouns
I. Rarotongan is a Polynesian language spoken on the island of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. A phonemic analysis yields a nine-term consonant system comprising four voiceless plosives (bilabial, dental, velar, glottal), three nasals (bilabial, alveolar, velar), a bilabial voiced fricative, and an alveolar flapped 'r'. There is the usual Polynesian five-term vowel system (close front, close back, mid front, mid back, open central). All vowels may…
