Abstract:

What can the languages spoken today tell us about the history of their
speakers? This question is crucial in insular Southeast Asia and New
Guinea, where thousands of languages are spoken, but written
historical records and archaeological evidence is yet lacking in most
regions. While the region has a long history of contact through trade,
marriage exchanges, and cultural-political dominance, detailed
linguistic studies of the effects of such contacts remain limited.
This volume investigates how loanwords can prove past contact events,
taking into consideration ten different regions located in the
Philippines, Eastern Indonesia, Timor-Leste, and New Guinea. Each
chapter studies borrowing across the borders of language families, and
discusses implications for the social history of the speech
communities.

Linguistic Field(s): Lexicography

Language Family(ies): Austronesian

Written In: English (eng)
