LANGUAGE & LINGUISTICS IN MELANESIA

Editorial Comment

Happy New Year to all our readers and Members of the Linguistic Society of Papua New Guinea! The International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL 2022-2032) is gathering momentum in the South Pacific - the IDIL National Coalition Task Force, comprised of representatives of civil, government, and international organizations, has been set up to facilitate government and civil society efforts to showcase and promote the indigenous languages of Papua New Guinea.  Your LLM is here, as always, to help you share your research ideas and findings with world audiences online.

LLM Vol. 41 2023 opens up with Professor Karl Franklin's interesting account of idiomatic and metaphorical expressions regarding sickness in Kewa and other members of the Engan language family. 

Let research ideas blossom, let creative juices flow!
