A typological overview of Mwotlap, an Oceanic language of Vanuatu
@inproceedings{Franois2005ATO, title={A typological overview of Mwotlap, an Oceanic language of Vanuatu}, author={Alexandre François}, year={2005} }
Abstract The typologist reader is presented here with an overview of the most interesting characteristics of Mwotlap, an Oceanic language of Vanuatu. After a short presentation of its phonology, its main morphosyntactic categories are described and explored from a functional angle. The construal of noun phrases reveals a cognitive asymmetry between human individuals and other referents. Nouns, just like verbs or adjectives, are predicative, and are even sensitive to tense-aspect-mood markers…

The economy of word classes in Hiw, Vanuatu: Grammatically flexible, lexically rigid

- 2017
Focusing on Hiw, an Oceanic language of northern Vanuatu, it is shown that lexical flexibility is there mostly due to the high multifunctionality of its word classes, each of which can regularly access a broad array of syntactic functions.

Complex predicates in Oceanic languages : studies in the dynamics of binding and boundness
- Linguistics
- 2004
This volume provides new data for typological studies and contributes a detailed investigation of the "nuclear" type of complex predicates in Oceanic languages, which appears to be compatible with all types of basic word orders, thus contradicting the generalizations which correlate " nuclear" serialization with verb-final order.

Within this framework, associative plurals are characterized as ranked group plurals that form a single paradigm with first and second person plural pronouns and inclusory (=sylleptic) constructions, all of which are shown to be governed by similar preferences regarding the semantic composition of the group.
