Abstract

Some diphthongs in Pagu, rather than being pronounced as a single syllable in a normal/rapid speed of speech, can alternate to appear in two different adjacent syllables when pronounced in a slow speech. In Pagu, the speed of speech affects the words syllable number and word stress placement. The previous study suggests that word stress in Pagu is placed on the penultimate syllable. This paper will discuss word stress placement in Pagu in two different speed of speech (normal and slow) as well as two adjacent vowels as affected by the speed and their position in the word. This sheds a light on the behaviors of two adjacent vowels in the stress placement area i.e. whether they are different vowels they can alternate between a diphthong or two separate vowels in two different syllables and when they are identical they cannot be separated into two different syllables when occur in the final position.

Abstract

This paper discusses two different attributive possessive constructions in Pagu, a West Papuan language spoken in Halmahera. They can be categorized into double and single marking. Semantically, the former construction allows only human possessor, while the latter both non-human and human – with a restricted use for human on the core kinship relations only. The paper also discusses the definiteness of the possessor or possessee in each construction, which I argue result from the familiarity of both the possessor-possessee after being introduced in the discourse. It also allows either the possessor or the possessee to occur alone. The structure of each of the constructions will be presented in the Role and Reference Grammar’s Layered Structure of the Noun Phrase. It will help us see the functions of each possessive marker and the relation between the possessor and possessee.
