Abstract
The reconstruction of the kinship terminology of the now-extinct Tugu Creole Portuguese (TCP) results from the
triangulation between TCP’s available kinship terminology, the complete mapping for Malacca Creole Portuguese (MCP), and the
terminology used currently by the Tugu community, which experienced a language shift towards Indonesian Malay and Betawi Malay. By
examining the Tugu Village community in Jakarta, Indonesia, this paper adds more evidence for the existence of parallel kinship
structures within one community and establishes linguistic and anthropological evidence for markers of inclusion and distinction
among Jakarta’s ethnic groups. Thus, the Malay variety spoken in Tugu (TuM) possesses sociohistorical and linguistic elements that
distinguish the community from other local communities, together with elements that bind the community to other Asian-Portuguese
creole communities.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages (JPCL) aims to provide a forum for the scholarly study of pidgins, creoles, and other contact language varieties, from multi-disciplinary perspectives. The journal places special emphasis on current research devoted to empirical description, theoretical issues, and the broader implications of the study of contact languages for theories of language acquisition and change, and for linguistic theory in general. The editors also encourage contributions that explore the application of linguistic research to language planning, education, and social reform, as well as studies that examine the role of contact languages in the social life and culture, including the literature, of their communities.
