Abstract

Abstract:Verb-initial oral/nasal grade crossover has been documented for a range of languages in central Vanuatu. But relics of this crossover are found elsewhere in the Southern Oceanic subgroup, including in high-level reconstructed protolanguages. At the same time, similar crossover occurs initially in nouns in a number of languages, as does fortition (distinct from oral/nasal crossover) in verbs. This paper documents these cases and shows how the presence of a preceding nasal-initial morpheme accounts for crossover, while reduplication seems to account for non-nasal fortition.

南大洋的辅音变异

摘要:在瓦努阿图中部的一系列语言中，已经记录了动词-初始口头/鼻级交叉。但在南大洋亚群的其他地方也发现了这种交叉的遗迹，包括在高级重建的原始语言中。与此同时，类似的交叉最初出现在许多语言的名词中，动词中的强化(不同于口语/鼻音交叉)也是如此。本文记录了这些情况，并说明了如何存在一个前鼻音初始语素的交叉，而重复似乎说明了非鼻音强化。

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.
