Book Description
We learn best to speak by speaking, whether it be our own language or another tongue, so the plan is to furnish the reader with a verbal equipment sufficient to enable him to converse accurately in Hawaiian with those who still use the language as their own. The equipment offered is, in addition to grammatical notes, a careful selection of five thousand of the most used and most useful English words, with their various equivalents as spoken by present-day Hawaiians among themselves. - Preface.

Book Description
Vocabulary is basic to a child’s development of intelligence and achievement. This picture vocabular book provides a very enjoyable and effective means for teaching basic Hawaiian and English vocabulary to children and adults, either individually or in groups, using the cross-age learning method. The book’s format, in which parts of a whole picture are analyzed and synthesized separately, is far more effective than other picture or dictionary methods for teaching vocabulary.

Book Description
Almost one-quarter of the world's languages are (or were) spoken in the Pacific, making it linguistically the most complex region in the world. Although numerous technical books on groups of Pacific or Australian languages have been published, and descriptions of individual languages are available, until now there has been no single book that attempts a wide regional coverage for a general audience. Pacific Languages introduces readers to the grammatical features of Oceanic, Papuan, and Australian languages as well as to the semantic structures of these languages. For readers without a formal linguistic background, a brief introduction to descriptive linguistics is provided. In addition to describing the structure of Pacific languages, this volume places them in their historical and geographical context, discusses the linguistic evidence for the settlement of the Pacific, and speculates on the reason for the region's many languages. It devotes considerable attention to the effects of contact between speakers of different languages and to the development of pidgin and creole languages in the Pacific. Throughout, technical language is kept to a minimum without oversimplifying the concepts or the issues involved. A glossary of technical terms, maps, and diagrams help identify a language geographically or genetically; reading lists and a language index guide the researcher interested in a particular language or group to other sources of information. Here at last is a clear and straightforward overview of Pacific languages for linguists and anyone interested in the history of sociology of the Pacific.
