Part II, Historical Linguistics and Linguistic History, ranges from the reconstruction of Australian languages, to reflexes of Proto-Oceanic, to the lexicon of early Melanesian Pidgin.

The volume will whet the appetite of anyone interested in the latest linguistic research in this richly multilingual part of the globe.
