This thesis is a descriptive grammar of Nahavaq, an Oceanic language spoken by
about 700 people in the Sinesip cultural area of Malakula, Vanuatu. Nahavaq was
previously undescribed, and this grammar is based on data collected by the researcher
over a total of nine months in the Sinesip area. The thesis includes a sociolinguistic
overview of the Nahavaq-speaking community and descriptions of phonetics,
phonology, mophology, syntax, semantics, and discourse.
Noteworthy features of Nahavaq include: (i) two classes of bilabial consonants, which
are distinguished by palatalisation and velarisation; (ii) two reduplicative verbal
prefixes, which partially overlap in function; (iii) a base-20 numeral system with subbases of five and ten; (iv) nouns which include an accreted article; (v) serial verb
constructions; and (vi) nine different surface forms for expressing possession
relationships.
The attached DVD contains a Nahavaq-English glossary, along with recordings and
transcriptions of Nahavaq texts for reference purposes
