ABSTRACT

This article seeks to identify traces of language contact between speakers of Australian languages and speakers of Austronesian languages other than Macassans. I put forward evidence for lexical borrowing into northern Australian languages from Austronesian languages in South and East Sulawesi, Maluku and Timor-Rote, as well as from Austronesian languages of the Sama-Bajau and Oceanic subgroups. Although the evidence is fragmentary, the presence of these borrowings could be taken to indicate a more varied history of contact with Australia than the Macassan-dominated linguistic data suggest.

超越“Macassans”：对澳大利亚北部南岛接触层的推测

摘要

本文旨在确定说澳大利亚语言的人和说除了 Macassans 以外的南岛语的人之间的语言接触痕迹。我提出了从南苏拉威西岛和东苏拉威西岛、马鲁古岛和帝汶罗特岛的南岛语言，以及萨马-巴瑶族和大洋洲亚群的南岛语系的词汇借用到澳大利亚北部语言的证据。尽管证据是零碎的，但这些借词的存在可以被认为表明与澳大利亚的接触历史比以 Macassan 为主的语言数据所表明的更为多样化。
