| 概要 | This presentation aims to clarify the durational ratios (DR) of short and long segments in Mele (Imere), one of Polynesian Outliers spoken in Vanuatu, and data collection was conducted in Mele village. Not only short and long vowels but also short and long consonants perform to show grammatical distinctions, in addition to the semantic contrasts. The DR in Mele was found out to be 1.17, and the value will be compared with those of other six non-Polynesian languages. Two other fieldworks were held on Tuvaluan and Hawaiian, and the DRs and linguistic functions of these languages will be compared with this Mele result, such as singular and plural differences and active and passive differences. |
