Abstract

The article "Voice in Land Dayak Languages" published in Oceanic Linguistics explores the voice typologies of languages spoken in Borneo, focusing on five Land Dayak languages: Beaye, Ba'aje, Banyaduq, Bekati', and Ribun. These languages exhibit a two-way voice system with limited morphological affixation, relying on word order and preverbal analytic markers to differentiate subject arguments. The study reveals variations in voice profiles among these languages, suggesting a broader definition of Central Bornean-type voice to include the diversity found in Land Dayak languages. The research contributes to understanding the complexity and variation of voice systems in Austronesian languages spoken in Borneo. [Extracted from the article]
