Focus prosody in Fijian: In-situ focus marking
In this paper we investigated the prosodic focus markers of Fijian, an understudied language in the focus prosody literature. Fijian is a verb-initial language in which narrow focus is typically marked by syntactic means (i.e., fronting), making prosodic cues to focus harder to identify. We tested 10 native speakers of Fijian, and elicited in-situ corrective focus by asking them to confirm the correct item sequences. The results showed that regar…
The relationship between Northern Khmer people and the forest: A study through ethnobotanical knowledge and vocabulary maintenance
Background: Northern Khmer speakers in five villages in Chuea Phloeng sub-district, Prasat district, Surin province, Thailand, are notable for being a Northern Khmer descendant community who have a long-standing and close relationship with the surrounding Takaw forest. This study examines the relationship between Northern Khmer speakers and the Takaw forest as documented ethnobotanical knowledge and vocabulary maintenance. Methods: The data colle…
Plant recognition by Northern Khmer children in Ban Khanat Pring and Ban Ramboe Villages, Surin Province, Thailand
This article arises from a project that explores the acquisition of ethnobotanical knowledge in Northern Khmer-speaking communities in northeast Thailand, in response to the wish expressed by villagers to preserve their knowledge of the surrounding Takah Forest. This phase of the project consisted of a quantitative pictorial recognition test, using photographs of 111 plants previously documented, with twenty-eight young participants from Ban Khan…
Fronted NPs in a verb-initial language – clause-internal or external? Prosodic cues to the rescue
This paper investigates prosodic features of fronted constituents in the verb-initial Oceanic language Gela (spoken by about 16.000 people in Solomon Islands). Although Gela’s basic constituent order is verb-(object-)subject/predicate-subject, constituents can appear in front of the verbal predicate. Fronted constituents in Gela can be interpreted as pre-clausal (i.e. external to the following clause, immediately preceding it) or clause-initial (…
Constraints on noun phrase discontinuity in an Australian language: The role of prosody and information structure
Discontinuous noun phrases have posed a long-standing challenge for syntactic analysis. While there exists increasing evidence that discontinuous NPs are associated with specific information structure constellations crosslinguistically, Australian languages continue to be presented in the literature as radically non-configurational, with unlimited freedom of word order. We argue for Jaminjung, an Australian language of the Mirndi family, that onc…
