As the pace of language extinction increases, linguists and native communities are accelerating their efforts to speak, remember, record, analyze and archive as much as possible of our common human heritage that is linguistic diversity. The window of opportunity for documentation is narrower than the actual lifetime of a language, and is now rapidly closing for many languages represented in this volume. The authors of these papers unveil newly collected data from previously poorly known and endangered languages. They organize highly complex linguistic facts&#173; - paradigms, affixes, vowel patterns&#173; - while pointing out the theoretically challenging aspects of these. Beyond this, they reflect on the social and human dimensions, discussing particular problems of nostalgia and modernity, memory and forgetting, and obsolescence and ethics, while viewing language as not merely data on a page but as a living creation in the minds and mouths of its speakers. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/tsl.78.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027229908.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027229908.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/tsl.78.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/tsl.78.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/tsl.78.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/tsl.78.hb.png 10 01 JB code tsl.78.prelim i iv 4 Prelim pages -1 10 01 JB code tsl.78.toc v vi 2 Table of contents 0 10 01 JB code tsl.78.01har 1 12 12 Miscellaneous 1 1 A01 K.

It departs from previous studies of SLM in that it is based on substantial recordings of spoken data in natural settings as well as coverage of oral and written history. Work on SLM so far has offered significant insights into the nature of these varieties; due to limited data available, however, some aspects have failed to emerge which are important for our current understanding of SLM. In particular, I aim to show the value of first-hand historical research and natural linguistic data in order to achieve plausible accounts of genesis and accurate classifications of SLM varieties. Based on the combination of these approaches, this paper argues that SLM is the result of trilingual admixture, in which a typological shift from Malay to Lankan grammar occurs. 10 01 JB code tsl.78.03bec 43 66 24 Article 3 1 A01 Aurore Monod Becquelin Monod Becquelin, Aurore Aurore Monod Becquelin Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France 2 A01 Emmanuel de Vienne Vienne, Emmanuel de Emmanuel de Vienne Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, France 3 A01 Raquel Guirardello-Damian Guirardello-Damian, Raquel Raquel Guirardello-Damian Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Holland 01 There is no unified policy for preservation and&#47;or documentation of endangered languages. Each case engenders its own issues and constraints due to its particular cultural and historical situation. Documentation of the Amazonian Trumai language and culture illustrates the intricacy of the parameters that run the gamut from globalisation to local and punctual conflicts, and from the state of world affairs to quarrels over chiefdom inheritance. 10 01 JB code tsl.78.04dru 67 110 44 Article 4 1 A01 Sebastian Drude Drude, Sebastian Sebastian Drude Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi 01 This paper describes the verbal Tense-Aspect-Mood system of Awet&#237; &#40;Tupian, Central Brazil&#41; in a Word-and-Paradigm approach.<br />One classification of Awet&#237; verb forms contains clear aspect categories.

Furthermore, a small number of homophones have come to be distinguished by tonal contour. Although at least two Turkic and Mongolic languages have occasionally copied the most salient tonal features of some Chinese loanwords, this is the first known example of both distinctive pitch contrasts in native lexemes, as well as default prosodic accent at the utterance level. Such an incipient tonal system offers insight into the relationship between often-contested types of prosodic accent as well as the effects of intensive language contact. 10 01 JB code tsl.78.06fau 129 158 30 Article 6 1 A01 Carlos Fausto Fausto, Carlos Carlos Fausto 2 A01 Bruna Franchetto Franchetto, Bruna Bruna Franchetto 3 A01 Michael Heckenberger Heckenberger, Michael Michael Heckenberger 01 In this article we present results from interdisciplinary research among the Kuikuro of the Upper Xingu &#40;Brazil&#41;. The project integrates linguistic, ethnographic and archaeological data as a means to reconstruct the processes through which peoples speaking languages of the three largest South American linguistic groupings &#40;Arawak, Carib, and Tupi&#41;, as well as a language isolate &#40;Trumai&#41;, came to create a unique social system: the Upper Xingu sociocultural complex. We address the following questions: how did this system &#8211; spanning from the 9th century AD until the present and formed by peoples with distinct cultures and origins &#8211; come into being? Which cultural bases and historical circumstances led to its structuring? What role did language and multilingualism play in this process? 10 01 JB code tsl.78.07gip 159 194 36 Article 7 1 A01 Jost Gippert Gippert, Jost Jost Gippert 01 The paper discusses several linguistic peculiarities of three endangered Caucasian languages of Georgia that are currently being documented within the DoBeS &#8220;ECLinG&#8221; project, viz.

The main focus lies on questions of the phonology &#40;vowel systems, pharyngeal and laryngeal subsystems&#41; and the morphosyntax &#40;verbal agreement, ergativity&#41; of these languages.

Golluscio Golluscio, Lucía A. Lucía A. Golluscio Universidad de Buenos Aires, Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Argentina 2 A01 Hebe González González, Hebe Hebe González Universidad Nacional de San Juan 01 This paper focuses on Tapiete &#40;Tupi-Guarani&#41; and Vilela &#40;Lule-Vilela&#41;, the two most severely endangered languages in the Argentine Chaco. Both show the results of linguistic attrition without obsolescence. However, the state of each one and chances for revitalization differ radically. While multigenerational Tapiete communities exist and are strengthening ties among themselves, the extreme paucity of Vilela speakers and the lack of a speech community have proven to be critical threats. The paper examines two particular aspects of language shift: borrowing in Tapiete and attrition in Vilela. Creative processes in the adaptation of loanwords have revealed linguistic resistance in Tapiete. In the case of Vilela, despite documented phonological and grammatical reduction, core linguistic structures have been activated through language remembering strategies. Although the pressure of Spanish has long been present, its structure has not been decisive to vernacular language loss. Rather, the abandonment of Tapiete and Vilela is rooted in the speakers' history of socio-cultural subordination. 10 01 JB code tsl.78.09har 243 270 28 Article 9 1 A01 K. David Harrison Harrison, K. David K. David Harrison Swarthmore College 2 A01 Gregory D.S. Anderson Anderson, Gregory D.S. Gregory D.S. Anderson Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages 01 Small and moribund languages seem to behave in some ways as if they were going to continue living forever. Their speakers &#8211; including those in the very terminal generation &#8211; may continue to introduce changes and innovations, including changes resulting in both simplification and in greater complexity. It is often difficult to disentangle whether a particular change is driven by internal restructuring, contact induced change, obsolescence effects, or some combination of these. We also find in moribund languages an unusually high incidence of variation both across and within speakers, variation that cannot be correlated to social or demographic factors given the very small size of the speech community. We present new data from a salvage documentation of Tofa, an endangered Turkic language of Siberia, to argue that moribund languages may provide an ideal laboratory to study the interaction of domains in language change. 10 01 JB code tsl.78.10hel 271 316 46 Article 10 1 A01 Johannes Helmbrecht Helmbrecht, Johannes Johannes Helmbrecht University of Regensburg Faculty of Philosophy IV Linguistics and Literature 2 A01 Christian Lehmann Lehmann, Christian Christian Lehmann University of Erfurt Department of Linguistics 01 Ho&#269;ank is a highly endangered Siouan language of Wisconsin and Nebraska which currently is the object of an extensive documentation project at the University of Erfurt, Germany. The paper presents a descriptive investigation of parts of Ho&#269;ank verb morphology and its implications for morphological theory. Ho&#269;ank verb morphology &#8211; in particular the left side of the verbal complex &#8211; reveals cross-linguistically highly unusual and dispreferred patterns which pose a challenge to traditional and contemporaneous morphological theory. Ho&#269;ank verbs show to some degree systematically a&#41; discontinuous stems, b&#41; stem-internal inflection, and c&#41; inflectional morphology which is morphotactically closer to the verb root than derivational morphology. Diachronically, these patterns derive from the lexicalization of mostly derivational morphology or compounding which eventually led to the entrapment of inflectional prefixes, hence creating interfixes. The traditional notions of infixation and&#47;or interfixation cannot account for these patterns in a satisfying way. Therefore, a partly new and systematized typology of affix types is proposed which takes into consideration the results of diachronic linguistics as well as grammaticalization theory. A grammaticalization path from interfixes to infixes is proposed with regard to the Ho&#269;ank data but with relevance beyond this individual case. 10 01 JB code tsl.78.11mir 317 354 38 Article 11 1 A01 Armik Mirzayan Mirzayan, Armik Armik Mirzayan Department of Linguistics and Center for the Study of Indigenous Languages of theWest (CSILW), University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, USA 01 The main goal of this study is to explore some of the phonetic, morphological, and syntactic resources of same-turn self-repair initiation that are available to speakers of Wichita, an indigenous North American language from the Caddoan family. A 28-minute natural conversation between three Wichita speakers is coded and analyzed within a conversation analytic approach. Within this approach the study focuses on <i>same-turn self-repair</i>, a subtype of natural conversational repair process in which an emerging utterance is stopped by the current speaker in some way and is then aborted, recast, continued, or redone by the speaker within the same turn.<br />Wichita is a polysynthetic language with complex morphology and morphophonemic alternations that accompany the formation of phrases and sentences &#40;Rood 1976, 1996&#41;. Conversational analysis research in Wichita &#8211; and in structurally similar languages in general &#8211; is at a very early stage. This pioneering study thus focuses on a form-based analysis that illuminates the possible means for self-repair initiation in Wichita conversation, as well as giving insight into some of the phonetic and prosodic aspects that accompany the self-repair initiations. The study also touches on a few fundamental morphosyntactic issues by considering the nodes within complex Wichita &#8220;words&#8221; where self-repairs are generated.<br />This detailed form-based analysis yields some interesting conclusions about morphosyntactic constraints on self-repair in a polysynthetic language. In particular, the study uncovers what the relationship between conversational repair, syntax, and morphology is and how these facets of interaction and grammar are interdependent &#40;Schegloff 1979&#41;. Furthermore, the results of the study help enrich our general understanding of the function of self-repair in conversational interaction, either in terms of the types of variations that we can expect cross-linguistically or in terms of the generalizations that we can make about natural discourse structure. The discussion at the end of the paper sketches how some of the findings are, or are not, compatible with general results from previous work on same-turn self-repair as outlined by Schegloff, Jefferson, and Sacks &#40;1977&#41; and Jasperson &#40;1998, 2002&#41;. 10 01 JB code tsl.78.12wid 355 370 16 Article 12 1 A01 Thomas Widlok Widlok, Thomas Thomas Widlok 2 A01 Christian J. Rapold Rapold, Christian J. Christian J. Rapold 3 A01 Gertie Hoymann Hoymann, Gertie Gertie Hoymann 01 This contribution emphasizes the role of multimedia data not only for archiving languages but also for creating opportunities for innovative analyses. In the case at hand, video material was collected as part of the documentation of Akhoe Haiom, a Khoisan language spoken in northern Namibia. The multimedia documentation project brought together linguistic and anthropological work to highlight connections between specialized domains, namely kinship terminology, interrogatives and reciprocals. These connections would have gone unnoticed or undocumented in more conventional modes of language description. It is suggested that such an approach may be particularly appropriate for the documentation of endangered languages since it directs the focus of attention away from isolated traits of languages towards more complex practices of communication that are also frequently threatened with extinction. 10 01 JB code tsl.78.13ind 371 375 5 Index 13 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20080911 2008 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027229908 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 20 01 00 115.00 EUR R 01 00 97.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 173.00 USD S 44006992 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code TSL 78 Hb 15 9789027229908 13 2008014319 BB 01 TSL 02 0167-7373 Typological Studies in Language 78 01 tsl.78 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/tsl.78 1 B01 K.

In the case at hand, video material was collected as part of the documentation of Akhoe Haiom, a Khoisan language spoken in northern Namibia. The multimedia documentation project brought together linguistic and anthropological work to highlight connections between specialized domains, namely kinship terminology, interrogatives and reciprocals. These connections would have gone unnoticed or undocumented in more conventional modes of language description. It is suggested that such an approach may be particularly appropriate for the documentation of endangered languages since it directs the focus of attention away from isolated traits of languages towards more complex practices of communication that are also frequently threatened with extinction. 10 01 JB code tsl.78.13ind 371 375 5 Index 13 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20080911 2008 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 01 245 mm 02 164 mm 08 825 gr 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 01 WORLD US CA MX 20 26 16 01 02 JB 1 00 115.00 EUR R 02 02 JB 1 00 121.90 EUR R 01 JB 10 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 GB 20 16 02 02 JB 1 00 97.00 GBP Z 01 JB 2 Casemate Academic 610-853-9131 610-853-9143 Girard.Kratz@casematepublishers.com 01 https://benjamins.com 02 US CA MX 20 16 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 173.00 USD
