Austronesian languages have long raised interesting questions for
generative theories of syntax and morphology. The papers in this
volume encompass some of these traditional questions and place them
in newer theoretical contexts. Some of the papers also address new
issues which add to our understanding of members of this language
family on one side and the nature of linguistic theories on the
other. There are three broad issues that re-occur throughout the
volume - the role and analysis of verbal morphology, the nature of
the subject or the topic in these languages, and the interaction of
syntax and specificity. The papers in this volume show that as
formal theories become more precise, a wider range of language data
can be captured, and as the inventory of language data grows, the
accuracy of formal linguistic theories improves.
