    Hi Hedvig,<br class="">
    <br class="">
    in Gil (2015) I define a Mekong-Mamberamo area extending from
    Mainland Southeast Asia through the Indonesian archipelago and into
    western new Guinea, characterized by 17 features which I've listed
    below.  In the final section of the paper, I briefly discuss the
    extent to which these 17 features "overflow" from the
    Mekong-Mamberamo area into Oceania, due to the spread of
    Austronesian languages from New Guinea into the Pacific.  So you may
    wish to follow up on this and examine the extent to which the
    languages of Oceania exhibit these features.<br class="">

                interesting grammatical typological features for
                capturing the diversity of Oceania? I sent this message
                earlier to the mailing list for pacific linguistics, but
                I thought I'd try here as well since I didn't get any
                response there yet.</p><p class="m_5279137942271857238m_1554752280181880654gmail-p1">I work with a
                grammatical survey of the world's languages, Grambank,
                and I'm also personally interested in Oceania in
                particular for my PhD project. I've been doing some
                thinking as to what features would be interesting to
                cover to more accurately capture the grammatical
                diversity of Oceania in particular, besides the feature
                set that we already have for the world-sample.</p><p class="m_5279137942271857238m_1554752280181880654gmail-p1">One guide are the
                features that Reesink, Dunn et al used in their
                publications on Sahul and Melanesia (see attachments and
                references listed below).  They've taken in input from a
                lot of previous literature and commentary, so it's a
                good set.</p><p class="m_5279137942271857238m_1554752280181880654gmail-p1">Besides those, do
                you have other suggestions?</p><p class="m_5279137942271857238m_1554752280181880654gmail-p1">From a rather
                Samoan-centric perspective, I'd be inclined to add
                features like these:</p>
              <ul class="">
                <li class="">Is there a "neutral" choice in attributive
                  possession, i.e. not alienable/inalienable,
                  dominant/subordinate?</li>
                <li class="">Can the agent be expressed as the possessor of the
                  verb instead of encoded in the more canonical
                  ergative/nominative manner?</li>
                <li class="">Can TA markers be entirely dropped in main clauses?</li>
                <li class="">Is number of absolute arguments expressed by
                  reduplication on the verb?<br class="">
                </li>
              </ul><p class="m_5279137942271857238m_1554752280181880654gmail-p1">Clearly these
                need further refinement, I just wanted to give some
                examples. Looking forward to more suggestions!</p><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;" class=""><font face="arial,
