Presenter: Mark Alves

This talk presents preliminary historical linguistic observations on lexical data related to pottery (e.g., bowls, cups, jars, to mold (clay), etc.) among languages of Mainland Southeast Asia. The primary data comes from both modern languages and reconstructions of Austroasiatic, Tai, Sinitic, Malayo-Chamic, and Indic (and secondarily, Tibeto-Burman and Hmong-Mien).
