--GRAMMAR OF TAWALA--
EZARD, Bryan A. Grammar of Tawala: An Austronesian Language of the Milne
Bay Area; Papua New Guinea.
1997, ISBN 0 85883 458 8, xvi+320pp. Softcover.
A$59.60
Pacific Linguistics catalogue number, C-137. Key words: Austronesian

non-verbal clauses.
This volume presents a grammar of the Tawala language. Tawala is a
radically head-marking language and this grammar takes explicit account of
attendant analytic issues. Considerable attention is also given to
derivation which, in Tawala, is a function of the grammar rather than the
lexicon. Also a holistic model of the clause accounts for both verbal and
non-verbal construction.
