une approche pré-phonologique de l'orthographeUn certain graphème peut parfois représenter plusieurs phonèmes.Dans les textes liturgiques, le fricatif vélaire ne se trouve qu'à la fin d'une syllabe.Il peut être rendu par 'g', 'gh', 'ch', 'h' ou même ø.Par exemple, 'papaemaemaeh-en', 'papaemaemae-en', 'papaemaeghan': il s'agit ici d'une dérivation pä-p'-äm-ämäx-an 'court de justice'.Le 'h' finale désigne un x, ce qu'on sait part le fait qu'il vari…
The Austronesian Languages of Asia and Madagascar
Some 800 Austronesian languages are spoken in the area extending from Madagascar to eastern Indonesia and to the north to Taiwan and the Philippines. They vary greatly in almost every possible respect, including the size and social make-up of the speech communities and their typological profiles. This book is designed to serve as a reference work a

Siraya Reduplication
The main patterns of reduplication in Siraya (West Formosa) include monosyllabic root reduplication, an inherent lexical property of certain wordbases, and disyllabic reduplication, which adds the notion of diffuseness (including plurality, variety, similarity) to nominal wordbases, and the notion of diffusenes (repetition of action, plurality of actants) or continuity (including state, process) to verbal wordbases. The same meanings are conveyed…

Grammar Notes on Siraya, an Extinct Formosan Language
This is an attempt to unravel the grammar of a gospel text in Siraya, an extinct West Formosan language. It includes a discussion of the historical setting, the spelling, phonological features, function words, relation markers, morphosyntax of the verb, and the use of deictic verbs as prepositions. Regarding verbal morphosyntax, special attention is given to case marking suffixes, verbal classifiers, compound verbs, and anticipating sequences. Ve…

Malay and Javanese loanwords in Malagasy, Tagalog and Siraya (Formosa)
L'histoire culturelle et politique de l'Asie du sud-est montre l'importance des groupes ethniques Malais et Javanais. Cette situation est refletee par les emprunts linguistiques dans les langues indonesiennes, malaisiennes et dans quelques langues de la Philippine. En examinant les emprunts dans des langues tels le tagalog et le malgache, l'A. veut montrer l'influence du malais et du javanais sur les locuteurs natifs de ces iles
The internal classification of the Malayic subgroup
My This paper is a critical evaluation of B. Nothofer's definition of 'Malayic' (§1). It also discusses his classification of Iban (or 'Sea Dayak') as a separate primary branch in the Malayic language group, and his analysis of some aspects of Iban phonological history (§ 2).The Malayic language group consists of (literary, standard) Malay and all dialects and languages that are sufficiently close to Malay in order to form an exclusive subgroup w…
The relevance of Salako for Proto-Malayic and for Old Malay epigraphy
Salako is spoken in the Lundu district of Sarawak's First Division and in three discontinuous areas in Kabupaten Sambas in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Despite the persistent belief of some scholars that Salako is a Land Dayak isolect, it belongs to the Malayic-Dayak linguistic subgroup, as Hudson (1970) already pointed out, and is closely related to Kendayan and Belangin (both spoken in Kabupaten Pontianak). These three dialects are mutually inte…

Malay Influence on Malagasy
INTRODUCTION. In 1951 0. C. Dahl wrote a dissertation on the relationship between Malagasy and Maanyan, a language of the SoutheastBarito region in South Kalimantan. Acting on a suggestion from W. Aichele about a possible close genetic relationship between these two languages, he showed convincingly that they were indeed more closely related to each other than either is to any other language.1 Today few Austronesianists will doubt the outcome of …

Some proto-Malayic affixes
The reconstruction of Proto-Malayic phonology and grammar has not so far attracted the attention of comparative linguists. This is not a state ment of the obvious, considering the fact that Malay is the most impor tant language of Southeast Asia and that it has been used extensively for the reconstruction of higher-order proto-languages such as Proto Austronesian, Proto-Malayo-Polynesian, and Proto-Malayo-Javanic. Higher-order reconstructions sho…
