Ehrhart, Sabine – Language Sciences, 1992
Presents phrases and structures quoted from Melanesian families of the St-Louis tribe in New Caledonia. The system of preverbal markers in Tayo is not well developed and is subject to fluctuation. The use of preverbal markers does not follow the Tempus-Modus-Aspekt rules. (five references) (Author/JP)
