- W3147363181 abstract "There are various difficulties in evaluating the linguistic problem at hand. Notably, linguistics still has no satisfactory method for determining absolute dates. Moreover, Dyen's recent lexicostatistical work suggests inferences with respect to the early history of the family which contrast dramatically with those suggested by earlier comparative work. However, on the basis of the lines of evidence presently available, it would appear that Malayo-Polynesian languages were already widely distributed in Taiwan, Indonesia, Melanesia and probably the Philippines by 1500 B.C. or shortly thereafter. Subsequent movements within those areas are probably best regarded as local phenomena, although few may have affected number of islands. The most significant movements after approximately 1500 B.C. probably led to the establishment of MalayoPolynesian languages in Fiji, Polynesia, (most if not all of) Micronesia, and Madagascar. The movement to Madagascar appears to have originated in Borneo. The author believes that those to Fiji, to Polynesia, and to most of Micronesia originated in the New Hebrides. Malayo-Polynesian languages were widely distributed in all of the last three areas by 500 A.D. Prehistoric and Early Historic Culture Horizons and Traditions in South China (Continued from page 359) before the Second World War at reconstructing the early culture history of South China as whole, by means of archaeology, was made by R. Maglioni (1952), but his basic dataconsist of archaeological remains discovered in the Hai-feng (Hoifung) and the Hong Kong areas. New attempts have recently been made by Cheng Te-kun (1959), the present writer (Chang 1959a, b) and others (Hsia 1960; Institute of Archaeology 1961). To be sure, any such syntheses must remain in the nature of working hypotheses for long time to come. The available material, however, has rendered possible preliminary formulations of culture horizons and traditions in South China for the period in question, which may serve as possible basis for further research.' The terms horizon and tradition are used in this article in the sense commonly employed among American archaeologists. Their definitions by Gordon R. Willey and Philip Phillips (1958) read as follows: horizon: a primarily spatial continuity represented by cultural traits and assemblages whose nature and mode of occurence permit the assumption of broad and rapid spread; tradition: a (primarily) temporal continuity represented by persistent configurations in single technologies or other systems of related forms." @default.
