The Series focuses on works about Indonesian and other languages in Indonesia. Malaysian and the local dialects of Malay wilt be accepted, but languaga outside these regions will be considered only In so far as they are theoretically relevant to our languages. Reports from field work in the form of data analysis or texts with translation, book reviews, squibs and discussions are also accepted. Papers appearing in NUSA can be original or traiislated from languages other than English. Although our main interest is restricted to the area of Indonesia, we welcome works on general linguistics that can throw light upon problems that we might face. It is hoped that NUS, can be relevant beyond the range of typological and area specializations and at the same time also serve the cause of deoccidentaliation of general linguistics. Contributions from linguists in the field are solicited. Guest editors are also welcome.

Of the earlier volumes of St 'ks in Sulawesi Linguistics, Part I and Part II (NUSA volumes 31 and 33, respectively) were both edited by James Sneddon, Part and Part Iv (NUSA volumes 36 and 37, respectively) were both edited by Rend Van den Berg, Part V (NUSA Volume was edited by David Mead, and the most recent volume, Part vi (NUSA Volume was edited by Wyn Laidig. This volume presents three papers, each describing aspects of a particular Sulawesi language; Ba. rg- arg in South Sulawesi, sobongko in Central Sulawesi, and Pendau, also located in Central Sulawesi. Each of the languages is an Austronesian language of the West Malayo-Polynesian subgroup. The Sulawesi map on the facing page indicates the approximate location of each of these language groups. The first paper, by Joanna Belding, Wyn dig, and Sahabu Maingak presents a description of Barang-baxang morphology. This paper is the "second chapter" in the clescripti , of ar ng-barang, the first of which concerned phonology and appeared in NUSA " Barang- arang Phonology: A Preliminary Description", by Wyn Laidig and Sahabu Dg. Maingak . Barang-barang is located on the island of Selayar, and is spoken by only one village on the entire island The rest of the island speaks Selayar, with the exception of one village which speaks a Laiyolo (closely related to Barang- bar ng). In the second paper, David Mead presents a first look at the language of Bobongko, spoken in the Togian Islands of Central Sulawesi. This is the only description of this language to date based on field research more extensive than just word lists. David presents a review of the related literature, and then foes on the phonology and aspects of morphosyntax, with particular attention being given to bow agent, patient, location, instnunent, and beneficiary roles are encoded in a system which only partially resembles the focus system used in Philippine languages. The final paper in this volume, by Philip Quick, provides a detailed look at appllcatives and double objects in Pendau. The paper describes four applicative constructions: directional goal, benefactive, directional locative, and instrument. Other topics discussed are idiosyncratic applicatives, semantically increased transitivity, various word orders, and combinations of causatives and applicative affixes. It is hoped that the various articles presented in this latest NSA volume, Studies in Sulawesi Linguistics, Part VU, will prove informative and useful. it has been my privilege to work together with the various authors of these papers as well as with the editorial staff in the preparation of this volume.

Belding SIL International, Dallas, Texas Wyn D. Laidig SIL International, Dallas, Texas Sahabu Dg. Maingak Makassar, South Sulawesi An initial description of Barang-barang morphology is presented. Barang-barang is classified as an Aus- tronesian language of the West Malayo-Polynesian group, and has been commonly (although probably erroneously) sub-classified as a member of the Muna-Buton group. Other than short word lists and an introductory phonological description, neither Barang-barang nor its nearest linguistic neighbors, Lai- yolo and Kalao, have been documented in detail. This initial description of morphology, although lim- ited in scope, marks a significant step forward in our understanding of Barang-barang, and provides data whicl.may help define the position of this language and its linguistic neighbors in relation to the other languages of Sulawesi. 1 INTRODUCTION The language of Barang-barangl is spoken in Barang-barang village, which is located towards the southern tip of the island of Selayar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Other names for the language include the endonym, Loê', and its variations as pronounced by outsiders: Lowa, Loa or Loa'. Throughout this paper, we will use the name Barang-barang for consistency with other published references. There are about 200 people cur- rently living in the village, but it is estimated there are up to 500 speakers. Many families from Ba- rang-barang live in Makassar, the capital of South Sulawesi. The only published work on Barang-barang is a preliminary description of phonology (Laidig and Maingak 1999), and a brief 200-entry word list (Grimes and Grimes 1987). Friberg and Laskowske (1989) conducted a lexico-statistical study of languages in Sulawesi, which included Barang-barang, and their findings showed a sub-group of languages, labeled the Kalao subgroup, made up of Barang-barang, Laiyolo and Kalao.
