- Summary:
-
This book describes Koromu (or Kesawai), a previously undescribed language pf Papua New Guinea's Ramu Valley. Koromu belongs to the Madang subgroup of the putative Trans New Guinea family. The grammar covers the structures of the language and includes a detailed study of information structure. It is underpinned by the author's research on meaning and culture, made possible by interaction with Koromu speakers over many years.
