Abstract

Abstract:Divergence and diversity at the level of phonology and lexicon in many of the Austronesian languages of Borneo are widely recognized and well studied. However, the source of this divergence is debated. In this paper, lexical items in the languages of Borneo which lack secure Austronesian etymologies are the object of study. Some of these words show potential semantic and phonological matches with Austroasiatic forms, suggesting a possible early period of in situ contact between Austronesian speakers and speakers of Mon-Khmer languages on the island of Borneo.

婆罗洲奥斯特罗亚西亚语存在的奥斯特罗亚西亚语词汇证据

摘要：婆罗洲的许多南岛语系语言在语音和词汇方面的差异和多样性已得到广泛认可和深入研究。然而，这种分歧的根源却存在争议。本文的研究对象是婆罗洲语言中缺乏可靠的南岛语词源的词汇项目。其中一些词在语义和语音上可能与南岛语的形式相吻合，这表明南岛语使用者与婆罗洲岛上的孟高棉语使用者可能在早期有过原地接触。

期刊介绍： Oceanic Linguistics is the only journal devoted exclusively to the study of the indigenous languages of the Oceanic area and parts of Southeast Asia. The thousand-odd languages within the scope of the journal are the aboriginal languages of Australia, the Papuan languages of New Guinea, and the languages of the Austronesian (or Malayo-Polynesian) family. Articles in Oceanic Linguistics cover issues of linguistic theory that pertain to languages of the area, report research on historical relations, or furnish new information about inadequately described languages.
