  • Pronominal Clitics in Tondano (handout)
    Western Austronesian (Western Malayo-Polynesian) languages are categorised as either Philippine-type or Indonesian-type. While distinguishing between them is not always straightforward, there are a number of structural features which have been previously used to categorise each type.
    One generalisation used to differentiate these two types relates to the placement and category of bound personal pronominals. This lecture examines the features of pronominal clitics in Tondano (a Philippine-type language of North Sulawesi) in comparison with the features commonly observed in Philippine-type and Indonesian-type pronominals.
    A seminar presented by graduate student Tim Brickell for the Centre for the Centre for Research on Linguistic Diversity at La Trobe University.

  • Rapid Word Collection and Historical Linguistics
    Dr Ken Manson (CRLD, La Trobe University) on documenting historical linguistics. With the rapid decline in the number of languages and language families, linguists have increased their documentation efforts to gather as much language data as possible before a language’s demise. However, collecting enough textual material and commenting/annotating/glossing to be useful for semanticists and historical linguists is a prohibitive undertaking for an individual, and even more so when there are several languages which have no or limited records.

  • Typology and Areality in the Balkans
    Professor Victor Friedman (Linguistics, University of Chicago) on typology and reality in the Balkans. This talk will contribute to the discussion of how so-called universals (typology) and language contact (areal linguistics) can be used in a nuanced fashion, and without conflation, to account for language change. Features of the Balkan languages not described in standard Balkan linguistic handbooks will serve as examples.
