Description:DATA SET NAME: Tapaleuk DATA SET DESCRIPTION: Tapaleuk is the name of a column published daily in the Pos Kupang, a newspaper in Kupang. The language is Kupang Malay and they are written by various authors. PROJECT NAME: Tapaleuk PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Tapaleuk is the name of a daily column found on the second page of Pos Kupang, a newspaper published in Kupang, Timor, Indonesia. Paul Bolla, a local journalist, started the column in 1992, which is written in Kupang Malay (also named Bahasa Kupang, Kupang language), a Malay-based creole spoken in and around the city of Kupang by approximately 220,000 native speakers and tens of thousands of second-language speakers (Jacob and Grimes 2006). Tapaleuk is one of the first publications in the Kupang Malay language. The word tapaleuk itself means "walking to and fro without any goal or purpose". (Manhitu 2008). The collected data consists of columns published between December 2005 and June 2006. Each sentence is provided with an interlinear glossing as well as a free English or Indonesian translation. The transcription of the sentences follows the text as is published and some variation in the spelling may occur, e.g. minum ~ minom, kase ~ kasi, banyak ~ banya, bikin ~ bekin ~ beking, batul ~ betul, etc. Kupang Malay is used in print in advertisements, billboards, short text messages, email chats, social media, personal letters. In the beginning of the 21st century a number of publications in Kupang Malay appear and have been made available on the World Wide Web. In 2000 Charles E. Grimes and June Jacob publish a Kupang Malay-Indonesian dictionary. An online version with English and Indonesian translations can be accessed at:http://ekamus2. org/Kupang%20Malay%20Lexicon/lexicon/main.htm In 2002 the first edition of a translation of the New Testament in Kupang Malay is produced by the Unit Bahasa dan Budaya, GMIT (Language and Culture Unit, from the Gereja Masehi Injili di Timor (Evangelical Christian Church in Timor). This can be accessed on the World Wide Web (See http://www.e-alkitab.org/). Please refer to documentation file "Tapaleuk.pdf" for further information. HOW TO CITE: Litamahuputty, Betty and Diana Safitri, 2015. MPI-EVA Kupang Malay Database. A project of the Jakarta Field Station of the Department of Linguistics, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig. ------------------------------------ Jakarta Field Station, Department of Linguistics, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, 1999-2015. From 1999 to 2015, the Department of Linguistics of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EVA), under the directorship of Bernard Comrie, maintained a Field Station in Jakarta, Indonesia, hosted by Universitas Katolik Indonesia Atma Jaya. The Jakarta Field Station (JFS) was headed by David Gil, with Uri Tadmor (1999-2009) and John Bowden (2010-2015) as the local managers, and Bradley Taylor in charge of data management. The MPI-EVA JFS engaged in a variety of projects involving the documentation, description and analysis of the languages of Indonesia. The major focus was on the compilation of corpora of naturalistic speech, while an additional focus involved the development of lexical databases. The largest single project of the JFS was a longitudinal study of the acquisition of Jakarta Indonesian by 8 young children, resulting in a naturalistic speech corpus of over 900,000 utterances. Additional child-language projects studied the bilingual acquisition of Jakarta Indonesian and Javanese, and of Jakarta Indonesian and Italian. Adult-language projects focused primarily on varieties of Malay/Indonesian and other Malayic languages, on dialects of Javanese, and on Land Dayak languages, while smaller projects covered a variety of other languages. The largest corpora are from Malayic varieties of Sumatra (over 470,000 utterances), Malayic varieties of West Kalimantan (over 330,000 utterances), Javanese dialects (over 130,000 utterances), Eastern varieties of Malay (over 120,000 utterances), Land Dayak languages of West Kalimantan (over 100,000 utterances), and Jakarta Indonesian (over 75,000 utterances). While much of the work took place in Jakarta, the JFS also maintained a branch field station in Padang, hosted by Universitas Bung Hatta, plus additional field sites of a more ad hoc nature in locations such as Kerinci, Jambi, Pontianak, Ternate, Kupang and Manokwari. Several of the JFS projects benefited from collaboration with other institutions, including LIPI (the Indonesian Institute of Sciences), the Australian National University, KITLV, the University of Delaware, the University of Naples "L'Orientale", Yale University, and others. Scholars citing MPI-EVA JFS data are expected to provide appropriate acknowledgement. Citations of data from individual projects should be made in the way specified at the project level. Alternatively, the entirety of the JFS data may be cited collectively as follows: Gil, David, Uri Tadmor, John Bowden and Bradley Taylor (2015) Data from the Jakarta Field Station, Department of Linguistics, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, 1999-2015.
