Prosodic Patterns in Ramari Hatohobei
This dissertation uses raw data of Ramari Hatohobei or Tobian (ISO 639-3 tox), an endangered Micronesian language, archived at the Endangered Languages Archive (ELAR) for the description of its prosodic patterns. The primary aim is to contribute to the description of Tobian and fill the gap in Regh’s (1993) paper on Proto-Micronesian prosody. A secondary aim is to identify the extent to which archived data could be useful for linguistic description and in particular for the analysis of prosody. In the first part, a discussion on the role of language archives is presented with some background information on Tobian and Micronesian prosody. The second part describes the methodology used for the description of Tobian prosodic patterns, while in the third part, the analysis and results of the prosodic patterns in Tobian are presented, followed by a discussion on the usefulness and quality of the particular collection. In the concluding remarks, some ideas for future research are introduced.
