Book Description
This work is directed to those who want to learn more about the Fijian language. It is intended as a reference work, treating in detail such tropics as verb and noun classification, transitivity, the phonological hierarchy, orthography, specification, possession, subordination, and the definite article (among others). In addition, it is an attempt to fit these pieces together into a unified picture of the structure of the language.

Book Description
Fijian Reference Grammar is based on more than fifty years of research. It does not attempt to follow popular linguistic theories, but instead, relies heavily on language in context. The data used include material written and spoken by Fijians, ranging from advice offered by the author's colleagues in the Fijian Dictionary Project to Fijian language newspapers and textbooks. Included also are recordings of loanwords and casual conversations, and -most recently- the text and DVD of a recent Fijian play, Lakovi.

Book Description
Edward Harold Stuart Simmonds, who died on November 9, 1994 aged 75, will be remembered as one of the few distinguished scholars who combined a knowledge of both the languages and the literatures of Thailand and Laos, and who, between 1951 and 1967 succeeded almost single-handedly in establishing the study of Tai languages, literature and culture in British universities. This book presents a fascinating series of essays written in his honour.
