Abstract:

The Ninth International Conference on Austronesian Linguistics and theFifth International Conference on Oceanic Linguistics were both held atThe Australian National University in Canberra during January 2002. Ratherthan publish a single very diverse collection of conference papers, theorganisers favoured a series of smaller compilations on specific topics.One such volume, on Austronesian historical phonology, has already beenpublished by Pacific Linguistics as Issues in Austronesian historicalphonology by John Lynch.

The present volume represents another such compilation. It contains anintroduction by the editors and ten papers on voice in Austronesianlanguages which provide both fresh data and some new perspectives on oldproblems. The papers touch on the many faces of Austronesian voice systems,ranging geographically from Teng on Puyuma in Taiwan to Otsuka on Tongan,typologically from voice in agglutinative languages in Taiwan and thePhilippines to voice in isolating languages (Arka and Kosmas on Manggaraiand Donohue on Palu'e), and in approach from Clayre's areal/historicalsurvey of Kelabitic languages in Borneo to single-language studies of voicelike Davies on Madurese, Quick on Pendau, and the Andersens on Moronene.Katagiri and Kaufman each take a fresh look at an aspect of Tagalog voice.
