The totality of numerous features shared by the two mutually unrelated indigenous Caucasian linguistic families (North Caucasian and Kartvelian) could be interpreted in terms of the Caucasian Sprachbund; this does not preclude the postulation of parallel smaller Caucasian Sprachbünde. 10 01 JB code slcs.90.03kla 95 149 55 Article 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">3. East Nusantara as a linguistic area</TitleText> 1 A01 Marian A.F. Klamer Klamer, Marian A.F. Marian A.F. Klamer 2 A01 Ger P. Reesink Reesink, Ger P. Ger P. Reesink 3 A01 Mirjam van Staden Staden, Mirjam van Mirjam van Staden 01 In this paper we consider how Eastern Indonesia may be treated as a linguistic area. We propose five defining linguistic features and we discuss their occurrence in some 40 Austronesian (AN) and non-Austronesian (NAN) languages of South Sulawesi, Flores, Sumba, Timor, Alor and Pantar, the Moluccas, Halmahera, the Bird’s Head, and the Cenderawasih Bay. We propose that of these five areal features, three are Papuan features that have diffused into the Austronesian languages, while two Austronesian features have diffused into the Papuan languages. These Papuan features are: (1) possessor-possessum order in adnominal possession, (2) overt marking of the distinction alienable vs. inalienable possession, and (3) clause-final negation. While these features are not generally found in Austronesian, we will demonstrate that they occur in many Austronesian languages in East Nusantara and around the Bird’s Head, as well as in the Papuan languages of this area. The Austronesian features are: (4) SVO as primary constituent order, and (5) an inclusive/exclusive opposition in the pronominal paradigm. These features are not found in Papuan languages in general, yet they are attested in both the Papuan and the Austronesian languages of East Nusantara, as we will demonstrate. Although the features do not all converge on the same isoglosses, together they define a linguistic area: East Nusantara. This area has Halmahera and the Bird’s Head as its core, and radiates outwards to include the Moluccas and Alor/Pantar first, followed by the island Timor. 10 01 JB code slcs.90.04cre 151 179 29 Article 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">4.

In spite of the fact that these languages diverge enormously at the lexical level, they do seem to share a considerable number of structural features. Most of these languages are seriously endangered, but fortunately recent research initiatives have contributed to their documentation and led to new insights and data. This paper reviews the present research situation with regard to these languages and examines possible areal linguistic relationships in the Guaporé-Mamoré region. 10 01 JB code slcs.90.05mis 181 219 39 Article 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">5.

Displaying individual typological features of the Balkan languages in interaction with other features in the structure of the DP or the clause and taking into consideration sociolinguistic factors and dialectal variation, she tries to identify structural similarities, establish links between structural differences, and shed light upon a number of pertinent Balkan Sprachbund questions. 10 01 JB code slcs.90.06syb 221 274 54 Article 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">6. Zhuang: A Tai language with some Sinitic characteristics.

In this paper we investigate the properties of this element in Cantonese, Lao, Vietnamese and Zhuang. One of the questions we focus on is the fact that the element in question can be translated with ‘can’, but the languages differ in that only in a subset of them, it can mean ‘can-ability’. It turns out that the interpretational properties of the element is tightly interrelated with both syntactic and interpretational properties of the resultative construction. 10 01 JB code slcs.90.08lan 275 280 6 Miscellaneous 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Language index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code slcs.90.09aut 281 284 4 Miscellaneous 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Author index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code slcs.90.10sub 285 289 5 Miscellaneous 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code slcs.90.11pla 291 293 3 Miscellaneous 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Place index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20080206 2008 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027231000 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 21 01 00 110.00 EUR R 01 00 92.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 165.00 USD S 362005441 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code SLCS 90 Hb 15 9789027231000 13 2007034442 BB 01 SLCS 02 0165-7763 Studies in Language Companion Series 90 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">From Linguistic Areas to Areal Linguistics</TitleText> 01 slcs.90 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/slcs.90 1 B01 Pieter Muysken Muysken, Pieter Pieter Muysken Radboud University Nijmegen 01 eng 304 vii 293 LAN009000 v.2006 CFF 2 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.CONT Contact Linguistics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.THEOR Theoretical linguistics 06 01 <i>From linguistic areas to areal linguistics</i> explores language description and typology in terms of areal background, presenting case studies in areal linguistics.
