The Oceanic Languages: Their Grammatical Structure, Vocabulary, and Origin (1907)

""The Oceanic Languages: Their Grammatical Structure, Vocabulary, And Origin"" is a comprehensive linguistic study of the Oceanic languages, which are spoken in the Pacific region. Written by Donald Macdonald and originally published in 1907, the book provides a detailed analysis of the grammatical structure and vocabulary of these languages, as well as their historical origins and development. Macdonald draws on a wide range of sources, including first-hand observations of native speakers, historical records, and comparative linguistic analysis, to create a detailed portrait of the Oceanic languages and their place in the wider linguistic landscape. The book is aimed at linguists, anthropologists, and other scholars interested in the languages and cultures of the Pacific region, and provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
