Abstract:

Longgu is an Oceanic language spoken on the island of Guadalcanal in the 
Solomon Islands. This grammar is based on fieldwork carried out in the 
village of Bambasu in 1989 and 1991. The grammar provides a description of 
the main areas of Longgu grammar. The focus of the grammar is the 
morphosyntax of the language. Like other Oceanic languages, Longgu 
exhibits complexity in the areas of transitivity and possession and, while the 
sections on transitivity and possession provided here could be further 
elaborated and clarified based on later fieldwork and research on related 
Oceanic languages, the grammar covers these topics in some detail. 

The grammar includes a very brief summary of the phonology of the 
language, and provides an overview of basic clause structure in Longgu. It 
provides information about word classes and describes the internal structure 
of the verb phrase (or verb complex), noun phrase, and prepositional phrase. 
In addition, it describes dependent clauses, co-ordination, and outlines the 
structure of interrogative clauses. Longgu Grammar is an introduction to the 
grammar of the language and reflects an initial understanding of a language 
about which little had been written before this grammar.
