Kiput historical phonology.(Sarawak, Malaysia)

From: Oceanic Linguistics | Date: December 1, 2002| Author: Blust, Robert | Copyright information

The languages of northern Sarawak are noteworthy for their unusual phonological histories. Even among these, Kiput is exceptional. All North Sarawak languages reflect a split of the Proto-Austronesian voiced obstruents into a series of plain voiced obstruents and a parallel series of phonemic voiced aspirates, and most of the same languages have fronted low vowels after a voiced obstruent, or have developed systems of verbal ablaut from the infixes *-um- and *-in-. On top of these ...

The phonestheme [UNKEYBOARDABLE SYMBOL]-in Austronesian languages.
Oceanic Linguistics ; Many Austronesian languages show a far greater than chance correlation between morphemes that begin with a velar nasal and the general semantic domain 'mouth/nose'. Morphemes in this category may be either nouns ('saliva', 'snot', 'chin', 'beard', 'lip') or verbs ('gape', 'gnaw' 'grin, show the

More Reflexes of Proto-Oceanic *q in Vanuatu languages (1). (Squib).
Oceanic Linguistics ; Although it has generally been assumed that Namakir is the only Vanuatu language that has a phonemic reflex of Proto-Oceanic *q, recent data collected from a number of languages in north-central Malakula show that *q is also reflected there, though it is lost in quite a number of words.
