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.Pacific Languages Language artsAustronesian languagesLanguage arts.Austronesian languages.499Lynch John137422NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910476844403321Pacific Languages2006316UNINA
