Abstract
Abstract:This squib provides an overview of conjunctions in Siraya. Unlike in most other Formosan languages, conjunctions in Siraya often appear as enclitics after the coordinated elements. All clitics occur in the second position attached to the first prosodic word. Two coordinators, =appa 'and' and =lava 'or' always appear as enclitics, while ra 'but' only sometimes does.
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.
