JUST PUBLISHED: Charlotte Hemmings, 'Information structure and syntactic choices in Kelabit'

In this chapter just published in Bethwyn Evans , Åshild Næss, and Jozina Vander Klok (eds), Prominence in Austronesian (De Gruyter Mouton 2024), Charlotte Hemmings draws on the work she has been carrying out since 2013 with speakers of Kelabit, a Western Austronesian language spoken in Sarawak. In this chapter, she explores how information structure interacts with three syntactic choices — which voice construction to use; within each voice construction, which word order to use; and in the voice construction called “undergoer voice”, which case-marking to use for the actor. Congratulations, Charlotte!
