Sundanese nominal groups: A textual grammar
Yaegan Doran
The Australian Catholic University
This talk considers the nominal group in Sundanese, a Malayo-Polynesian
language of West Java, Indonesia. In particular, it builds a meaning-based
description of Sundanese nominal groups, focusing in particular on textual
meaning. Born of educational concerns associated with literacy programs, this
talk describes the nominal group not only in terms of the formal syntagms at
play, but also their functions; not only the paradigmatic choices that are
available, but how they are taken up in text; and not only the grammar by
itself, but how it realises meanings in discourse. The aim is to develop a
richly co-textualised and metafunctional description of Sundanese nominal
groups that can explain text patterns from a range of genres and registers.
