Characteristic of many of the Oceanic languages of the Pacific is the
presence of several valency-changing devices. This work is an
historical study of three valency-increasing and two
valency-decreasing morphemes, presenting descriptions of their
reflexes in a number of modern Oceanic languages and a detailed
reconstruction of their forms and functions in the ancestor language,
Proto Oceanic. The reconstructions of valency-changing devices is
presented within of an analysis of morphosyntactic classes of verbs,
both in the modern languages and in Proto Oceanic.</font></div>

<div><font size="-2" color="#000000">The Paiwan are one of the
indigenous ethnolinguistic minority groups of Taiwan. Their language
is a member of the vast Austronesian language family, and belongs to
its northernmost and most ancient subgroup.</font></div>
<div><font size="-2" color="#000000"><br>
This volume presents a collection of one hundred texts in the Paiwan
language. The first seventy-four texts were collected by two
Japanese anthropologists, Naoyoshi Ogawa and Erin Asai, before the
Second World War, and the remaining twenty-six were collected by one
of the co-authors of this volume, Reverend John Whitehorn, from
England, when he was working with the Presbyterian church in the
Paiwan area in the early 1950s.</font></div>
<div><font size="-2" color="#000000"><br>
Chapter 1 gives some introductory background to the Paiwan language,
and to the text collection. The interlinearised texts are
given in Chapter 2, and are followed by a concordance (Chapter 3),
which gives all Paiwan morphemes with their glosses and an exhaustive
list of references to their location in the texts. Chapter 4 is
a reversal or finder list, which gives an alphabetical list in English
of all glosses, with their Paiwan forms.</font></div>
<div><font size="-2" color="#000000"><br>
An early sketch grammar of the language by John Whitehorn is also
included as an appendix.</font></div>
