  <div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
    This discussion exemplifies a general problem: We use many terms
    that have very unclear reference, and as a result we don't
    understand each other.<br>
    <br>
    Semantic change is of course familiar from other aspects of
    language, so it's natural that it occurs with more technical
    terminology as well. <br>
    <br>
    But it shouldn't.<br>
    <br>
    The whole point of technical terminology is that it has the same
    meaning everywhere, and there are many standardization bodies. For
    geographical regions, it seems that the most authoritative
    terminology is the United Nations M.49 geoscheme (see
    <a class="m_-6121164802484718119moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UN_M.49" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<wbr>UN_M.49</a>).<br>
    <br>
    According to the UN standard, Oceania includes not only "Trinesia"
    (Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia), but also Australia (and New
    Zealand, which is anthropologically part of Polynesia, but
    politically probably best grouped with Australia as "Australasia").<br>
    <br>
    Thus, if we as linguists want a term that includes Melanesia,
    Micronesia and Polynesia, we should NOT use "Oceania", but perhaps
    come up with something new, such as "Trinesia". ("Pacific" is
    definitely too vague, as it also includes Japan etc.).<br>
    <br>
    Of course, these geographical groupings are not necessarily
    "natural", but mostly based on geographers' traditions, and they are
    fairly arbitrary – this of course reminds me of the term "gender",
    which is also a traditional term that seems to be definable only in
    a somewhat arbitrary way (unless we want to change its meaning and
    thus create even more confusion). It seems that we cannot do without
    such traditional and arbitrary terms, because the world is so
    complex that it does not lend itself to clear natural groupings at
    this level granularity.<br>

                                        a rather Samoan-centric

                                        <li>Can the agent be expressed
                                          as the possessor of the verb
                                          instead of encoded in the more
                                          canonical ergative/nominative
                                          manner?</li>
                                        <li>Can TA markers be entirely
