dc.description.abstract
This book presents an in-depth linguistic description of Papuan Malay, a non-
standard variety of Malay. The language is spoken in coastal West Papua which
covers the western part of the island of New Guinea. The study is based on
sixteen hours of recordings of spontaneous narratives and conversations
between Papuan Malay speakers, recorded in the Sarmi area on the northeast
coast of West Papua. Papuan Malay is the language of wider communication and
the first or second language for an ever-increasing number of people of the
area. While Papuan Malay is not officially recognized and therefore not used
in formal government or educational settings or for religious preaching, it is
used in all other domains, including unofficial use in formal settings, and,
to some extent, in the public media. After a general introduction to the
language, its setting, and history, this grammar discusses the following
topics, building up from smaller grammatical constituents to larger ones:
phonology, word formation, noun and prepositional phrases, verbal and
nonverbal clauses, non-declarative clauses, and conjunctions and constituent
combining. Of special interest to linguists, typologists, and Malay
specialists are the following in-depth analyses and descriptions: affixation
and its productivity across domains of language choice, reduplication and its
gesamtbedeutung, personal pronouns and their adnominal uses, demonstratives
and locatives and their extended uses, and adnominal possessive relations and
their non- canonical uses. This study provides a starting point for Papuan
Malay language development efforts and a point of comparison for further
studies on other Malay varieties.
