“…The proposed analysis supports the position of Nevins & Chitoran (2008), Padgett (2008), and Levi (2004, 2008) in positing a featural difference between glides and vowels. 42 Given that both phonemic and vocalically derived glides may appear in the same environment of .CG, as shown in (16), the analysis would be more abstractive if the distinction between derived and phonemic glides is attributed to underlying syllabic affiliation rather than to segmental features.…”

“…In (16a), the vocalically derived glide and the following vowel can be said to constitute a diphthong, while (16b) contains a glide-vowel sequence. Squliq diphthongs are similar to those in Isbukun Bunun (Huang 2008) and Spanish (Colina 2012;Hualde 1997) in that they involve surface glides that come from underlying vowels. 37 The existence of both rising diphthongs and prevocalic phonemic glides in Squliq is complicated by the occurrences of postconsonantal glide-vowel sequences that are to a certain extent unpredictable.…”

“…Later work such as that of Nevins & Chitoran (2008) and Padgett (2008) has argued for employing the feature [±vocalic] to distinguish vowels from glides, in addition to the feature ([±consonantal]), which differentiates glides from true consonants. The [±vocalic] distinction between vowels and glides in models such as that of Nevins & Chitoran (2008) can be directly translated into the feature [consonantal] in work such as that of Hyman (1985):…”

Phonological Patterning of Prevocalic Glides in Squliq Atayal

There is ambiguity regarding how a consonant-glide (CG) sequence should be pronounced in the Romanized orthography of Squliq Atayal. In this paper the phonological behavior of these prevocalic glides in Squliq Atayal is examined in order to determine the nature of the glides. The commonly seen CG spelling in Squliq orthography corresponds to three distinct surface pronunciations: (1) tautosyllabic, (2) heterosyllabic with an intervening weak vowel, and (3) heterosyllabic yet segmentally adjacent. In previous literature only the first two pronunciations have been identified, but it is the contrasting syllabification patterns between (1) and (3) that support the classification of these surface glides into two categories: phonemic versus vocalically derived glides. An examination of morphologically related forms containing glides shows that the perplexing distribution of Squliq Atayal glides results from the coexistence of glide formation, vowel syncope, and resyllabification in the same system, which causes the distribution of phonemic glides and vocalic glides to overlap. The analysis suggests that the two types of glides in Squliq are different in phonological features, although they appear phonetically similar.

“…The changes in livelihood significantly disrupted the traditional social organization of the Bunun. In the traditional Bunun society, governance was carried out by the elders who led and guided decisions regarding tribal rituals, expeditions, and other important matters [30]. However, the shift from traditional cultivation of millet and legumes to rice, which became the primary staple food, led to a gradual disappearance of various traditional rituals and ceremonies [26].…”

“…However, as part of the Japanese relocation policy for administrative The enforcement of the collective relocation policy resulted in profound transformations in the Bunun community's social structure and subsistence patterns [25][26][27]. Historically, the Bunun people sustained themselves through a self-sufficient system of agriculture and hunting, cultivating crops like millet, sweet potatoes, taro, pigeon pea, and various legumes [28][29][30]. However, the introduction of cash crops during Japanese colonial rule fundamentally altered in the indigenous land management practices, daily routines, and ceremonial customs [26,27].…”

Co-Producing an Ethnobotanical Garden to Support the Conservation of Indigenous Crop Diversity

Botanical gardens play a crucial role in documenting and sustaining traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) that were integral to the lives of Indigenous peoples. TEK has gained significant attention in discussions on sustainable development. Faced with threats to the maintenance and transfer of this knowledge, alternative approaches like community-based ethnobotanical gardens are emerging as effective tools for conservation. This paper details a research partnership that focused on storing and sharing the Bunun ethnic community’s TEK to conserve and promote plant and crop diversity. This collaboration further led to the co-development of an Indigenous ecological calendar detailing knowledge about crops, specifically beans. The ecological calendar emerged as an effective tool for supporting knowledge sharing, facilitating the communication of crop knowledge along with both common and scientific names. The Indigenous ecological calendar has also become a valuable tourism resource for guided tours, helping to build recognition of Indigenous knowledge, and making it accessible to future generations.

The syntactic categories of adverbials in Isbukun Bunun

This paper examines the morpho-syntactic properties of elements that realize adverbial meanings in Isbukun Bunun and investigates how its adverbs are syntactically represented. I show that most adverbial meanings are realized as verbs in this language, with only a few adverbial expressions realized as adverbs in the traditional sense. Specifically, the adverbial verbs, just like typical verbs, have to occur sentence-initially, take inflectional morphology and attract cliticization, whereas the genuine adverbs are invariable in form and exhibit relatively free distribution. The paper also presents evidence which bears on the debate concerning the syntax of adverbials and shows that a hybrid treatment is needed in which phrasal adverbs are adjoined to clauses while adverbial verbs are located in strictly-ordered functional projections in the backbone of the clause.
