Evidence of contact with Malay/Indonesian in the Enggano language
- Abstract:
- This paper presents evidence of contact with Malay/Indonesian in the Enggano language by comparing a corpus collected by Hans Kähler in 1930s with a contemporary corpus collected as part of an ongoing documentation project since 2018. We demonstrate that Contemporary Enggano has a much higher rate of lexical borrowings and code-switching, and has undergone contact-induced change at the level of phonology, morphology and syntax. We interpret this as evidence of increased contact, reflecting changes in the status and usage of Malay/Indonesian in daily life on Enggano, in keeping with the context of language endangerment.
