  • Social Ecology and Language History in the Northern Vanuatu Linkage a Tale of Divergence and Convergence*
    Social ecology and language history in the northern Vanuatu linkage A tale of divergence and convergence* Alexandre François Langues et Civilisations à Tradition Orale (Lacito-CNRS) & Australian National University This study describes and explains the paradox of related languages in con- tact that show signs of both linguistic divergence and convergence. Seventeen distinct languages are spoken in the northernmost islands of Vanuatu. These closely related Oceanic languages have evolved from an earlier dialect network, by progressive diversification. Innovations affecting word forms — mostly sound change and lexical replacement — have usually spread only short distances across the network; their accumulation over time has resulted in linguistic frag- mentation, as each spatially-anchored community developed its own distinctive vocabulary. However, while languages follow a strong tendency to diverge in the form of their words, they also exhibit a high degree of isomorphism in their linguistic structures, and in the organization of their grammars and lexicons. This structural homogeneity, typically manifested by the perfect translatability of constructions across languages, reflects the traditions of mutual contact and multilingualism which these small communities have followed throughout their history. While word forms are perceived as emblematic of place and diffuse to smaller social circles, linguistic structures are left free to diffuse across much broader networks. Ultimately, the effects of divergence and convergence are the end result, over time, of these two distinct forms of horizontal diffusion. Keywords: language change, language contact, areal diffusion, structural borrowing, lexical replacement, linguistic diversification, historical dialectology, Melanesia 1. Sister languages in contact: Divergence or convergence? The present study examines the processes of divergence and convergence which characterize the historical evolution of a group of closely related languages spoken Journal of Historical Linguistics 1:2 (2011), 175–246.

  • Can Insurance Play a Role? Volcano Risk in Vanuatu: Can Insurance Play a Role? 2 Figure 1: Maps of Ambae Disaster Response, Phases 2 and 3
    MAY 2018 Mount Yasur Volcano on Tanna Island in Vanuatu Credit: Kate Humble/Red Vanuatu Volcano Risk in Vanuatu Can Insurance Play a Role? Overview of Volcanic Risk in Vanuatu Vanuatu has 83 islands, most of which are volcanic. There are total of 16 volcanoes in Vanuatu, of which six are active and ten are dormant. Since the 1600s, the major recorded eruptions resulted in substantial changes to Vanuatu’s land formation and migration. This includes fatalities and permanent resettlements either within the island or to other islands. The most recent volcanic eruptions on record since 1995 are: Manaro Voui on Ambae in 2017, 2005 and 1995; Yasur volcano on Tanna in 2016 and 1998, Benbow and Marum on Ambrym Island and Gaua in 2010 and 2009.

  • Fifth National Report
    FIFTH NATIONAL REPORT Executive Summary Vanuatu is an array of 83 volcanic islands that were formed during the Miocene Era. Her geographical location means that Vanuatu’s biological diversity has developed commonalities with Pacific Island Countries in close proximity such as that of Fiji and Solomon Islands. Vanuatu is fundamentally an agricultural society, where the majority of the population is involved in farm and fishing activities, either for subsistence, livelihood or cash income. The Overarching Productive Sector Policy 2012-2017 also identifies agriculture, forestry and fisheries as priority areas for economic development. In 2013, the Vanuatu National Statistics Office estimated the population of Vanuatu to be 264,000 people, with 75% of the population living in the rural areas. A large portion of the population still depends heavily on the Vanuatu productive sector therefore, the Government has a crucial role to play in defining a policy and institutional framework which both enables and encourages good participation and high performance from all sector stakeholders. The country’s development goals and priorities in the Priorities and Action Agenda (PAA) 2006-2015 identify the productive sector as an engine for investment, economic growth and employment. The sector’s contribution to the overall economic growth has required a strategic commitment by the Government. This is so the Government can support and facilitate an enabling environment for private sector operators. The need to protect and conserve the resources that are critical elements of the productive sector saw Vanuatu commit itself internationally to the Convention on Biological Diversity in the 1992. Since its ratification of this Convention, Vanuatu has made significant progress in ensuring it meets all of its obligations.

    Gryllacrididae and Tettigoniidae (Insecta, Orthoptera, Ensifera) from Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu Sylvain HUGEL INCI, UPR 3212 CNRS, Université de Strasbourg, 21 rue René Descartes, F-67084 Strasbourg cedex (France) [email protected] Hugel S. 2009. — Gryllacrididae and Tettigoniidae (Insecta, Orthoptera, Ensifera) from Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu. Zoosystema 31 (3) : 525-576. ABSTRACT In the present article, the Gryllacrididae and Tettigoniidae fauna of Espiritu Santo Island (Vanuatu) is examined. We took advantage of the examination of the material collected during the SANTO 2006 biological survey to give descrip- tion complements, or to redescribe and/or redefi ne the concerned species and genera. We recorded 15 species in the island. Five are recorded for the fi rst time in Espiritu Santo and in the Vanuatu archipelago. A 16th species, Conocephalus laetus (Redtenbacher, 1891), recorded by Willemse (1925) has not been collected during the survey. Two new Gryllacrididae Amphibologryllacris butmasi n. sp. and Psilogryllacris tchancha n. sp. are described. Amphibologryllacris macrocera (Walker, 1869) is redescribed. Amphibologryllacris poultoni (Willemse, 1925) is synonymised under A. macrocera. Th e two related genera Amphibologryllacris and Nannogryllacris are redefi ned. All Xanthogryllacris punctipennis (Walker, 1869) subspecies recognized by Karny are re-established as subspecies under this genus: X. p. punctipennis (Walker, 1869); X. p. confl uens (Griffi ni, 1909); X. p. erimae (Griffi ni, 1909); X. p. fenestrigera (Griffi ni, 1913); X. p. gemmicula (Hebard, 1922); X. p. keyica Karny, 1925 (n. comb.); X. p. zatricia Karny, 1928. Epacra cyaneoterminata Karny, 1935 is transferred to Amphibologryllacris. Th e song and stridulatory fi le of most Tettigoniidae occurring in Espiritu Santo are described, most of them for the fi rst time: Salomona redtenbacheri Brongniart, 1897; Phaneroptera gracilis Burmeister, 1838; Furnia insularis (Stål, 1876); Ityocephala francoisi Bolívar, 1909; Conocephalus upoluensis (Karny, 1907); C.

  • Situation Report Response Name Tropical Cyclone Donna
    Situation Report Response Name Tropical Cyclone Donna Situation Report 05 Time & Date 18:30 10th May 2017 Reporting period 08/05/2017 – 10/05/2017 Provinces affected Torba, Sanma, Malampa Attachment(s) Situation overview infographic; Torres Islands reference map; NEOC Status Operational Situation Overview Tropical Cyclone Donna has passed out of the Vanuatu region and the National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) gave the all clear on the 9th of May. TC Donna moved in a westerly direction passing north of the Vanuatu group within 50-100km the Torres islands in Torba Province as a category 3 cyclone. It continued west, before turning south, gathering strength to become a category 5 and passed to the west of Sanma, Malmpa and Shefa. TC Donna passed about 200km to the west of the islands of Vanuatu. Preliminary Impact The Torres Island group in Torba Province remains the most affected area, with other areas in Torba less affected. Ongoing assessment of inaccessible areas of Samna and Malampa are ongoing and a full picture will not be known until that is complete. Information available so far is showing modest impacts in other areas. During TC Donna approximately 60 evacuation centres were activated across Vanuatu, sheltering around 2,700 people. These evacuation facilities include schools, churches, caves, private houses, community buildings and other public buildings which were identified pre-disaster. Almost all evacuees have returned to their homes, however, a small number of evacuation centres remain open in Torres and Shefa. Torba Province Preliminary assessments are showing significant damage on the Torres Islands to crops, shelter, water supply, telecommunications and schools.

  • The Mosquitoes of the Banks and Torres Island Groups of the South Pacific (Diptera: Culicidae)
    Vol. 17, no. 4: 511-522 28 October 1977 THE MOSQUITOES OF THE BANKS AND TORRES ISLAND GROUPS OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) By Mario Maffi1 and Brian Taylor2 Abstract: In August 1971 a total of 1003 specimens of Culicidae were collected from 2 little known island groups ofthe New Hebrides, the Banks and the Torres, 637 (39 $$, 12 S$, 148 P, 13 p, 419 L, 6 1) and 366 (46 $$, 3 $<$, 73 P, 13 p, 231 L), respectively. Of 9 species of Culicidae previously recorded, 6 are confirmed. 3 species are added: Culex (Cux.) banksensis, Culex {Cux,) sitiens, Culex (Eum.) Jemineus. The distribution (considerably wider than previously recorded) and the bionomics of the species are presented. Located at the northern end of the territory of the New Hebrides Condominium, and administratively part of it, 2 island groups, the Banks and the Torres, rise from the New- Hebrides submarine ridge and are dispersed over a wide area of the Southwest Pacific: 13°04' to 14°28' S, and 166°30' to 168°04' E. The Banks, the southern ofthe 2 groups, are more scattered and consist of 2 major islands (Gaua, Vanua Lava) and 6 minor islands (Merelava, Merig, Mo ta, Motalava, Parapara, Ro wa) with a total land area of approx­ imately 750 km2. The Torres group is more compact and consists of 5 small islands (Toga, Loh, Tegua, Metoma, Hiu) with less than 100km2 ofland area. There are a few off-shore islets. Except for the reef island of Rowa, the islands are of volcanic origin; however, on some of the smaller islands, particularly in the Torres, there are terraces of coral limestone.
