Jirvaren: Two stories -- $tReferences 330 $aThe book presents a description of Unua, one of two dialects of Unua-Pangkumu, an Oceanic language of Malakula Island, Vanuatu. Unua has about 700 speakers who are bilinguals using Unua in local interactions and using the national language, Bislama, non-locally, as well as in local public and religious settings. The description is based on material collected in the field from speakers of different age-groups in the five Unua villages. The data corpus includes a substantial body of material: contemporary translations of the New Testament gospels; audio-recorded transcribed and glossed texts; and elicited material collected with a range of speakers. The analysis includes comparisons with other Malakula languages and is both of typological and historical-comparative interest. The data documentation is substantial and detailed. 410 0$aPacific linguistics ;$v647. 606 $aUnua language$xGrammar 606 $aEndangered languages$zVanuatu$zMalekula 607 $aMalekula (Vanuatu)$xLanguages 610 $aEndangered Languages. 610 $aOceanic Languages. 610 $aVanuatu, Malakula. 615 0$aUnua language$xGrammar. 615 0$aEndangered languages 676 $a490 700 $aPearce$b Elizabeth$f1942-$01678814 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826805903321 996 $aA grammar of Unua$94046695 997 $aUNINA
