<span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial, "helvetica neue", helvetica, sans-serif" class="ContentPasted0">In this talk, I will present how I have written a vernacular grammar for a spoken language, Luqa, in the Solomon Islands. Linguists
study and then describe spoken languages using difficult metalanguages that only other linguists are able to read. The community of speakers of an object language provide linguistic data to linguists but they cannot read the highly technical grammars and studies
produced about their own language. Can’t the community of speakers study their own language in their own language? I think they can. But that means their language must be described for them in their own language. I am a native speaker of Luqa in the Solomon
Islands, and I have invented a Luqa metalanguage to describe the grammar of Luqa language so that the Luqa speakers could study their own language. Using that grammar described and written in the Luqa vernacular, I have established a vibrant community language
movement that has been going on for more than 20 years in the Kubokota and Luqa areas of Ranonga Island in the Solomon Islands. Now I am working on a second PhD (Linguistics) to document the vernacular metalanguage. My PhD project titled <strong class="ContentPasted0"><em class="ContentPasted0">Developing
and documenting a system for using the Luqa vernacular as its own grammatical metalanguage, and its use by Luqa speakers to study and analyze their own language in the Solomon Islands</em> </strong>is supervised by Prof Nick Evans.<br class="ContentPasted0">
