On Rank and Leadership in Proto Oceanic Society
The initial spread of Oceanic languages beyond the Bismarck Archipelago can be associated with the rapid dispersal of the archaeological culture known as Lapita across the southwest Pacific around 3000 bp. The question arises as to what forms of leadership and social organisation underpinned the Lapita expansion and whether historical linguistics in combination with comparative ethnography can provide clues. The present essay will consider a rang…
Ancient DNA and its contribution to understanding the human history of the Pacific Islands
Two recent papers, by Lipson et al. and Posth et al., have challenged current interpretations of the initial settlement of Remote Oceania. We invited Stuart Bedford, who is an author on both papers, to outline their importance, and a number of scholars in various disciplines to comment on their findings

Typological implications of Kalam predictable vowels
Kalam is a Trans New Guinea language of Papua New Guinea. Kalam has two distinct vowel types: full vowels /a e o/, which are of relatively long duration and stressed, and reduced central vowels, which are shorter and often unstressed, and occur predictably within word-internal consonant clusters and in monoconsonantal utterances. The predictable nature of the reduced vowels has led earlier researchers, e.g. Biggs (1963) and Pawley (1966), to sugg…

The Prehistory of Oceanic Languages
The paper sketches the linguistic comparative method and reports on current results of its application to the Oceanic group of Austronesian languages. We give a brief account of the culture of Proto-Oceanic speakers as it is revealed by language, then outline our present view of Oceanic subgrouping, explaining what this implies about the location of Proto-Oceanic and the dispersion of Oceanic speakers into the Pacific. We examine patterns discern…

Recent Directions in Oceanic Linguistics
Early Austronesian Social Organization
Published views on early Austronesian social organization can be characterized broadly as representing one of two mutually irreconcilable positions: one that recognizes descent groups and another that does not. The former position-in a highly specific form that I call the "prescriptive-alliance hypothesis"-has been adopted by most Dutch scholars concerned with the culture history of Indonesia and was independently reached by Levi-Strauss in the c…
