Sommario/riassunto

Almost one quarter of the world's languages are (or were) spoken in the Pacific, making it linguistically the most complex region in the world. This book introduces the grammatical features and semantic structures of Oceanic, Papuan, and Australian languages. It places them in their historical and geographical context, discusses the linguistic evidence for the settlement of the Pacific, and speculates on the reason for the region's many languages. It devotes considerable attention to the effects of contact between speakers of different languages and to the development of pidgin and creole languages in the Pacific.

Sommario/riassunto

Autobiographical Reflections is a window into the mind of a man whose



reassessment of the nature of history and thought has overturned traditional approaches to, and appraisals of, the Western intellectual tradition. Here we encounter the motivations for Voegelin's work, the stages in the development of his unique philosophy of consciousness, his key intellectual breakthroughs, his theory of history, and his diagnosis of the political ills of the modern age. &amp;nbsp; Included in this revised volume is a glossary of terms used in Voegelin's writings. The glossary lists, defines, and illustrates from the author's writings many of the key terms employed, paying particular attention to the Greek terms. Together, the glossary and enlarged index systematically include names, subjects, ideas, writings, and terms, making this volume an indispensable help for any serious study of Eric Voegelin's oeuvre.
