ジャーナル フリーThis paper examines Tutuba, a language spoken in the Republic of Vanuatu, and clarifies how speakers choose between three motion verbs: sae ‘go up’, sivo ‘go down’, and vano ‘go across’. After an giving an overview of these three verbs, this paper examines the expression of motion within Tutuba Island, motion within Espiritu Santo island with its secondary urban center, and motion from Tutuba Island to other islands. It is shown that the choice between the verbs is based on oppositions in three categories: (i) physical up-and-down,
(ii) psychological up-and-down, (iii) historical factors. The relationship between the verbs in these categories is analyzed.

ジャーナル フリーThe aim of this paper is to clarify the correlation between form and meaning shown by Japanese spoken expressions employing “-i-drop constructions”, which are produced by eliding an adjective’s Conclusive inflectional suffix and adding a glottal stop to the end of the adjectival stem, as seen in examples such as Dasaʔ! ‘How uncool!’ and Kimochiwaruʔ! ‘How disgusting!’. Syntactically, the -i-drop construction lacks the functional categories of C, T, and Neg, and can be thought of as a type of small clause that forms a root clause, or “root small clause” (Progovac 2006). Semantically, the -i-drop construction “gives vent to” (rather than “communicates”) the speaker’s sensation or judgement at the time of speech, and as such is a construction dedicated solely to “private expression acts” (Hirose 1995, 1997). This study examines the -i-drop construction’s syntactic characteristics and its semantic characteristics, each in light of the other, and argues that the relationship between form and meaning in this case is not an arbitrary one, but rather an organic integration of motivatedness, iconicity, and markedness.

ジャーナル フリーThis study describes the phonetic features of the “central vowel” in Miyako Ryukyuan . Previous studies have not described its phonetic details adequately, although it has been reported that the vowel has cross-linguistically unusual phonetic features such as [s]-like frication and a kind of laminal modiication. his study focuses on the Tarama variety of the language, and I describe the central vowel using two instrumental techniques, namely, acoustic analysis and static palatography.
Previous studies have debated whether the vowel is central or laminal/apical, but the results reported here suggest that it has a double articulation, both alveolar (laminal) and velar (dorsal).

ジャーナル フリーGenerally, Japanese benefactive verb main verb patterns (Type A) and auxiliary verb patterns (Type B) are considered to express the giving and receiving of objects (things) and situations, respectively. This paper shows that Japanese benefactive auxiliary verb constructions (-te kureru/-te yaru constructions), which are said to express the giving and receiving of situations, can be classified into four types of constructions (Types B1α, B1β, B2, and B3). On the basis of this classification, it compares and contrasts benefactive verb constructions [“V + benefactive verb” constructions] in Japanese and three other Asian languages (Korean, Marathi, and Chinese). Finally, as an implication drawn from a contrastive study of these and other languages, it argues that a cross-linguistic implicational hierarchy (Type A < Type B1α < Type B1β < Type B2 < Type B3) can be proposed for the range of construction patterns of benefactive verbs.
