Course Syllabus

Abstract

This course is dedicated to linguistic features of Austronesian languages from a typological perspective. The main focus of the course is on Indonesian language. We will discuss which linguistic features of Indonesian are typologically common and which are rare or challenging to the typologists. Apart from Standard Indonesian, we will discuss various dialects, their differences from the standard language and typologically uncommon features they have. Other Austronesian languages can add to our understanding of linguistic features of Indonesian, so they will be discussed as well. The goal of this course is to give a broader typological perspective on Indonesian language and to familiarize the students with linguistic literature on Austronesian languages.
