<p class="Postext"><font color="#000000"><span lang="EN-US">With about
106 vernacular languages for
234,000 inhabitants, the Republic of Vanuatu hosts the world's highest
linguistic
density <i style="">per capita</i> (Crowley 2000).
All these languages belong to the Oceanic branch of the Austronesian
family. Except
for three Polynesian outliers, the country's vernacular languages have
been tentatively
assigned a common ancestor below Oceanic, namely <i style="">Proto
Southern Oceanic</i> (Lynch 2000). In other terms, the linguistic
density observed today, rather than resulting from any deep-level
genetic
diversity, reflects three millennia of <i style="">in situ</i>
language diversification from a common ancestor. The result today is a
mosaic
of languages showing both a strong unity in parts of their systems, and
a
rather impressive diversity in many other respects. Finally, the modern
era has
also seen the emergence of the pidgin/creole Bislama, today the
national
language of Vanuatu, with an identity of its own.</span></font></p>
<p class="Texte"><font color="#000000"><span lang="EN-US">Since the
lexical surveys conducted by Tryon (1976), the last
three decades have seen a steady increase in the number and quality of
studies
dedicated to the languages of the Vanuatu archipelago. Areas which used
to be poorly
known have been the object of descriptive endeavours, both by
distinguished
scholars and by a younger generation of doctoral and postdoctoral
students. While
the number of linguists working on Vanuatu is still lower than the
number of
its languages, it has become significant enough to justify a meeting of
its
own, with the hope to strengthen the ties between scholars of various
horizons
and generations.</span></font></p>

to
convene a workshop of linguists working on the languages of Vanuatu,
during
three days 21-23 October 2011. </span></font></p>

on the NSW coast; this is a drive of about 2h30 from Canberra, and 3h40
from
Sydney. The campus enables accommodation for about 20‑25 people.<br>

<p class="Texte"><font color="#000000"><span lang="EN-US">Our limited
budget will not allow us to help
participants with transport or accommodation. This will be a
self-funded event,
i.e. costs for transport, accommodation and petrol will have to be
paid by the
participants. However, based on experience, these costs should be
reasonably
low (e.g., accommodation in Kioloa costs 30 AUD /person /night in a
shared
bedroom). Food will be provided on a self catering basis. </span></font></p>
<p class="Texte"><font color="#000000"><span lang="EN-US">Transport
options from Canberra to Kioloa will
be proposed to participants coming from the capital. Overseas
participants
flying through Sydney may want to share costs by arranging transport
directly
from there; we can facilitate the organisation of these aspects. The
plan is to
get to Kioloa on the Friday (21 Oct) noon, and leave on the Sunday
afternoon, so as to get back to Canberra in the evening. Depending on
the
number of participants, we hope to have a flexible schedule, with time
for
papers and discussions, as well as relaxing moments,<i style="">
