The question arises whether these functions are related, or mere instances of homophony; arguments are provided that all of the above functions are in fact connected to one another to variable degrees in   a   complex   web   of polyfunctional   and   macrofunctional   relationships.   These relationships are represented in terms of the following semantic map, in which each of the  18  connecting  lines  can  be independently  supported,  invoking  criteria  such  as  semantic affinity and cross-linguistic replicability:<\/p>\n<p>The  second  part  of  this  paper,  of  a  diachronic  nature,  focuses  on  DO\/GIVE coexpression. Although cross-linguistically rare (4.3% of a worldwide sample of 805 languages),  DO\/GIVE coexpression  occurs  frequently  in  the  languages  of  the  East Bird&rsquo;s Head  and  Cenderawasih  Bay  region,  where  it  is  attested  in  four  different etymons  spanning four  different  linguistic  families:  (1) <em>ve<\/em> and  cognates,  in  Roon,  Dusner,   Waropen   and   Umar (Austronesian)   plus   Yawa   (isolate);<br \/>\n(2) <em>ong<\/em> and cognates,  in  Pom,  Serewen,  Wooi,  Ansus  and Wamesa  (Austronesian);<br \/>\n(3) <em>eita<\/em> and cognates, in Meyah and Moskona (East Bird&rsquo;s Head);<br \/>\nand (4) <em>yai<\/em> (Hatam).<br \/>\nThis paper argues  that  DO\/GIVE  coexpression  originated  in  a  serial verb  construction  in  which the notion of GIVE was expressed by the juxtaposition of two verbs, DO and GO; as the  second  GO  verb grammaticalized  into  an  adposition,  the  locus  of the  GIVE meaning  was  telescoped  from  the  construction  as  a  whole  into  the  first  verb,  DO, resulting   in   DO\/GIVE   coexpression.   Originally   occurring   in   non-Austronesian languages, DO\/GIVE   coexpression   was   adopted   by   the   incoming   Austronesian languages,  where  it  was first  expressed  with  reflexes  of  Proto-Central-Eastern-Malayo-Polynesian <em>*bai<\/em> DO, such as Roon <em>ve<\/em>, before being subsequently replaced, in some Western-Yapen languages, with <em>ong<\/em> and its cognates, probably borrowed from a now-extinct  Trans-New-Guinea  substrate language.<br \/>\nThus,  the  story  of  Roon <em>ve<\/em> reinforces a view of the Austronesian expansion into the Indonesian archipelago and New   Guinea   in   which   language   contact   played   a   central   role, leading   to   the decoupling  of  linguistic  features  from  associated  genes  and  cultural  packages, as  is typically the case in processes such as metatypy and creolization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This paper tells the story of the form ve in Roon, a language of the South [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[88],"class_list":["post-12652","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry","tribe_events_cat-conference","cat_conference"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/web.philo.ulg.ac.be\/linguistique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/12652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/web.philo.ulg.ac.be\/linguistique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/web.philo.ulg.ac.be\/linguistique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/web.philo.ulg.ac.be\/linguistique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/web.philo.ulg.ac.be\/linguistique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/12652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12655,"href":"http:\/\/web.philo.ulg.ac.be\/linguistique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/12652\/revisions\/12655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/web.philo.ulg.ac.be\/linguistique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/web.philo.ulg.ac.be\/linguistique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12652"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/web.philo.ulg.ac.be\/linguistique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=12652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
