This book presents an in-depth linguistic description of Papuan Malay, a non-standard variety of Malay. The language is spoken in coastal West Papua which covers the western part of the island of New Guinea. The study is based on sixteen hours of recordings of spontaneous narratives and conversations between Papuan Malay speakers, recorded in the Sarmi area on the northeast coast of West Papua. Papuan Malay is the language of wider communication and the first or second language for an ever-increasing number of people of the area. While Papuan Malay is not officially recognized and therefore not used in formal government or educational settings or for religious preaching, it is used in all other domains, including unofficial use in formal settings, and, to some extent, in the public media. After a general introduction to the language, its setting, and history, this grammar discusses the following topics, building up from smaller grammatical constituents to larger ones: phonology, word formation, noun and prepositional phrases, verbal and nonverbal clauses, non-declarative clauses, and conjunctions and constituent combining. Of special interest to linguists, typologists, and Malay specialists are the following in-depth analyses and descriptions: affixation and its productivity across domains of language choice, reduplication and its gesamtbedeutung, personal pronouns and their adnominal uses, demonstratives and locatives and their extended uses, and adnominal possessive relations and their non- canonical uses. This study provides a starting point for Papuan Malay language development efforts and a point of comparison for further studies on other Malay varieties.

"This volume considers the linguistic borders between a language and a dialect as well as the administrative, cultural, and mental borders that affect the lingusitic ones. The articles approach mental borders between dialects, dialect continua, and areas of mixed dialect, language ideologies, language mixing, and contact-induced language change. Karelian receives particular attention, being examined from multiple perspectives with attention to variation, maintenance, a nd the dialect perceptions of its speakers. Together, the articles compose a multidimensional, multilingual, variable, and ever-changing linguistic reality where diverse borders, boundaries, and barriers meet, intertwine, and cross each other. The combination of the articles also aims to cross disciplinary and methodological borders and present new perspectives on earlier studies"--Back cover.

Govor sela Vratarnica - odin iz južnoslavjanskich govorov, rasprostranennych vok rug serbsko-bolgarskoj političeskoj granicy. Govory, nachodjaščiesja s zapadnoj (serbskoj) storony etoj granicy, tradicionno v jugoslavskoj dialektologii nazyvajutsja timoksko-lužnickim i i otnosjatsja k serbochorvatskomu jazyku, esli ich nositeli opredeljajut sebja kak etničeskie serby, i k bolgarskom u jazyku, esli ich nositeli sčitajut sebja bolgarami. Govory s bolgarskoj storony granicy polučili v bolgarskoj dialektologii nazvanie "zapadnye perechodnye govory bolgarskogo jazyka" [Stojkov 1962: 108-112]. Nesomnennoe genetičesko e edinstvo etich govorov pozvoljaet rassmatrivat'ich (vopr eki složivšimsja nacional'nym tradicijam) ne izolirovanno drug ot druga, no kak celostnoe lingvističesko e obrazovanie ranga dialekta, prinadležaščee odnovremenno dvum nacional'nym kollektivam.
