The Bukawa language is an Austronesian language which is spoken by coastal inhabitants of the Huon Peninsula in the Morobe Province of Papua New Guinea. The Bukawa villages are all situated on the coastal plain of the Huon Peninsula. This book represents an analysis of the grammar of the Bukawa language of Papua New Guinea, based upon data accumulated over a thirteen year period during which the author lived and worked with members of the language group doing Bible translation and literary work.

This handbook offers an in depth and comprehensive state of the art survey of the linguistic domains of modality and mood. An international team of experts in the field examine the full range of methodological and theoretical approaches to the many facets of the phenomena involved. Following an opening section that provides an introduction and historical background to the topic, the volume is divided into five parts. Parts 1 and 2 present the basic linguistic facts about the systems of modality and mood in the languages of the world, covering the semantics and the expression of different subtypes of modality and mood respectively. The authors also examine the interaction of modality and mood, mutually and with other semantic categories such as aspect, time, negation, and evidentiality. In Part 3, authors discuss the features of the modality and mood systems in five typologically different language groups, while chapters in Part 4 deal with wider perspectives on modality and mood: diachrony, areality, first language acquisition, and sign language. Finally, Part 5 looks at how modality and mood are handled in different theoretical approaches: formal syntax, functional linguistics, cognitive linguistics and construction grammar, and formal semantics.

This book investigates the existential clause (EC) from a cross-linguistic perspective and within the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics. The prototypical EC in the less familiar languages is identified through its functional equivalents in the more familiar ones, which share the common semantic basis of ‘there exists something in some location’. Topics addressed include the morpho-syntactic features of the EC, the subject of the EC, the definiteness effect and its manifestations in the EC, the EC as impersonals, the distinction between entity- vs. event-existentials, and the EC and its related constructions. Drawing on both cross-linguistic observations based on the language sample and in-depth investigations in particular languages (e.g., in Chinese and English), the study aims to unravel how the lexico-grammar of EC is related to its meanings and functions, that is, how meaning is realised in form. The title will appeal to scholars and students in the field of linguistics, especially functional linguistics, and syntax.

The main aims of this work are to establish the status of the Austronesian languages of the Markham Valley and its hinterland and of the upper Ramu Valley in Papua New Guinea, in relation to other languages of the Oceanic group, and to delineate their sub-groupings. Descriptions of the phonologies and morphosyntactic systems are provided as the basis for the comparative analysis. A reconstruction of the history of these languages is attempted, using the available linguistic, historical, social and geographical information. The comparative method is used to investigate the relationships between these languages. The material for the study consists of phonological, rnorphosyntactic and lexico-semantic data collected by the writer in the field. Sociolinguistic, cultural and oral historical information was also collected and used as supplementary evidence. Chapter 1 introduces the topics for investigation and outlines the conventions used in the thesis. In Chapter 2 are presented some theoretical considerations, a review of previous work on Markham languages, and an outllne of the methodology used fn data collection and analysis. Chapter 3 presents the Markham language communities in their geographical and social context. The social background of the societies is given in some detail because the languages and their history cannot be considered apart from this social context. The main linguistic data upon which this work is based is presented in Chapter 4 Phonology, and Chapter 5 Morphosyntax. In Chapter 4 are brief phonological sketches of each of the Markham languages. After a discussion of previous reconstructions of Proto Oceanic and Proto Huon Gulf, a reconstruction of the phonology of Proto Markham is outlined, and supporting evidence for the reconstructions is given. Chapter 5 consists of analyses, comparisons and reconstructions of aspects of the Markham languages' morphosyntax. In Chapter 6 the comparisons and contrasts presented in the previous two chapters are drawn together, and the evidence for the internal unity and genetic relationship of the Markham languages is given in detail. Hypotheses about the sub-grouping of the languages are outlined, and evidence supporting these hypotheses is presented. Chapter 7 concludes the study with a summary of the findings. The evidence supports the proposition that the Markham languages form an internally consistent, genetically related unit which is descended from Proto Oceanic, through Proto Huon Gulf. It consists of three groups - Upper Markham, Watut and Lower Markham, of which the Upper Markham and Lower Markham groups are further divided into several sub-groupings. The history of the Markham languages is outlined, and evidence supporting this scenario is provided from linguistics, from oral histories, cultural data and geographical sources.

The series builds an extensive collection of high quality descriptions of languages around the world. Each volume offers a comprehensive grammatical description of a single language together with fully analyzed sample texts and, if appropriate, a word list and other relevant information which is available on the language in question. There are no restrictions as to language family or area, and although special attention is paid to hitherto undescribed languages, new and valuable treatments of better known languages are also included. No theoretical model is imposed on the authors; the only criterion is a high standard of scientific quality.
