<div><font face="Mishawaka" size="-2">This volume contains original
contributions by leading scholars in the field of Austronesian
linguistics. All the articles focus on issues in morphology,
with special attention to the interface of morphology with phonology,
syntax, and semantics, from both synchronic and diachronic
perspectives. This work will be of interest not only to
Austronesianists, but to anyone concerned with the ongoing debates
about the role of morphology in linguistic theory.</font></div>

The main objective of this study is to determine the actancy system
(ergativity or accusativity) of Proto Central Pacific, and to
determine how this system developed in its daughter languages, Fijian
and Rotuman, which are accusative, as well as in the Polynesian
languages, some of which are ergative. It is shown that an
ergative system has to be reconstructed for Proto Central Pacific,
based on the presence of two sets of clitic pronouns (Genitive and
Nominative) used for the core arguments of transitive constructions.
A set of independent pronouns is also reconstructed. These
pronominal forms are shown to be reflexes of Proto Malayo-Polynesian
reconstructions. The process by which the ergative parent
language changed into some of its accusative daughter languages is
illustrated.</font></div>

The following points in this work may be of particular
interest: </font></div>
<div><font face="Mishawaka" size="-2" color="#000000">1) a description
of clear cases where the actancy systems change from ergative to
accusative; </font></div>
<div><font face="Mishawaka" size="-2" color="#000000">2) an
illustration of how syntactic, phonological, morphological, and/or
lexical changes are synthesised; </font></div>
<div><font face="Mishawaka" size="-2" color="#000000">3) typological
descriptions of three Central Pacific languages, namely Rotuman,
Fijian, and Tongan, applying Lexicase Dependency
Grammar; </font></div>
<div><font face="Mishawaka" size="-2" color="#000000">4) a
modification to the currently accepted subgrouping hypothesis for the
Central Pacific group. </font></div>

<div><font face="Mishawaka" size="-2" color="#000000">Araki, an
unwritten Austronesian language belonging to the Oceanic subgroup, is
now spoken by less than a dozen people in a small islet of Vanuatu; it
is likely to disappear very soon. As the first ever publication about
this language, the present study covers all that it has been possible
to gather from it.</font></div>

<div><font face="Mishawaka" size="-2" color="#000000">The core of this
book is a grammatical description of Araki: attention has been paid to
its phonology and morphology, the inventory of syntactic categories,
the internal organisation of noun and verb phrases, the semantics of
aspect and mood, complex sentence construction, and many other topics
which illustrate the originality of this language. A bilingual lexicon
is also provided, as well as a selection of texts.</font></div>

<div><font face="Mishawaka" size="-2" color="#000000">Oceania has
traditionally been the 'place' in which great debates about the
human condition have been started, conducted, and sometimes resolved.
The articles in this volume prove once more the vitality of the
research conducted in this geographically vast and culturally varied
area of the world. This book contributes to the investigation of space
as a knowledge domain, in particular to the linguistic, mental and
cultural representations of spatial relationships in Oceania. It
emphasises the significance and usefulness of cross-linguistic and
cross-cultural research, and cultural area surveys. This volume is of
interest not only to cultural and linguistic anthropologists, but also
to linguists and cognitive psychologists, and to scholars and students
of Oceania.</font><br>
