<p class="Cataloguepara"><span style=""> </span>This
book is a grammar of Pendau, an Austronesian language spoken by around
four
thousand people in north-central <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city
w:st="on">Sulawesi</st1:city>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Indonesia</st1:country-region></st1:place>.
Pendau
belongs to the Tomini-Tolitoli subgroup, and this book is the first
comprehensive decription of any of these languages. The Tomini-Tolitoli
languages are of interest to typologists in general and more
specifically to
Austronesianists, since the languages appear to be transitional between
better
known ‘Philippine style’ languages and ‘Indonesian style’ languages.
Intricate
rules of vowel harmony in the prefixes used to form verb stems are of
particular interest. The grammar is very richly exemplified and covers
a wide
range of linguistic phenomena from phonetics and phonology through to
cohesion
and prominence in discourse as well as an analysis of the discourse
structure
of a number of different genres. </p>
