DESCRIPTION:Austronesian symmetrical voice languages have typically been 
 classified into two groups\, namely Philippine- and Indonesian-type lang
 uages\, a distinction made on purely typological grounds. While the form
 er are viewed as more conservative\, similarities within the latter are 
 attributed to shared innovations. Nevertheless\, as noted by Himmelmann 
 (2002)\, in contrast to the relatively homogeneous Philippine type\, Ind
 onesian-type is often used as an umbrella term encompassing all kinds of
  non-Philippine characteristics\, resulting in a vague category defined 
 by exclusion. This is especially apparent in transitional areas such as 
 Borneo\, where one can encounter both types forming a heterogeneous typo
 logical continuum. While the transitional nature of areas such as Borneo
  and Sulawesi has long been noted\, a systematic investigation of these 
 areas is still pending. This talk addresses this gap by means of a typol
 ogical survey of the languages of Borneo. We gathered grammatical data f
 rom 44 Bornean languages with regard to the voice system\, morphology\, 
 NP markers\, and sets of pronouns\, among others.\nThe results confirm t
 he transitional status of Bornean languages\, with some of them not clea
 rly fitting the description of a symmetrical voice system. The main find
 ing is that\, although most languages have not preserved all typical Phi
 lippine conservative traits\, they have not yet developed many of the in
 novations that define prototypically Indonesian-type languages\, the mai
 n outliers being Malayic languages\, which closely resemble Indonesian i
 n this respect. Conversely\, Philippine traits are mostly restricted to 
 Sabahan and North Sarawakan languages.\nBy means of a series of typologi
 cal maps\, we present an overview of the geographical distribution of ea
 ch feature. We then discuss how these findings can provide new insights 
 into the diachronic development of the Indonesian type as well as help f
 urther identify its defining features and the languages that conform to 
 it.\n
