  Nouns and verbs yet again: new questions in an old debate Much ink has been spilt over the question of whether there are languages which do not distinguish a lexical class of nouns from one of verbs, and what sort of evidence would be required to confidently establish such a situation (e.g. Evans and Osada 2005 and commentaries on this paper in Linguistic Typology 9:3). Austronesian languages have figured heavily in this debate (e.g. Himmelmann 1991, 2004, Gil 1994, 1995, 2001, Mosel and Hovdhaugen 1992, Broschart 1997, and a recent (2017) special issue of Studies in Language on ‘Lexical flexibility in Oceanic languages’, among others). Part of the issue is that «most theories about word classes take for granted a one-to-one correlation between lexical categories and syntactic categories» (Bisang 2011: 293). Himmelmann (2008) notes that the terms ‘noun’ and ‘verb’ can be applied to different levels of analysis: the ontological (e.g. roots referring to objects vs roots referring to actions), the morpho-lexical (classes of words defined by their morphological potential), and the syntactic (the function of an item in syntax as e.g. the head of an argument phrase, a predicate phrase, or a modifier). Because these levels tend to align in European languages, such alignment has been taken as the default for word classes in general. However, as Bisang (2011) and others have pointed out, this is not a necessary situation; for example, Himmelmann (2008: 249) notes that the three levels «are not at all commensurate in a language like Tagalog». Recognising this allows us to take the discussion beyond the question of which criteria can or should be used to distinguish nouns from verbs, and into an area of more general interest both for the understanding of the grammar of individual languages and for linguistic typology and theory: How do these levels of classification interact in the grammar of a language where they do not overlap? For example, how does morphology - inflectional and derivational - relate to lexical classes on the one hand and syntactic categories on the other, when the latter two are not commensurate? And what grammatical means do languages use to identify basic syntactic functions such as predicate and argument when they lack a direct correspondence between such functions and lexical classes? In this talk, I will compare two Austronesian languages - Tagalog, as described in Himmelmann (2008), and the Oceanic language Äiwoo, based on my own descriptive work - and show that these questions have very different answers for the two languages. This illustrates the potential for typological variation in this domain, and points to an area where the study of Austronesian languages can contribute to new insights into the organisation of grammatical structure in the world’s languages.
