The languages of mainland Southeast Asia evidence an impressive array of elaborate grammatical resources, such as echo words, phonaesthetic words, chameleon affixes, chiming derivatives, onomatopoeic forms, ideophones and expressives. Speakers of these languages
fashion grammatical works of art in order to express and convey emotions, senses, conditions and perceptions that enrich discourse. This book provides a detailed comparative overview of the mechanisms by which aesthetic qualities of speech operate as part
of speakers' grammatical knowledge. Each chapter focuses on a different language and explores the grammatical information of a number of well- and lesser-known languages from mainland Southeast Asia. It will be of great interest to syntacticians, morphologists,
linguistic anthropologists, language typologists, cognitive scientists interested in language, and instructors of Southeast Asian languages.<br>

Hi Adam,<br>
<br>
Jaminjung and Ngaliwurru (Mirndi, AU) have an 'epenthetic syllable' (Schultze-Berndt 2000: 99) that is a reflex of a desiderative morpheme, which '[...] is maintained only when the pronominal complex is consonant-final, and hence would have provided a pre-existing
strategy to adhere to a preference for final vowels, avoiding potentially dispreferred consonant clusters [...]' (Osgarby 2018: 271).<br>

Hey everyone,<br>
<br>
I'm asking if anyone has described or found likely cases where some epenthetic segment(s) has/have been exapted from previously meaningful morphology.<br>
<br>
So think of a morpheme that once meant something, becomes semantically bleached, but then acquires a function as an epenthetic element to meet minimality conditions or to avoid vowel hiatus or something else.<br>
<br>
I understand (from wikipedia) that /t/ in French interrogatives comes from habet and could be an example of this and the insertion of /n/ in English after 'a' determiner #vowel is also an example. I'm wondering about more sources on diachronic processes like
these. Also any good sources on the French and English processes would also be helpful.<br>
