I locate the analysis within the literature on possession in the Oceanic language family broadly, seeking to understand how the synchronic system re- lates to both typological understandings within the family, and the possessive system recon- structed for Proto Oceanic. Drawing on a corpus of communicative and elicited language as evidence, I demonstrate that Larevet displays many features of a canonical Oceanic language, and that where changes have occurred, these align well with observations of possession in related languages of Malakula. Keywords: Malakula, Larevet, Possession, Oceanic, Alienability 1. Introduction The Larevet language (also referred to as Laravat, Larë vat and Larevat) is spoken in a village of the same name, on the northwestern coast of Malakula Island in Vanuatu. Unpublished data from the 2009 census puts the population of Larevet at 244.1 The village is gradually transitioning to Bislama as the dominant language of communication. The community is in- volved in the early phases of a long-term language documentation project, and I have under- taken brief periods of field work with Larevet speakers from 2013 onwards.

ALEXANDRE FRANÇOIS Laboratoire Langues et Civilisations à Tradition Orale (LACITO), Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Paris [email protected] The posthumous publication of these four language descriptions written by the late Terry Crowley is, in many respects, a praiseworthy achievement. The premature death of the author in 2005, aged only 52, meant the loss of a major figure in Oceanic linguistics as well as a tragedy for his field of expertise, the firsthand documentation of Vanuatu’s numerous endangered languages.

  • A Reanalysis of *L-Loss in Paamese and Southeast Ambrym
    Morphological Conditions on Regular Sound Change? A Reanalysis of *l-loss in Paamese and Southeast Ambrym Juliette Blevins John Lynch Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology University of the South Pacific Northern Paamese and Southeast Ambrym, two languages of Central Vanuatu, share a set of sound changes involving vocalization and loss of *l. One subpart of this sound change results in loss of *l word-initially before non-high vowels. An interesting aspect of this sound change is that it appears to apply in all word classes except verbs. Indeed, Crowley (1997) suggests that Northern Paamese *l-loss is a clear case of sound change with grammatical conditioning. In this paper we suggest that phonological and morphological aspects of verbal inflectional paradigms have given rise to the apparent exceptionality of *l-loss in these two languages. Phonological factors result in continuation of /l/, while the structure of inflectional paradigms has given rise to analogical restoration of initial /l/ in all verbs where it is expected to be lost. Under this analysis, initial *l-loss can be seen to have applied without exception, and without grammatical conditioning. 1. Introduction. Phonetically-based sound change is strongly associated with the Neogrammarian tradition of the late 19th century. In this tradition, sound change was modeled as systematic, exceptionless, proto- typically regular. For the Neogrammarians, the regularity of sound change was definitional and operational: "Those changes that were sweeping and observed after several centuries to be essentially exceptionless qualified for the term Lautgesetz (sound law), while changes that seemed to affect only particular words or groups of words did not so qualify" (Rankin 2003:185).

Edited and prepared for publication by Nick Thieberger. Oxford and New York: Ox- ford University Press. 216pp. ISBN:978-019-921370-2, paperback. Reviewed by ThomaS E. PayNE, University of Oregon and SIL International Field linguistics: A beginner’s guide is a compendium of sensible and practical words of wisdom from a veteran linguistic field worker to novice researchers in the field. The book represents one of the last publications of Terry Crowley, who was a vigorous con- tributor to field linguistics in Australia and Vanuatu until his untimely death in 2005. Crow- ley’s publications include fieldwork-based studies of at least eighteen distinct languages of Australia, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea, including full grammars of seven languages of Australia and Vanuatu, and two creole languages (Bislama and Cape York Creole). At his death he was Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at Waikato University, in Hamilton, New Zealand. The book under review was being revised by Crowley at the time of his death, at which point the project was taken over by Crowley’s colleague, Nick Thieberger, who finished the revision and prepared the book for publication. In the acknowledgements, Crowley dedicates the book to Don Laycock, another field linguist of considerable stand- ing in Papuan linguistics, who passed away unexpectedly in 1988. The book is divided into seven chapters that take the reader from the question of “Why bother to do field linguistics?” (Chapter one) through ethical issues (Chapter two), to the details of elicitation of word lists, isolated examples, and texts (Chapters four and five).

  • TITLES & ABSTRACTS: Terry Crowley
    TITLES & ABSTRACTS: Terry Crowley Memorial Workshop A Report on Deacon’s materials on some Malakula languages Julie Barbour, University of Waikato Cape Cumberland and How It Got That Way Ross Clark, University of Auckland Cape Cumberland, the northwestern arm of Espiritu Santo, is home to either five closely related languages (Tryon 1976) or “a single dialectally diverse and geographically dispersed language” (Lynch & Crowley 2001). The language shows complex phonological and lexical divisions and connections within itself, to the island as a whole (especially its western half), and possibly beyond (to the Banks group). The speakers now live in coastal villages, though the interior was inhabited within living memory of the older generation. This movement of population may account for cross-peninsula linguistic connections where there is little or no direct contact today. A report based on existing material and recent fieldwork. Nahavaq phonology Laura Dimock, Victoria University of Wellington I look at diphthong-like combinations in Nahavaq (Malakula, Vanutau) and their distribution. Using native-speakers’ judgements on syllable breaking and my analysis of general Nahavaq syllable structure (for non-borrowed words), I find that all the dipthong- like combinations can be interpreted as vowels with the approximants, /j/ and /w/, which given this analysis, have similar distribution to any other of the more canonical consonants. Then considering /j/ and /w/ as consonants, I take another look at Nahavaq syllable structure. Aspects of Bieria, Vanuatu Robert Early, University of the South Pacific, Port Vila The Bieria language is spoken in the south-west of Epi, Vanuatu. Since an early sketch grammar by Ray (1926), some missionary translations, and a wordlist in Tryon 1976, there has been no significant effort to document this language.

Pacific Linguistics, established in 1963 through an initial grant from the Hunter Douglas Fund, is associated with the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies at The Australian National University. The Editorial Board of Pacific Linguistics is made up of the academic staff of the School's Department of Linguistics. The authors and editors of Pacific Linguistics publications are drawn from a wide range of institutions around the world. Publications are refereed by scholars with relevant expertise who are usually not members of the editorial board.
