Abstract

This thesis is based on linguistic material collected during fieldwork in the Loyalty Islands during the period May to December 1965, and in July 1966. It represents an attempt to give as detailed an account as possible of the Dehu, Nengone and Iai languages, the Polynesian language of Ouvea being excluded from this study.
