印度-太平洋语系是由约瑟·哈罗德·格林伯格于1971年提出的总语系,目前认为此说谬误。其将新几内亚美拉尼西亚巴布亚诸语言安达曼语系(或至少大安达曼语系)、塔斯马尼亚诸语言结合到一起。格林伯格找到的同源词后来成了范围较小的跨新几内亚语系证据。一般被认为是孤立语言库孙达语(可能还包括其他未分类语言)也被包括进来。[1]:5692–56951971年的原始假设中并未包含“澳大利亚原住民语言”。

假设

[编辑]

印度-太平洋语系假说将新几内亚的非南岛语言与新几内亚东边或西边的特定语言结合起来,首先由格林伯格于1971年作出。支持者Merritt Ruhlen认为印度-太平洋语系是一个内部多样性极大而十分古老的语系,甚至远比反映6000年前的民族迁徙的南岛语系古老。他注意到,新几内亚至少4万年前就已有现代人类居住,有一定冗余的估计还要再加1到1.5万年。[2]路易吉·路卡·卡瓦利-斯福扎则认为印度-太平洋语系是非常多相的语系,内含700种语言,可能老于4万年。[3]

接受程度

[编辑]

格林伯格的假说基于对词汇相似性的大致估计和形态相似性,尚未经过标准的比较法检验,也没有对祖语的构拟。塔斯马尼亚语言已经灭绝了,其证据如此稀少以至于许多历史语言学家都认为它们不可分类。罗杰·布伦奇以该理由反驳印度-太平洋语系假说,注意到它“标榜纯粹的语言学实践...它方便地将一大片地区所有卷毛人群的非南岛语言全放在一起。”他写道,如果不谈对巴布亚诸语言的更深入研究和史前史研究,印度-太平洋语系也是不可接受的,它“只存在于相信者的眼中”。[4]无我(2001)[5]如此回复:

种族观念仍被不加批判地用在语言分类上。晚至1971年,约瑟夫·格林伯格还试图重弹“自孟加拉湾西边的安达曼群岛直到塔斯马尼亚的大部分非南岛语言都属于一个单一的发生学语系”的老调。这个假说跟Finck1909年的“Sprachen der ozeanischen Neger”没什么不同,这个假说已经用了“印度-太平洋”的名字,其最终根植于体质人类学的“泛尼格利陀理论”。(参Skeat&Blagden 1906: 25–28)。 格林伯格为证实印度-太平洋语系举出的语言证据没有说服力,相似的词汇和表面的类型学相似不能说明语言间存在亲缘关系,况且这些还是基于使用者的身体素质。

自格林伯格的工作以来,新几内亚语言主要由斯蒂芬·沃姆研究。沃姆提出的跨新几内亚语系包含格林伯格印度-太平洋语系假说70%的语言,[2]不过其内部结构完全不同。沃姆还认为大安达曼语系、西巴布亚语系(不属于跨新几内亚)和帝汶的特定语言间的词汇相似性“相当地引人注目,近乎同形[...]例子也不算少”,但认为是底层的影响,而不是语言间直接的联系。[6]

Pawley (2008)发现除塔斯马尼亚和安达曼语以外的所有印度-太平洋分支都包含跨新几内亚语系的语言,这可以解释比格林伯格提供的更坚实的同源词。但是因为这些跨新几内亚语言混合了其他语系的语言,连接起各个分支的同源词并不支持格林伯格“所有巴布亚语言都有亲缘关系”的论断。[7]
