Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of the Oceanic Languages This brief account of the Oceanic languages is meant as a general introduction to the study of them. It has been written because there is, so far as I know, no general sketch of the family, and books on special groups or languages, are expensive and sometimes very difficult to obtain. It contains little that is original. I have quoted freely from well known writers, but of course the setting in which quotations appear alters to some extent the sense, so that the writers quoted might not approve of my interpretations and are not responsible for them. With this proviso I wish to acknowledge how much my essay owes both directly and indirectly to the writings of Dr. Codrington and Mr. Ray. No doubt I am mistaken on some points, though I hope there are few errors in facts - in the interpretation of facts there may be allowable differences of opinion; and criticisms and corrections will be welcome. Although it is a disadvantage to be far from all libraries, on the other hand I have been able to verify Melanesian words quoted in these pages by an appeal to the natives themselves. My thanks are due especially to Dr. Comins and Mr. Palmer for help in reading through the proofs. Both were able to make many corrections and improvements, the former from his wide experience of Melanesian languages, and the latter from his accurate knowledge of Mota. I have also to thank Miss Coombe and Miss Wilson for reading through the manuscript, and trying bravely, if ineffectually to mend my stumbling sentences.

Volume 2 treats, in great detail and, at times quite innovatively, the individual stages of development of the study of language as an autonomous discipline, from the growing awareness in 17th and 18th century Europe of genetic relationships among a host of languages to the establishment of comparative-historical Indo-European linguistics in the 19th century, from the generation of the Schlegels, Bopp, Rask, and Grimm to the Neogrammarians and the application of the comparative method to non-Indo-European languages from all over the globe. Typological linguistic interests, first synthesized by Humboldt, as well as the development of various other non-historical endeavours in the 19th and the first half of the 20th century, such as language and psychology, semantics, phonetics, and dialectology, receive ample attention.

Vamale is an endangered South Oceanic > Northern New Caledonian language, spoken by around 180 people on the northeastern coast of Grande Terre. This grammar was written as a PhD dissertation, on the basis of 11 months of fieldwork funded by ELDP. The data consists both of elicitation and relatively free interviews, as well as recordings of ceremonial speeches and casual conversations. ELAR contains open-access archive of all recordings and a dictionary, as well as a FLEx database in which many examples can be found in context. The appendix includes three texts, an oral history account of the 1917 colonial war, a traditional fable, and a longer modern retelling of a legend. The grammar intends to give a general overview of Vamale to a general linguistics audience. Its focus on syntax, and comparison with related languages should particularly interest Oceanists and areal typologists. With a dedicated chapter on the community's history and cultural information throughout the book, this account hopes to show the beauty and wealth of both the Vamale language and culture.

This descriptive grammar provides a uniquely comprehensive description of Maori, the East Polynesian language of the indigenous people of New Zealand. Today, the language is under threat and it seems likely that the Maori of the future will differ quite considerably from the Maori of the past. Winifred Bauer offers a wide-ranging and detailed description of the structure of the language, covering syntax, morphology and phonology. Based upon narrative texts and data elicited from older native-speaking consultants and illustrated with a wealth of examples the book will be of interest to both linguistic theoreticians and descriptive linguists, including language typologists.
