Place names and inter-island trade in Eastern Indonesia
This paper investigates coastal and trade-related names in the Abui community of Takalelang in the Alor-Pantar Archipelago of Eastern Indonesia. The area has supplied forest products, spices, and food to the archipelago's trade network for at least 2000 years. The paper triangulates evidence from toponymy, historical sources, material culture, and oral tradition to understand the name-giving process and its historical and cultural context. The me…

Vulnerable, Heroic … or Invisible? Representations Versus Realities of Later Life in Indonesia
Indonesia, like many rapidly ageing lower-middle-income countries (LMICs), tends to portray older citizens as ‘vulnerable’ and ‘dependent’; yet the country has few public policies to support them.

In this article, we argue that both stereotypes i…
Aspectual pairing and aspectual classes in Abui
This paper describes the aspectual classes in Abui, a Papuan language of the Timor-Alor-Pantar family. Abui innovated a system of aspectual stem pairing, realized by consonant mutation, vowel grading, and rime mutation. Although stem pairing is widespread (about 61% of the verbs alternate), about 38% of our 1,330 verb sample are unpaired and immutable. Abui verbal stems combine with aspectual affixes, adverbs and auxiliary verbs, whose distributi…
