The Wancho language of Kamhua Noknu village
This article compares the word list collected by and published in LTBA 21.2 by the late Robbins Burling and Mr Mankai Wangsu in 1998 , a word list that represents ‘Lower Wancho’, with a word list collected from Mr Banwang Losu of Kamhua Noknu village, in the Upper Wancho area. Along with the word list and a brief discussion of the phonology of this Upper Wancho variety, we introduce the Wancho script, created by Banwang Losu, now included in Unic…
Languages and Peoples of the Eastern Himalayan Region and the North East Indian Linguistics Society
This introductory contribution to the inaugural issue of Languages and Peoples of the Eastern Himalayan Region (LPEHR) outlines the mission and goals of this new publication outlet. LPEHR takes over where the North East Indian Linguistics (NEIL) series left off. As such, this introduction also looks back on NEIL. An index of all articles published in the NEIL volumes is attached as supplemental material to this contribution
Syllable duration in Tai Phake
Tai Phake (Tai Kadai/Southwestern Tai) has six lexical tones, and nine phonemic vowels plus a length distinction between / a / and / aː /. Following Banchob Bandhumedha (1987), the long / aː / is written as . The vowel length distinction is only found when there is a final nasal (/ m /, / n /, / ŋ /), semivowel (/ i /, / u /) or stop (/ p /, / t /, / k /). Three of the six tones are mid falling tones, which are conventially notated as Tone 3, Ton…
Assessing Annotated Corpora as Research Output
The increasing importance of language documentation as a paradigm in linguistic research means that many linguists now spend substantial amounts of time preparing digital corpora of language data for long-term access. Benefits of this development include: (i) making analyses accountable to the primary material on which they are based; (ii) providing future researchers with a body of linguistic material to analyse in ways not foreseen by the origi…
North East Indian Linguistics
North East India is one of the most linguistically diverse regions of the world, with over 100, and perhaps as many as 200, different languages spoken. This book aims to produce a volume reflective of both the linguistic diversity of the region as well as the high quality of current research on North East Indian Linguistics. The articles in this volume cover four of the language families represented in North East India: Tai-Kadai, Indo-Aryan, Tib…
Transitivity in Cholim Tangsa
Transitivity in the Cholim variety of Tangsa is seen to be a grammatical feature with low functional load. It is viewed in terms of three factors: the form of the verb (simplex, middle and causative), the relationship to markers of agentivity and anti-agentive, and the verbal agreement system of Cholim. Using traditional texts, the paper explores in detail the issues raised by an examination of transitivity, and relates the findings to the treatm…
Syntactic Variation in Different Styles of Tai Phake Songs
In this paper we explore the differences in syntactic structures between three types of Tai Phake songs, two traditional genres and one modern genre. Tai Phake (Tai Kadai/South Western Tai) is a tone language with six contrastive tones. The paper proposes that where a song style allows the realization of these tones in singing, greater freedom in syntactic structure is possible, and vice-versa. Another factor in this variation is the different rh…
North East Indian Linguistics
