Chapter 1
What does it mean to be an isolating language?
The case of Riau Indonesian
This chapter poses the question “What does it mean to be an
isolating language?” and addresses it by offering a case study of such a language, Riau
Indonesian. First, this chapter surveys the debate concerning the viability of the
notion of word as a comparative concept, proposes a definition of word as a cut-off
point between two distinct levels of structure, morphology and syntax, and then follows
with a definition of an isolating language as one lacking a robust structural unit of
word. Next, the chapter presents an extensive exploration of wordhood in Riau
Indonesian, examining 14 potential sources of evidence for word structure. Overall, the
evidence for wordhood is shown to be sparse, thereby justifying the characterisation of
Riau Indonesian as an isolating language and at the same time demonstrating what an
isolating language may look like.
