“…These restrictions have been found in several genetically unrelated languages, e.g., Arabic ( (Greenberg 1950), (McCarthy 1988)), Russian (Padgett 1995), and Javanese ( (Uhlenbeck 1950), (Mester 1986)). Indeed, Pozdniakov & Segerer (2007) argue that such restrictions are statistical universals of language.…”

“…In the domain of phonetics, Maddieson & Precoda (1992) examine the lexical statistics of C-V combinations in Hawaiian and use it as a basis for evaluating phonetic theories of articulatory ease and acoustic salience. In phonology, phonotactics has been used as a basis of classifying unusual segments (Francois 2010), proposing new theories of dissimilation and root co-occurrence restrictions (Berg 1989, Coetzee & Pater 2008, Harlow 1991, Mester 1986, Uhlenbeck 1950, and documenting language-internal pressures that motivate phonological processes (Blust 2007). Recent work on Austronesian languages has even shown how phonotactics impacts morphology, as in how exceptions to the well-known phonotactic pattern of nasal substitution in Tagalog guides novel word productions (Zuraw 2000), or how the phonotactic probabilities of stem-final consonants can be used as a basis for predicting morphologically derived forms in Maori (Jones 2008).…”

“…This coincides with the observation that early Austronesian had a place harmony constraint whereby if, in a C 1 VC 2 V sequence, C 1 and C 2 had the same place of articulation, they also had the same manner of articulation. Under such a constraint p-p, b-b and m-m occur, but p-b, p-m, b-m, b-p, m-p and m-b normally do not (Uhlenbeck 1949(Uhlenbeck , 1950. Clynes (1990) points out that such a constraint applies to Paiwan and probably applied to PAn.…”

Although morphological innovations are usually regarded as important in reconstructing the histories of language families, relatively little attention has been paid to the reconstruction of Proto Austronesian (PAn) verbal morphology, and this paper aims to take a step in this direction. Morphological classes of verbs have been reconstructed for several Formosan languages, and this paper offers a preliminary reconstruction of PAn verb classes, examines the challenges inherent in that reconstruction and offers tentative responses to them. The final section takes a brief look at how the reconstruction of PAn verb classes permits the establishment of morphological innovations and casts light on the subgrouping of Austronesian languages.

“…Other languages with place based co-occurrence restrictions which treat identical consonants as exceptional include Javanese (Uhlenbeck 1949, 1950, Mester 1986 and Ngbaka (Thomas 1963, Mester 1986). …”
