“…More recent studies on phrasal alternation in the Kerinci language are done, among others, by Yanti et al(2018), Steinhauer (2018), andErnanda (2015;2021). Yanti et al (2018) examine the distinct morphosyntactic features in the Kerinci Tanjung Pauh language compared to other Sumatran Malay varieties. They claim other Malay varieties also exhibited the features, but they do not develop as they do in the Kerinci language.…”

“…In the following examples from Sungai Penuh Kerinci (Sumah is absolute, the general one or less specific one, while umoh is oblique, the specific one Previous studies of the Kerinci language have confirmed the occurrence of phonological alternation across all lexical categories of the language. It is characteristic of the three main dialects of the Kerinci language: Sungai Penuh dialect (Steinhauer, 2018(Steinhauer, , 2022, Tanjung Pauh Mudik dialect (McKinnon, 2011;Yanti et al, 2018), and Pondok Tinggi dialect (Ernanda, 2015(Ernanda, , 2017(Ernanda, , 2021. This paper describes phonological alternation in numerals, one of the lexical categories of the Kerinci language, which has been explored explicitly in previous studies.…”

“…The Kerinci Regency and Sungai Penuh City are shown on the following maps (Figure 1). Kerinci language has long been considered distinct from other Malayic languages as the roots from several lexical categories exhibit two (or more) morphological forms (Yanti et al, 2018). These morphological forms are distinguished by the phonological shape of the final time, referred to as Form I and Form I (Prentice & Usman, 1978) or Absolute and Obligue forms, respectively (Steinhauer 2018(Steinhauer ,2022.…”

Kerinci is a Malayic language spoken primarily in Sungai Penuh City and Kerinci Regency, Sumatra which is considered unique as most lexicons have two or more forms, differing in the phonological realisation of their final syllables. These word-final syllable rhymes are referred to as Absolute and Oblique forms since they bear syntactic functions. This paper describes phonological alternation in numerals and their morphosyntactic functions based on data from a synchronic descriptive study conducted in Koto Renah village, Sungai Penuh, Kerinci. The study reveals that most cardinal and ordinal numbers have two or more forms. The last unit of a compound numeral is the absolute form, while all preceding units are oblique forms. The phrasal alternations in numerals lends credence to the view that the Kerinci language is indeed unique.

“…More recently, Steinhauer (2002Steinhauer ( , 2018 has provided rich insights into the sound changes in the Sungai Penuh dialect. Data from the Tanjung Pauh Mudik dialect have also enhanced scholarly understandings of phrasal alternation (McKinnon et al 2015;Yanti et al 2018). Finally, the analysis of the Pondok Tinggi data has made a more general contribution to Kerinci sociolinguistics (Ernanda 2011(Ernanda , 2015(Ernanda , 2017, informing our understanding of the morphophonological and morphosyntactic functions of alternation.…”

Some notes on the Semerap dialect of Kerinci and its historical development

This article investigates the historical development of a hitherto undescribed Kerinci variety, the Semerap dialect, from a comparative Malayic perspective. The morphophonological characteristics of Kerinci languages are unusual within the Austronesian language family. This preliminary study, therefore, pays special attention to the characteristic four-way split of the historical rootfinal *V(C)# in Semerap lexemes: absolute, oblique, K-words, and G-words. Like other Kerinci varieties, the Semerap dialect features a type of phonological word-shape alternation, generally known as "phrasal alternation", which also impacts on its syntax. This alternation (absolute vs. oblique) is determined by the syntactic position of the root, but also by semantic factors. To gain an accurate understanding of Semerap historical development, I also call attention to nonprenasalized voiced stops (G-phonemes), which also influence the realization of the root-final *V(C)#. Finally, an argument is made to take Kerinci varieties into account for Malay historical linguistics more generally.
