Excerpt from Language Study for New Guinea Students
Dr. Capell, who, incidentally, is our leading authority on Melanesian linguistics, gives in Part I an introduction to the phonetics which will suffice for the above needs, and in Parts II and III provides a general background and survey of the general features and the grammatical structures of the non-melanesian (papuan) and Melanesian languages of the region. The reader who becomes familiar with these two parts will have some idea of what to expect when he commences his study of a particular language. The 'map with its key shows the distribution of the types of languages in the Mandated Territory as far as is known. In Part IV Dr. Capell has added brief notes on learning a native language.
