Abstract

Abstract:Number words in several Tungag-Nalik languages are morphologically complex. This kind of complexity is not the result of arithmetic operations but has its origin in the sequence of successive Proto-Oceanic number words. In this paper, the term sequential number word formation is used to designate this pattern. As sequential number word formation is also found in several other Meso-Melanesian languages and non-Austronesian languages of New Ireland and New Britain, it is likely to be an areal feature.

通加格-纳利克语（新爱尔兰）中的顺序数字词构成

摘要：通格-纳利克语中的数词在形态上是复杂的。这种复杂性不是算术运算的结果，而是源于连续的原始海洋数字单词序列。在本文中，术语顺序数字字形成被用来指定这种模式。由于在其他几种中美拉尼西亚语言以及新爱尔兰和新不列颠的非南岛语言中也发现了顺序数字词的形成，这很可能是一个区域特征。

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.
