Austroasiatic loanwords in Austronesian languages
This paper investigates lexical borrowing from Austroasiatic into Austronesian languages. It does so for the following contact stages and interactions between these languages following the Austronesian overseas dispersal: (Stage 1) early contacts between Austroasiatic and Malayo-Polynesian particularly in the early Neolithic in the area encompassing mainland Southeast Asia, Northwest Kalimantan, and Sumatra, often resulting in the transmission of…

The first standard grammar of Malay; George Werndly’s 1736 Maleische spraakkunst
A brief biography of George Henrik Werndly and description of contemporaneous development of linguistics is followed by a perusal of Melchior Leydekker’s and Petrus van der Vorm’s policy of strictly using Classical Malay in Christian publication, that served as basis of Werndly’s work. Then, a detailed perusal of Werndly’s 1736 Malay grammar, in particular the divisions (“books”) on (I) spelling, (II) morphology, and (III) syntax, is illustrated …
A rediscovered 1696 decree poster of the Governor General in Batavia, with unexpected stylistic particularities
A 1696 decree forbidding the opening of new sugar-, arrack-, lime-, and brick- production sites because of the scarcity of firewood was generally disobeyed. Its official poster was not archived, but ended up in a foreign library, where it was recently rediscovered. It presents a unique original full-length official text of that time. This makes it possible to examine the language style, which cannot be appreciated in reedited publications of offi…
Origins of Southeast Asian Shipping and Maritime Communication Across the Indian Ocean
Bifurcation of Commercial Tradition in West Indonesia, 1850–1930, as Reflected in Contemporaneous Malay Print Publishing
Linguistic data on transmission of Southeast Asian cultigens to India and Sri Lanka
Using language to date the origin and spread of food production, Archaeology and Language II represents groundbreaking work in synthesizing two disciplines that are now seen as interlinked: linguistics and archaeology. This volume is the second part of a three-part survey of innovative results emerging from their combination. Archaeology and historical linguistics have largely pursued separate tracks until recently, although their goals can be ve…
Yavadvipa and the Merapi Volcano in West Sumatra
Cet article vise à reconstruire trois épisodes de l’histoire de Yavadvipa (émergence à Sumatra, conquête par Sri Vijaya, et renaissance à Java Central), dans lesquels le volcan Merapi joua un rôle, plus particulièrement au cours du troisième épisode durant lequel eut lieu un transfert des toponymes sumatranais Java ~ Jawa and Merapi en direction de Java et d’un volcan de cette île. Les témoignages de Kedukan Bukit, Kota Kapur, Canggal, Ligor (Cha…

Some Austronesian Maverick Protoforms with Culture-Historical Implications
Some Austronesian Maverick Protoforms with Culture-Historical Implications
Noting the increasing weight given to shared as subgrouping criteria, this paper investigates distortions that may occur through inclusion of nonauthentic lexical (which it terms mavericks) and correlates examples of such nonauthentic with datable archaeological and historiographic data. Protoforms for 'iron' are found to be nonauthentic, their distribution suggesting the Sulu-Sangir area as an important dispersal center, and agreeing with histor…
Some problems of the phonology of metropolitan Indonesian
The phonology of Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) still poses several problems, in particular as regards the so-called loaned phonemes, i.e. phonemes which appeared in Malay and Indonesian as a result of word-borrowing fom Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian and, in more recent times, from Dutch and other European languages. The language commonly designated as Bahasa Indonesia actually represents a large number of dialects and subdialects, not only territo ri…
