Abstract:

These volumes present sketches of the Papuan languages scattered over the
islands of Timor, Alor and Pantar. Together they give an authoritative and
comprehensive overview of the unique and diverse grammars of the
Timor-Alor-Pantar languages, a family of 'Papuan outliers' located at the
western perimeter of Melanesia. While largely undescribed until recently, the
Timor-Alor-Pantar languages are now among the most intensively studied Papuan
families. In this third volume, five new sketches of members of the family are
presented, all written by specialist linguists on the basis of original field
work.
