| description | Nese is a dying Oceanic language spoken on the island of
Malekula, in northern Vanuatu. This book, based on first-hand fieldwork data,
and without adhering to any particular syntactic framework, presents a
synchronic grammatical description of Nese's phonology and syntax. Despite
being on the verge of extinction, with fewer than 20 living speakers, the
language displays intriguing properties—including but not exclusive to the
cross-linguistically rare apicolabial phonemes, interesting vowel-raising
patterns in some word classes, and a discontinuous negation relationship that is
obligatorily expressed with the irrealis mood marker. This book will probably be
the last work published on Nese. |
