<Articles>Inclusory constructions in Seediq: Reconstruction

Abstract

This paper first examines inclusory constructions in Paran Seediq (Atay-alic, Austronesian) from a synchronic perspective and then compares them to those inclusory constructions in the Truku Seediq and Atayal dialects. On the basis of this comparison, the inclusory constructions in Proto-Seediq and Proto-Atayal are re- constructed as including pronouns (*yami/*yamu in Proto-Seediq and *sami/*simu in Proto-Atayal) followed by a connector (*ka in Proto-Seediq and *ki in Proto- Atayal) followed by an included noun phrase. Further, the description of inclusory constructions in other Formosan languages such as Paiwan, Puyuma, Bunun, and Saisiyat are considered for reconstructing Proto-Atayalic inclusory constructions. As a result, the Proto-Atayalic inclusory construction is reconstructed as an includ- ing pronoun (*yami/*yamu) followed by a connector (*ka) followed by a personal marker (*i) followed by an included noun phrase.

本稿の主眼はセデック語パラン方言(オーストロネシア語族アタヤル語群)の連れ込み代名詞構文を共時的に記述し、かつ通時的に分析を加えることにある。さらにセデック語パラン方言のデータをほかのアタヤル語群の諸方言(セデック語トゥルク方言、アタヤル語スコレック方言、アタヤル語マリナハ方言、アタヤル語プルガワン方言)と比較し、各言語での祖形再建、さらにアタヤル語群での祖形再建を試みる。
