The Point-Line Dimension: A Way Of Looking At Some Aspects Of The Referential System In Indonesian, H. Bambang Kaswanti Purwo

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

From the introduction: "There exist, in Indonesian, certain pairs of forms where, although each member of the pair can be given the same gloss in a language such as English, there is a contrast in meaning between the members of the pairs not easily captured in simple glosses. These distinctions turn out to be difficult to grasp for a person who is not an Indonesian."
