Ùa Pou:  Aspects of a Marquesan dialect

PL 533

Marquesan is an Eastern Polynesian language whose nearest relations
according to present subgrouping theory are Hawaiian and Mangarevan.
The literature lists two major dialects referred to as northern and
southern although there are dialect differences from island to island
and also, to a much lesser degree, from valley to valley on
individual islands.  While all dialects within the group are mutually
intelligible, there are grammatical as well as phonological and
lexical differences between the dialects.  The data for this study
was taken from the Ùa Pou dialect and as such is a partial
description of that dialect only.  The Ùa Pou dialect of the
Marquesan language is spoken on the island of Ùa Pou in Te Henua
Ènana (the Marquesas group of islands).
The aim of this study is to provide the following:  an overview of
the work carried out in the field of Polynesian phonology and syntax
in the past 30 years;  a description of the phonemes and certain
suprasegmental features of the sound system of Ùa Pou; and a detailed
description of the internal structure of the Ùa Pou phrase.
