Description

Pacific Linguistics, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Australian National University, 2001. — 425 p. — ISBN: 0858835088Anejom̃ is the language of Aneityum, the southernmost island in Vanutatu. This dictionary, compiled by a professional Oceanic linguist and native speaker of the language, contains almost 5,000 Anejom̃ lexical items, with definitions in both English and Bislama (the national language of Vanuatu). Both English-Anejom̃ and Bislama-Anejom̃ finderlists are provided to make the dictionary accessible both to linguists and to ni-Vanutatu who may not speak or read English.The dictionary uses a newly devised orthography, which more accurately reflects the phonology of the language than the one in current use. It is hoped that the dictionary will prove valuable to linguists, to native speakers, and to children learning to read and write in the language. It complements A grammar of Anejom̃, also by John Lynch and published by Pacific Linguistics.
