Abstract

Abstract:This paper compares the aspectual and modal systems in two dialects of Puyuma—Nanwang and Katripul—and as a basis for the reconstruction of the protosystem. In modern Puyuma dialects, there is an asymmetry between Actor Voice (av) and Undergoer Voice (uv) in terms of the aspectual/modal value that they may be used to denote. In both dialects, av clauses show a realis vs. irrealis distinction. In Nanwang, uv clauses display the same dichotomy (realis vs. irrealis), but in Katripul the distinction is between perfective vs. imperfective. Based on these facts, I argue that Proto-Puyuma was an aspect-prominent language; that is, the major distinction in its aspectual/modal system was between perfective/imperfective.

原始卑南体模系统的重构

摘要：本文比较了卑南两种方言（南旺语和卡特里普尔语）的体部系统和语气系统，为重构原系统提供了依据。在现代卑南方言中，演员音（av）和下层音（uv）在可用于表示的方面/语气值方面存在不对称。在这两种方言中，av从句都显示出现实与非现实的区别。在《南王》中，uv从句表现出同样的二分法（现实与非现实），但在《卡特里普尔》中，区分是完全与不完全。基于这些事实，笔者认为卑南原语是一种侧面突出的语言；也就是说，它的方面/语气系统的主要区别在于完成/不完成。

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.
