   Nyckelord :Mah Meri; Jahai; prosody; discourse topic; discourse structure; Austroasiatic; Aslian; particles; pitch; duration; Languages and Literatures;

   Sammanfattning : This study has examined how the right edge of a discourse topic is signaled through the use of F0, duration, and particles in the two Aslian languages Jahai and Mah Meri. The goals of this study were to contribute to the knowledge of these languages, compare them to the related Kammu language in the search for similarities that could be applied to Austroasiatic as a whole, and to explore what kind of analysis is possible with a material not collected for prosodic research.

3. 2. Northern Aslian Linguistic Prehistory: Tracing the Effects of Contact

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskap

   Författare :Joanne Yager; [2013]
   Nyckelord :Aslian languages; language classification; linguistic contact; phylogenetic networks; Neighbor-Net; basic vocabulary; Menriq Rual; Languages and Literatures;

   Sammanfattning : This study focuses on the genealogical and contact-based connections among the Northern Aslian varieties, which form one of three subgroups of the Aslian subbranch of the Austroasiatic stock, spoken in Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand. The complex patterns of contact that exist among the speakers of the closely related Northern Aslian varieties coupled with a scarcity of data and a lack of written history give rise to difficulties in the representation of the historical relationships among these varieties using traditional models of language classification.
