GRAMMARS
Veronica du Feu, RAPANUI
A Descriptive Grammar
Based on recordings made in the 1980s and on information provided by
the islanders, RAPANUI represents du Feu's determination to record the
language before it dies out. All linguistic aspects are covered,
including the syntax, morphology, phonology and lexicon of the
language. Just as importantly, the book has been structured in such a
way as to facilitate cross-language comparisons. There are over 800
illustrative sentences, each accompanied by interlinear grammatical
analysis and translation, as well as a Rapanui folk tale, in both the
original and in English. Finally, as a source of vocabulary, this
volume goes beyond any previously available dictionaries.

GENERAL LINGUISTICS
Tony Crowley, LANGUAGE IN HISTORY
Theories and Texts
Tony Crowley uses a radical re-reading of Saussure and Bahktin to
demonstrate, in four case studies, the ways in which language has been
used to construct social and cultural identity in Britain and Ireland.
By bringing together linguistic and critical theory with his own sharp
historical and political consciousness, Tony Crowley provides a new
agenda for language study--one which acknowledges the fact that
writing about history has always been determined by the historical
context, and by issues of race, class and gender.

Peter Muhlhausler, LINGUISTIC ECOLOGY
Language Change and Linguistic Imperialism in the Pacific Rim
Peter Muhlhausler examines the transformation of the Pacific language
region under the impact of colonialization, Westernization and
modernization. In contrast to the traditional portrayal of linguistic
change as a natural process, Muhlhausler focuses on the cultural and
historical forces which drive language change. Using the metaphor of
language ecology to explain and describe the complex interplay between
languages, speakers and social practices, Muhlhausler looks at how
language ecologies have functioned in the past to sustain language
diversity and discusses what happens when these ecologies are
disrupted.
