Abstract:

Comprising of more than twenty five percent of the world’s known languages,
the Pacific is considered to be the most linguistically diverse region in the
world. What unifies the region is the culture of storytelling, which provides
a fundamental means for perpetuating cultural knowledge across generations.
The volume brings together linguists, literary theorists, anthropologists and
historians to explore the Pacific peoples’ constructions of identities through
narrative. Chapters are organized under three themes: fine grained analysis at
the storyworld level, the interactional context of narrative telling, and
finally, the interconnections between narrative and cultural memory. The
volume reflects the Pacific region’s rich linguistic and cultural diversity,
with discussions on the narrativization patterns in Australian and New Zealand
English, Palmerston Island and Pitkern-Norfl’k English, Fiji Hindi, Hawaiian,
Samoan, Solomon Island Pidgin, the Australian Aboriginal languages Jaminjung
and Kriol, the Micronesian languages Mortlockese and Guam Chamorros, and the
Vanuatuan languages Auluan, Neverver and Sa.
