Abstract

The ‘focus’ systems of western Austronesian languages have long intrigued grammarians, typologists and historical linguistics, and this book significantly expends accessible information on them. It is the outcome of a workshop on focus held at the Eight International Conference on Austronesian linguistics in Taipei in December 1997.
