Canberra: Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Australian National.... 1999. Trade paperback. Fine. No dust jacket as issued.. xx, 459 p.; 25 cm. . This volume presents an overview of the morphological and syntactic structures of Korafe, a Papuan language spoken in the Oro Province of Papua New Guinea. Its focus is on the structure and functions of three types of complex constructions in sentences and discourse: (1) serial verb constructions (SVCs), (2) switch reference constructions (SRCs), and (3) co-ranking constructions.
