The introduction situates the language, and details our motivation for producing a squib volume. Our hope is that the collected squibs will both establish some basic facts about Lutuv (which is almost entirely unrepresented in the previous linguistic literature, identify issues worthy of future investigation, and lay the groundwork for future work.

This leads us to ask: Does Hakha Chin conform to the documented pattern of using spatial terms to talk about time? In answering this question, we also learn what components are necessary to form temporal adverbial phrases. The data presented here suggest that in the context of temporal adverbial phrases, Hakha Chin does employ spatial terms to talk about time. Specifically, the body terms hnu (literally ‘back) and hmai (literally ‘face’) are used to mean ‘last’ (as in ‘last week’) and ‘next’ (as in ‘next week’), respectively. Formation of a temporal adverbial phrase requires such a body term (hnu or hmai), which orients to either the future or past, and a term to indicate the temporal period (e.g. week, year).","PeriodicalId":362771,"journal":{"name":"Indiana Working Papers in South Asian Languages and Cultures","volume":"7 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113941685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study uses the diagnostics of changing the speech rate (Beckman et al. 2011), and examines whether it can be used to find the specified phonological features of a language with a three-way contrast, Hakha Chin. The Laryngeal Realism states that the phonological features are privative and that the aspirating language is specified with the feature [spread glottis], while the true voiced language is specified with the feature of [voice]. It has been widely known that the speech rate affects laryngeal stops asymmetrically, and LR authors argue this is because the phonological features are privative rather than binary (e.g. Kessinger & Blumstein 1997). Methodologically, it attempts to experimentally control the rate variation with the help of metronome (de Jong 2001). The present study observes that in Hakha Chin, at a slower rate, the VOT of the prevoiced stop and the aspirated stop increase, while the voiceless unaspirated does not, which support the claims of the LR, but with caveats due to speaker variations.","PeriodicalId":362771,"journal":{"name":"Indiana Working Papers in South Asian Languages and Cultures","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115959242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
