Linguistically, it is one of the least known parts of Melanesia. Yet the glimpses we already have are enough to see that this zone has among the highest levels of linguistic diversity in New Guinea (see Maps 6.1 and 6.2), arguably only exceeded by those found in the Sepik and the north coast. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Grant Details: | ARC/DP110100307 | Source of Publication: | The Languages and Linguistics of the New Guinea Area: A Comprehensive Guide, p. 641-774 | Publisher: | De Gruyter Mouton | Place of Publication: | Berlin, Germany | ISBN: | 9783110295252 9783110567267 9783110286427 |
