Abstract

Abstract:This article is a continuation of investigations into the origin of East Polynesian languages in the Central Northern Outliers (Luangiua, Nukumanu, Takuu, Nukeria), rather than in Central Western Polynesia. Proto-East Polynesian is proposed as developing in an area bounded by the Phoenix, Line, and Marquesas Islands. Two major dialects of Proto-East Polynesian are reconstructed. Proto-East Polynesian Distal and Proto-East Polynesian Proximal. Proto-East Polynesian Distal is proposed as spoken distant from the Outliers in the Marquesas. East Polynesian Distal splits into Marquesan and Far Eastern Polynesian. Proto-Far Eastern Polynesia is proposed as spoken in Mangareva after settlement there from the Marquesas. Proto-Far Eastern Polynesian then splits into Mangarevan and Rapa Nui. The other major dialect of Proto-East Polynesian is Proto-East Polynesian Proximal, "proximal" because it is proposed as spoken in an area located closer to the Outliers than that where Proto-East Polynesian Distal was spoken. Proto East Polynesian Proximal is reconstructed with two subdialects, a Northern subdialect, Proto-East Polynesian Proximal (Northern), ancestral to Hawaiian, and a Southern subdialect Proto-East Polynesian Proximal (Southern), ancestral to the remaining East Polynesian languages. Proto-East Polynesian and later Proto-East Polynesian Proximal were likely initially spoken within the bounds of the Phoenix and Line Islands. The proposal for a large west to east Proto-East Polynesian homeland and the division of Proto-East Polynesian into three communalects that provided three migration streams out of that homeland contests the most commonly accepted ideas regarding the settlement of East Polynesia.

东波利尼西亚亚群及其在北离群-东波利尼西亚假说中的家园含义

摘要:本文是对东波利尼西亚语言在中北部异类(Luangiua, Nukumanu, Takuu, Nukeria)而不是在中西部波利尼西亚起源的调查的延续。原东波利尼西亚人被认为是在凤凰群岛、莱恩群岛和马克萨斯群岛的边界地区发展起来的。原东波利尼西亚的两个主要方言被重建。原始东波利尼西亚远端和原始东波利尼西亚近端。原始东波利尼西亚远端被认为是在马克萨斯群岛的离群人很远的地方说的。东波利尼西亚远端分为马克逊和远东波利尼西亚。原远东波利尼西亚在马克萨斯人定居后被认为是曼加里瓦人的语言。原始远东波利尼西亚人随后分裂为曼加里万和拉帕努伊。原东波利尼西亚语的另一个主要方言是原东波利尼西亚近端方言，之所以说“近端”，是因为它被认为是在比原东波利尼西亚远端更靠近离群者的地区使用的。原东波利尼西亚近端方言由两个次方言重建，一个是北部次方言，原东波利尼西亚近端方言(北部)，起源于夏威夷语，另一个是南部次方言原东波利尼西亚近端方言(南部)，起源于剩余的东波利尼西亚语言。原东波利尼西亚语和后来的原东波利尼西亚近端语最初可能是在凤凰岛和莱恩群岛范围内使用的。关于东波利尼西亚定居的最普遍接受的观点是，从西到东的原始波利尼西亚人家园，以及将原始东波利尼西亚人划分为三个社区，提供了三个移民流。
