Talk across the Pacific
In this overview, we comment on recent findings from the Pacific on traditional multilingualism, acquisition, the effects of changing patterns of migration, and the role of creoles. We follow the broad definitions from Gil (2024), who considers the use of multiple varieties along a lectal cline of a single language and the use of multiple different languages to be examples of multilingualism. Multilingualism can be exoteric (more likely to be lar…
Acceptability, Feasibility, and Preliminary Effectiveness of a Wellbeing Coordination Program in an Integrated Health and Social Care Hub
The WBC program appears acceptable and feasible. Future research should establish program effectiveness with larger and more diverse caregiver samples
Gestures for me and you
Matukar Panau (ISO 639-3: mjk) is an Oceanic language spoken in Madang Province, Papua New Guinea by a small number of people with dense social connections. As is the case with many languages, communication is primarily face-to-face, meaning interlocutors see and hear their conversational partners and it is in this context that the language has evolved. Our study centres on referential gestures, i.e. those that help to indicate or establish a ref…
Learnings from how a wellbeing coordination program can meet the needs of families facing adversity
Background: Families facing adversity often need additional support to achieve engagement in services. The Wellbeing Coordinator (WBC) program was designed to facilitate engagement to services via a combination of care navigation and social prescribing within an integrated Child & Family Hub (CFH). There is currently a dearth of research specifically evaluating this type of program for children and families. Who it is for: The WBC program was co-…
Directional constructions in Matukar Panau
The Oceanic language Matukar Panau has three equivalent morphosyntactic strategies for describing the direction of the event represented by a verb, with a system of ten directional morphemes that can appear in each construction. This variation is explored using a corpus from Matukar Panau and analysed quantitatively with Bayesian regression analyses to assess what factors influence the choice of directional construction. Variables pertaining to t…
Clause chaining and the utterance phrase
Clause chaining is a form of syntactic dependency holding between a series of clauses, typically expressing temporal or causal relations between events. Prosodic hierarchy theory proposes that syntactic constituents are systematically mapped to prosodic constituents, but most versions of the theory do not account for clause chain syntax. This article presents original data from Matukar Panau, a clause-chaining Oceanic (Austronesian) language of P…
Expression of anaphoric subjects in Vera'a
The choice between a pronoun and zero anaphor for the expression of third-person subjects is examined in a corpus of Vera'a (Oceanic). While predominantly expressed by a pronoun, subjects are found to permit zero form with referents that have low anaphoric distance. Within this context, zero is found to be preferred with a subset of verbal predicates that take a specific tense-aspect-mood-polarity (TAMP) marker that historically retains subject a…
Effects of average and specific context probability on reduction of function words BE and Have
In a study of word shortening of HAVE and contraction of BE , it is found that both high transitional probability and high average context probability (low informativity) result in reduction. Previous studies have found this effect for content words and this study extend the findings to function words. Average context probability is by construction type, showing that words are shorter in constructions with high average predictability, namely in p…
Discourse motivations for pronominal and zero objects across registers in Vera'a
The choice between pronominal and zero form for objects in the Oceanic language Vera'a is investigated quantitatively in texts from two registers with discourse topics of three different ontological class memberships. Discourse topicality is found to predict best the choice between pronoun and zero, outranking the factors of ontological class membership, antecedent form, and antecedent function. Contrary to current models of referent tracking, an…
