Its twenty or so languages are spoken on the islands of Alor and Pantar, located just north of Timor, in eastern In- donesia. Together with the Papuan languages of Timor, they make up the Timor-Alor-Pantar family. The languages average 5,000 speakers and are under pressure from the local Malay variety as well as the national lan- guage, Indonesian. This volume studies the internal and external linguistic history of this interesting group, and showcases some of its unique typological features, such as the preference to index the transitive patient-like argument on the verb but not the agent-like one; the extreme variety in morphologi- cal alignment patterns; the use of plural number words; the existence of quinary numeral systems; the elaborate spatial deictic systems involving an elevation component; and the great variation exhibited in their kinship systems. Unlike many other Papuan languages, Alor-Pantar languages do not ex- hibit clause-chaining, do not have switch reference systems, never suffix subject indexes to verbs, do not mark gender, but do encode clusivity in their pronominal systems. Indeed, apart from a broadly similar head-final syntactic profile, there is little else that the Alor-Pantar languages share with Papuan languages spoken in other regions. While all of them show some traces of contact with Austronesian languages, in general, borrow- ing from Austronesian has not been intense, and contact with Malay and Indonesian is a relatively recent phenomenon in most of the Alor-Pantar region. 410 0$aStudies in diversity linguistics ;$v3. 606 $aAlor-Pantar languages 606 $aAlor-Pantar languages$xHistory 606 $aTypology (Linguistics) 610 $aelevationals 610 $aalor-pantar languages 610 $acomparative linguistics 610 $apapuan languages 610 $atypology 610 $alinguistics 610 $anumeral systems 610 $aAbui language 610 $aAdang language 610 $aAlor?Pantar languages 610 $aBlagar language 610 $aParallel and cross cousins 610 $aTeiwa language 610 $aWersing language 610 $aWestern Pantar language 610 $aWoisika language 615 0$aAlor-Pantar languages. 615 0$aAlor-Pantar languages$xHistory. 615 0$aTypology (Linguistics). 676 $a499.12 700 $aKlamer$b Marian$4auth$0802843 702 $aKlamer$b Margaretha Anna Flora 712 02$aAlor-Pantar Languages: Origin and Theoretical Impact (Project) 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910135395603321 996 $aThe Alor-Pantar languages$93360671 997 $aUNINA
