Description

This series contains material from around Oceania, specifically Melanesia and Polynesia. It includes several Oceanic grammatical linguistics studies and also proto studies of Oceanic languages. It includes four printed papers on various aspects of these topics, some of which are (at times heavily) annotated (usually) by Capell.

Melanesia is a region extending from the western side of East Pacific to the Arafura Sea, north and north-east of Australia. The term was first used by Jules Dumont d'Urville in 1832 to denote an ethnic and geographical grouping of islands distinct from Polynesia and Micronesia. Today d'Urville's racial classification is known to be inaccurate because it obscures Melanesia's cultural, linguistic, and genetic diversity. Most importantly, this term combines two quite distinct groups, the Austronesians and the Papuans (who themselves can be considered as comprising a number of distinct groups).

Polynesia (from Greek: p???? many, ??s?? island) is a large grouping of over 1,000 islands scattered over the central and southern Pacific Ocean.
