About this book
Island Southeast Asia and the Pacific, broadly the Austronesian world, is home to considerable language diversity. This volume surveys the region, with chapters on Formosa, the Philippines, the major island groups of Indonesia and island Melanesia, Micronesia, Polynesia, and the Chamic languages. Other chapters discuss the syntactic and phonological significance of the region's languages, its pidgins and creoles, and Malay as a lingua franca.
