| Research Abstract |
In this research project, we have investigated endangered indigenous languages in and around New Caledonia, with the purpose of describing their grammars and compiling dictionaries. Specifically, Tinrin and Neku, the two most endangered Oceanic languages have been investigated through fieldworks carried out every year. The outcome of the research done in this project has appeared in conference papers (International Conference on Oceanic Linguistics 2007 and 2010, etc.), journal articles, and chapters of books (the main publications listed in 5), in addition to ongoing grammar and dictionaries. A Neku folk tale was also published as a children's book. This research has made a significant contribution to Oceanic linguistics in providing several new linguistic discoveries and filling gaps in comparative linguistics, in addition to shedding light on, and describing the least-investigated languages of New Caledonia.
