Abstract

Abstract:In this article I provide an overview of Welaun, an Austronesian language of central Timor. Despite previous documentation, Welaun is mostly unknown to the scientific community. Based on data gathered during original fieldwork, I show that Welaun is a distinct language according to both linguistic and social criteria. I investigate the historical phonology of Welaun and show that it, Kemak, Tokodede, and Mambae form a Central Timor subgroup apart from other languages of the region. I also provide an initial description of the phonology and morphology of Welaun along with a glossed text and two wordlists.

重新引入Welaun

摘要:在本文中，我概述了东帝汶中部的一种南岛语威劳语。尽管之前有文献记载，但科学界对韦劳恩知之甚少。根据在原始田野调查中收集的数据，我表明，根据语言学和社会标准，韦劳语是一种独特的语言。我调查了Welaun的历史音系，并表明它，Kemak, Tokodede和Mambae除了该地区的其他语言外，还形成了一个中帝汶亚群。我还提供了Welaun的音韵学和形态学的初步描述，以及一个有光泽的文本和两个单词表。

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.
