Der vorliegende Band versammelt Beitrage zu fruhen Zeugnissen der
Sprachen der Philippinen und Mikronesiens. Tagalog, Bikol, Cebuano,
Iloko, Chamorro und andere Sprachen dieses und angrenzender Gebiete
werden in dem Sammelband beschrieben. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt auf
den fruhen Grammatiken und Worterbuchern, daraus folgenden
Beschreibungen und deren moglichen Wechselwirkungen. In einigen
Arbeiten wird dargelegt, wie fortschrittlich einige Grammatiker der
philippinischen Sprachen waren und inwieweit sie die
Sprachtypologie vorwegnahmen. Der Sammelband ist eine Pionierstudie
zur Geschichte der beschreibenden Sprachwissenschaft in Sudostasien
und im Westpazifik. Daruber hinaus wird heutigen interessierten
Sprechern der beschriebenen Sprachen ein Einblick in die
Vergangenheit ihrer Sprachgemeinschaft ermoglicht. The papers
assembled in this collection deal with the early linguistic sources
on the languages of the Philippines and Micronesia. Tagalog, Bikol,
Cebuano, Iloko, Chamorro and sundry languages of the area and
beyond are featured in the papers. The focus is on the first
descriptive work devoted to these languages and subsequent early
treatments and their potential interdependency. Several papers also
address the issue of how "modern" the early grammarians of
Philippine languages were and to what extent they did typological
linguistics avant la lettre. The collection is a pioneer
contribution to the history of descriptive linguistics in Southeast
Asia and the West Pacific. Moreover it offers a window to the past
for the interested members of the modern speech communities of the
languages covered by the papers."
