In particular, for Australian languages it has become clear that the tools and methods of historical linguistics, in particular the comparative method, are far from useless, and that in fact great advances have been made in reconstructing and subgrouping Australian languages earlier (see e.g. Bowern and Koch 2004 and Evans 2003 for a critical discussion). And the history of Austronesian and Oceanic languages has made giant steps forward in etymological research (see especially Ross, Pawley and Osmond 1998-). The comparative study of the Papuan languages has also begun in earnest in recent years (Pawley 2005a, 2005b). The result of this research has also cast more light on the cultural and linguistic prehistory of the languages of Australia of the Pacific (see e.g. Mailhammer forthc.a). At the same time, the paucity of data and the gigantic time depth (e.g. in the case of Australian languages, see Mailhammer forthc.b) has continued to pose challenges for research.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"'>This conference session would like to invite papers addressing issues in etymology and reconstruction in the languages of Australia and the Pacific.
