我们考察了印度尼西亚东部三种密切相关的语言--阿洛尔-潘塔尔语Abui、Kamang和Teiwa的指称属性和词汇规定的作用。我们的重点是事件属性(如意志性、情感性)在一个极端非常重要,或者在另一个极端几乎不起作用的连续体。这些语言在这个连续体中占据了不同的位置。在ABUI中,事件语义的作用最大,而在台瓦语中,事件语义的作用最小(词汇属性生命性在动词类的形成中占主导地位)。卡曼则居于中间地位。Teiwa将动词与其类别之间的关系常规化,沿着有生命的路线,使类别与给定类别中的动词通常与之一起出现的对象的生命值相关联。与事件属性相比,关注像Animacy这样的词汇属性意味着出现任意类的可能性更大。
We examine the role of referential properties and lexical stipulation in three closely related languages of eastern Indonesia, the Alor-Pantar languages Abui, Kamang, and Teiwa. Our focus is on the continuum along which event properties (e.g. volitionality, affectedness) are highly important at one extreme or play virtually no role at the other. These languages occupy different points along this continuum. In Abui, event semantics play the greatest role, while in Teiwa they play the smallest role (the lexical property animacy being dominant in the formation of verb classes). Kamang occupies an intermediate position. Teiwa has conventionalised the relation between a verb and its class along the lines of animacy so that classes become associated with the animacy value of the objects with which the verbs in a given class typically occur. Paying attention to a lexical property like animacy, in contrast with event properties, has meant greater potential for arbitrary classes to emerge.
