The consequences of talking to strangers: Evolutionary corollaries of socio-cultural influences on linguistic form
The Lexicon of Proto Oceanic: The Culture and Environment of Ancestral Oceanic Society. 1. Material Culture
How Do Languages Change? (More on "Aberrant" Languages)
Aberrant languages are languages which have proved relatively intractable by the comparative method. Within the Austronesian family, such intractable languages are particularly common in Melanesia. The question is how certain languages have become aberrant and certain others not. The reasons are sought in what recent sociolinguistic studies have revealed about the roles of the communities in which languages are spoken in relation both to language…

Early Austronesian Social Organization: The Evidence of Language [and Comments and Reply]
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…

Austronesian Lexicostatistical Classification: A Review Article
On the Scientific Status of Genetic Classification in Linguistics
As I understand the responsibilities of linguistics (and of Oceanic linguistics, in particular), genetic classification is a matter of serious concern. It is an integral part of the problem of historical reconstruction, and historical reconstruction must ultimately be a concern even of descriptive linguistics if we are to attempt an adequate accounting of the total body of linguistic phenomena without redundancies of astronomical proportions. Mor…

The Linguistic Evidence
There are various difficulties in evaluating the linguistic problem at hand. Notably, linguistics still has no satisfactory method for determining absolute dates. Moreover, Dyen's recent lexicostatistical work suggests inferences with respect to the early history of the family which contrast dramatically with those suggested by earlier comparative work. However, on the basis of the lines of evidence presently available, it would appear that Malay…
