  • Lexicography and language documentation

    Rene Van Den BergARTICLELexicography2024

    he alarming rate at which minority languages are vanishing around the globe has engendered the field of language documentation, of which lexicography is an essential component. In this context, several major developments have emerged in the last two decades, including the importance of involving and collaborating with the speech community, as well as the rise of novel digital technologies.

    Comparative constructions are an understudied field of research in the regional languages of Indonesia. This paper provides a detailed look at Muna, an Austronesian language of southeast Sulawesi, where there appears to be an unusually large assortment of comparative constructions and lexemes. These include the comparative, superlative and equative degree (all of which are expressed non-morphologically), correlative and 'let alone' constructions,…

  • A Proto-Oceanic Passive? Evidence from Bola and Natügu

    Rene Van Den Berg, Brenda H BoergerARTICLEOceanic Linguistics2011

    Though morphological passives are said to be rare in Oceanic languages, we report on such passives in Bola (Western Oceanic), spoken in Papua New Guinea, and Natügu (Temotu Oceanic), spoken in the Solomon Islands. These languages have passive morphemes that are cognate with Proto–Malayo-Polynesian (PMP) *-in- both in form and function, which leads us to conclude that a morphological passive should be reconstructed for Proto-Oceanic (POC).

  • Retained and Introduced Final Consonants in Vitu

    Rene Van Den Berg, René van den Berg et al.ARTICLEOceanic Linguistics2006

    In this article we present data on final consonants in Vitu, a Western Oceanic language spoken in West New Britain (PNG). Although Vitu has as a rule lost Proto-Oceanic final consonants, we show that such consonants still emerge in nouns that are inalienably possessed. Surprisingly, a number of nouns that ended in a vowel in Proto-Oceanic also show a final consonant in Vitu. The reason for the introduction of these consonants is unclear
