Malagasy Personal Pronouns
This paper traces the history of pronouns in various regional forms of Malagasy and proposes a reconstruction of Proto-Malagasy pronouns. Four sets of pronouns are reconstructed for Proto-Malagasy: a default nominative set marked with Ø, a topicalized nominative set in which 1st person pronouns are marked with a form *i, a genitive set marked with *=n-, and an oblique set marked with *an=. The development of some pronouns is shown to provide clue…
A New View of the Proto-Oceanic Pronominal System
Proto-Oceanic had two distinct sets of clitic pronouns, with members of one set expressing the S ("subject" of intransitive sentences), while the members of the other set expressed the A ("agent" of transitive sentences). Clitic pronouns expressing O ("object") observed in some Oceanic languages today are later innovations, rather than reflexes of Proto-Oceanic "object" clitic forms. The main evidence comes from a comparison of what is reconstruc…
Rotuman and Fijian Case-Marking Strategies and Their Historical Development
Rotuman and Fijian Case-Marking Strategies and Their Historical Development1 Ritsuko Kikusawa Abstract Although the Fijian languages and Rotuman are thought to be closely related genetically, and are all accusative languages, considerable differences are observed in their case-marking strategies. This paper describes the various strategies to be found in these languages, and discusses how they could have developed from a single protosystem. It is…
