Abstract

Qaqet (Glottocode qaqe1238; ISO 639-3: byx) is a Papuan (i.e. non-Austronesian) Baining language that is spoken by an estimated 15,000 people in Papua New Guinea’s East New Britain Province. Figure 1 shows a map of where Qaqet and the four other known Baining languages (Mali, Kairak (also spelt Qairaq – see map), Simbali and Ura) are spoken (see Stebbins, Evans & Terrill 2017 for an overview of Baining; for phonological descriptions, see Stanton 2007 on Ura, and Stebbins 2011 on Mali). The wider affiliations of the Baining languages are unknown. They share typological features with other East Papuan languages (i.e. the non-Austronesian languages of Island Melanesia), but there is no historical-comparative evidence to establish genealogical relationships.1 In terms of phonology, there are no structures shared across all of East Papuan, but Baining languages have similarities to the East Papuan language Kuot spoken on neighbouring New Ireland (i.e. the intervocalic lenition of voiceless plosives; pitch movements at the right edge of intonation units).2 Furthermore, language contact is known to have taken place across the entire region, and Baining languages share typological features with Oceanic languages. This includes phonemic contrasts between voiceless and voiced plosives and between /r/ and /l/; as well as a number of morphosyntactic structures (e.g. a large inventory of definite and indefinite articles, AVO/SV constituent order, prepositions).

Qaqet（Glottocode qaqe1238；ISO 639-3:byx）是一种巴布亚语（即非南岛语）贝宁语，巴布亚新几内亚东新不列颠省估计有15000人使用。图1显示了Qaqet和其他四种已知的贝宁语（马里语、Kairak语（也拼写为Qairak，见地图）、Simbali语和Ura语）的使用地图（贝宁语概述见Stebbins，Evans&Terrill 2017；语音描述见Stanton 2007关于Ura语和Stebbins 2011关于马里语）。贝宁语言的更广泛的隶属关系尚不清楚。它们与其他东巴布亚语言（即美拉尼西亚岛的非南岛语族语言）有着共同的类型学特征，但没有历史比较证据来建立系谱关系。1就音韵学而言，整个东巴布亚都没有共同的结构，但贝宁语与邻国新爱尔兰的东巴布亚语Kuot有相似之处（即无声塞音的发音间；语调单位右边缘的音高移动）。2此外，众所周知，整个地区都发生了语言接触，贝宁语和大洋洲语有着共同的类型学特征。这包括无声和有声塞音之间以及/r/和/l/之间的音位对比；以及许多形态句法结构（例如大量的定冠词和不定冠词、AVO/SV成分顺序、介词）。

期刊介绍： The Journal of the International Phonetic Association (JIPA) is a forum for work in the fields of phonetic theory and description. As well as including papers on laboratory phonetics/phonology and related topics, the journal encourages submissions on practical applications of phonetics to areas such as phonetics teaching and speech therapy, as well as the analysis of speech phenomena in relation to computer speech processing. It is especially concerned with the theory behind the International Phonetic Alphabet and discussions of the use of symbols for illustrating the phonetic structures of a wide variety of languages. JIPA now publishes online audio files to supplement written articles Published for the International Phonetic Association
