Dutton Tom, Tryon Darrell T. (Eds.). Language Contact and Change in the Austronesian World

De Gruyter Mouton, 1994. — 696 p. — (Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs 77).Language contact and contact-induced language change is widespread throughout the languages of the world, but perhaps nowhere more so than in island Southeast Asia and the Pacific. This area is largely occupied by peoples speaking languages belonging to the Austronesian family, the most widespread language family in the world. It stretches from Madagascar in the west to Easter Island in the east and includes the geographical areas of Indonesia, Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesia, the Philippines, and Taiwan. The only part of this area not occupied by speakers of Austronesian languages is the large island of New Guinea where non-Austronesian or Papuan languages are widely distributed.The classification of the Tamanic languages - K.
