PL 592
Toqabaqita is an Austronesian, more specifically an Oceanic, language
spoken on the island of Malaita in the Solomon Islands . This is the
first published dictionary of the language, based on the author's work
on the language for over two decades, starting in 1981. The volume
contains a Toqabaqita--English dictionary (nearly 7,000 entries) and an
English--Toqabaqita finderlist.
2008 ISBN 9780858835849 407 pp
Prices: Australia AUD $75.90 (incl. GST), Overseas AUD $69.00
PACIFIC LINGUISTICS is happy to announce the publication of:
*Serial verb constructions in Austronesian and Papuan Languages *

PL 594
This volume of new work explores the nature of verb serialisation in a
range of languages from the Pacific region -- both Austronesian and
non-Austronesian. Serial verbs can be described linguistically as a
sequence of verbs which behave as a single complex predicate. A
particular focus of this book is the detailed examination given by most
authors to the relationship of such uniclausal linguistic structures
with the real world notion of eventhood. The book also makes a valuable
addition to the description and analysis of serial verb constructions
from the Pacific, a region which has generally been under-represented in
cross-linguistic discussions of verb serialisation. The book will appeal
to syntacticians and typologists as well as to Austronesianists and
Papuanists.
Contributors: Louise Baird, John Bowden, Volker Heeschen, David Mead,
Andrew Pawley, Ger Reesink, Miriam van Staden, Catharina Williams-van
Klinken, and Scott Youngman.

The Lexicon of Proto Oceanic: The culture and environment of ancestral
Oceanic society
3. Plants
<http://pacling.anu.edu.au/catalogue/599.html>http://pacling.anu.edu.au/thumbnails/599thumb.jpg
edited by Malcolm Ross, Andrew Pawley and Meredith Osmond
PL 599
This is the third in a series of six volumes on the lexicon of Proto
Oceanic, the ancestor of the Oceanic branch of the Austronesian language
family. Each volume deals with a particular domain of culture and/or
environment and consists of a collection of essays each of which
presents and comments on lexical reconstructions of a particular
semantic field within that domain.
Volume 3 examines the terms that Proto Oceanic speakers used to name
plants and parts of plants. After the general introduction to the
series, Chapter 2 places Proto Oceanic plant naming within its
biogeographic and ethnographic context, Chapter 3 examines its major
plant categories from an ethnobotanical standpoint, and Chapter 4
reconstructs terms for parts of plants. Chapters 5-8 present
reconstructed names of wild plants, organised by vegetation habitat: the
coastal strand, mangrove swamp, rain forest and secondary forest.
Chapters 9-13 investigate the naming of cultivated plants: staple foods,
green vegetables, nut and fruit trees, the coconut and a variety of
cultivated non-food plants.

*A grammar of Klon: A non--Austronesian language of Alor, Indonesia *

Baird, Louise
PL 596
The languages spoken on the Alor archipelago in Indonesia are
geographically the west-most non-Austronesian languages. Klon is one of
these languages, spoken on the west coast of the island of Alor . This
is the first descriptive grammar of Klon, adding to the slowly growing
-- but as yet mainly unpublished -- body of knowledge concerning the
structure of the Alor languages.
This grammar is primarily based on a corpus of spoken texts from the
Bring dialect. Phonetics and phonology, morphology, clausal and
inter-clausal syntax are described, including the pronominal system
which works on an agentive basis, and commonly used serial verb
constructions.
2008 ISBN 9780858835979 258 pp. Prices: Australia AUD $66.00 (incl.
GST), Overseas AUD $60.00
*A reference grammar of Puyuma, an Austronesian language of Taiwan *

he Puyuma people reside in southeastern Taiwan in Taitung City and
Peinan Township in Taitung County . There are still fourteen extant
Formosan (Austronesian) languages in Taiwan , but only thirteen
indigenous groups are officially recognised by the Taiwanese government.
The present study investigates the Nanwang dialect of the Puyuma
language, spoken by the people in Nanwang and Paoshang Suburbs of
Taitung City in southern Taiwan .
The aim of this grammar is to describe the phonology and morphosyntax of
Puyuma. The work is descriptive in nature, and the theoretical framework
employed is Basic Linguistic Theory (BLT), following Dixon (1994, 1997)
and Dryer (2006). BLT emphasis es the need to describe each language in
its own terms, rather than impos ing on it concepts derived from other
languages . Thus, in this study, the author abandons traditional terms
used by linguists studying Philippine-type languages, such as 'agent
focus', 'patient focus', 'locative focus', or 'instrumental focus', and
replaces them with the terms like 'transitive' and 'intransitive' that
are more familiar to most of the world's linguists.
