  1. Sidwell, Paul; Alves, Mark (Ed.)
    How Sora uses older morphology of prefixation, infixation and reduplication to create more than two dozen forms that mean 'invisible'. The morphology is largely old and inherited from Austroasiatic.

  2. Sidwell, Paul; Alves, Mark (Ed.)
    Sora uses prefixes, infixes, suffixes and reduplication to create at least two dozen different forms that mean 'invisible'. Most of these elements are old in the Austroasiatic language family and speak to the derivational flexibility that was likely once possible in the Austroasiatic proto-language.

  9. Alves, Mark; Sidwell, Paul. (Ed.)
    This is the first-ever study of prosodic structure of the Santali spoken in Assam. It is revealed that this language is strongly second-syllable prominent in uninflected disyllables. This data is then compared with varieties of Sora spoken in both Assam and Odisha and it is revealed that the two languages share almost all of the same properties in this regard. The only node in the Munda language tree that unites Santali and Sora is the Proto-Munda node. It is then suggested that second syllable prominence is the likely system that characterized Proto-Munda and that both of the attested modern languages retained this feature to the present. This is counter to what has been previously claimed in the literature. Our study however offers both instrumental phonetics analysis as well as statistical analysis in support of these claims, unlike previous studies which have been impressionistic and anecdotal.
