Description: Fijian Reference Grammar is based on more than fifty years of research. It does not attempt to follow popular linguistic theories, but instead, relies heavily on language in context. The data used include material written and spoken by Fijians, ranging from advice offered by the author's colleagues in the Fijian Dictionary Project to Fijian language newspapers and textbooks. Included also are recordings of loanwords and casual conversations, and -most recently- the text and DVD of a recent Fijian play, Lakovi.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 433-442) and index.
