An Erromangan (Sye) dictionary

Crowley, Terry

PL 508

This volume represents the most complete compilation to date of vocabulary in the Erromangan (or Sye) language of southern Vanuatu, along with an English-Erromangan finderlist. The introduction provides relevant background to enable the reader to make maximum use of information contained within dictionary entries, as well as discussing relevant grammatical and sociolinguistic information. The dictionary also includes separate discussions of personal names and names of places in the Erromangan language. This volume is intended as a supplement to An Erromangan (Sye) grammar by the same author, as well as Ura: a disappearing language of Southern Vanuatu, which is a description of the most closely related language.
