"Oceanic Voices - European Quills" celebrates the linguistic historiography of two Oceanic poles. The northwest Pacific's Chamorro of Guam and the Northern Marianas was the first (16th century), and the southeast Pacific's Rapanui of Easter Island one of the last (19th century) of the Austronesian tongues to inspire linguistic investigation within greater Oceania. These pioneering efforts are honored in nine articles which document, translate, chronicle, describe and analyze the earliest relics from these two island cultures. This collection of articles reveals fundamental insights not only into earlier stages of both Chamorro and Rapanui but also into the very discipline of linguistic historiography in one of Earth's humanly richest and most fascinating regions. "Oceanic Voices - European Quills" wirft ein Schlaglicht auf die Geschichte der Sprachwissenschaft an zwei ozeanischen Extremen. Das im nordwestlichen Pazifik gesprochene Chamorro Guams und der Nordlichen Marianen hat als erste austronesische Sprache das Interesse der Sprachforschung gefunden (16. Jhdt.), wahrend das auf der Osterinsel im sudostlichen Pazifik gesprochene Rapanui einer der Nachzugler ist (19. Jhdt.). Im vorliegenden Band werden die Pionierarbeiten zu beiden Sprachen in neun Artikeln gewurdigt, die die fruhesten europaischen Sichtungen dieser beiden Inselkulturen dokumentieren, ubersetzen, beschreiben und analysieren. Es werden grundlegende Einsichten nicht nur in die fruhen Stadien des Chamorro und des Rapanui vermittelt, sondern auch in die Disziplin der Historiographie der Sprachwissenschaft in einer der kulturell reichsten und faszinierendsten Regionen der Erde."
