This volume offers a series of investigations into these languages, which are found in an "isolating crescent" extending from Mainland Southeast Asia through the Indonesian archipelago and into western New Guinea. Some of the languages examined in this volume include Cham, Minangkabau, colloquial Malay/Indonesian and Javanese, Lio, Alorese, and Tetun Dili. The main purpose of this volume is to address the general question of how and why languages become isolating, by examination of a number of competing hypotheses. While some view morphological loss as a natural process, others argue that the development of isolating word structure is typically driven by language contact through various mechanisms such as creolization, metatypy, and Sprachbund effects. This volume should be of interest not only to Austronesianists and historians of Insular Southeast Asia, but also to grammarians, typologists, historical linguists, creolists, and specialists in language contact"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 29, 2020). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Austronesian languages|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85009779|xDialects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005549|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Austronesian languages|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85009779|xMorphology.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005557 650 0 Languages in contact|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85074606|zSoutheast Asia.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85008627-781 650 0 Linguistic change|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85077214|zSoutheast Asia.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85008627-781 650 0 Typology (Linguistics)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85139174 650 7 Austronesian languages|xDialects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/821616 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Austronesian languages.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/821614 650 7 Morphology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1026452 650 7 Languages in contact.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 992434 650 7 Linguistic change.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 999167 650 7 Typology (Linguistics)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1160078 651 7 Southeast Asia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1240499 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 Gil, David,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2008070631|eeditor. 700 1 Schapper, Antoinette,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/nb2014022355|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tAustronesian undressed|dAmsterdam ; Philadelphia : John Benjamins Publishing Company, [2020] |z9789027207906|w(DLC) 2020032618 830 0 Typological studies in language ;|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n83715308|vv. 129. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2646617|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
