Reviews
In its totality, it is very satisfying to have the wealth of data present in this book all in one place. The book itself is aesthetically pleasing, with clear writing and a very helpful index. One strength in this domain is the clarity with which Massam handles different terminology throughout the text and across the generative literature. Moreover, the synthesis of prior literature gives this volume the feel of a reference work on generative approaches to severalmajor topics, including verb-initial word order, argument tructure, and ergativity. Reading through this book gave me the impression that Massam wrote it not only as an avenue to advance our understanding of these properties of language, but also as a labor of love for the language itself. I expectthat this new work by Massam will have a similarly large impact as her earlier work on this language., "In its totality, it is very satisfying to have the wealth of data present in this book all in one place.

Synopsis
This volume explores the grammar of Niuean, an endangered Polynesian language spoken on the island of Niue and in New Zealand, with a focus on the issue of predication. Since Aristotle, it has been claimed that a sentence consists of a subject and a predicate. Niuean constitutes the perfect testing ground for this claim: it displays verb-subject-object word order, in which the subject interrupts the predicate, and has an ergative case system, in which subjects are not clearly distinguished from objects in their marking for grammatical case. Diane Massam uses the framework of generative grammar to carry out a detailed analysis of the internal structure of Niuean predicates and arguments, as well as the relations between them, touching on many other topics including the nature of displacement, word formation, determiners, and thematic roles. The proposal is that Niuean complex predicates are formed via successive inversion, prior to the merge of all arguments (high argument merge), and that the predicate undergoes fronting to initial position across the arguments, with the same structure found also in nominal clauses. The conclusion is that Niuean does not have a subject in the usual sense, and this is related to the fact that the language has isolating morphology, lacking all tense and agreement inflection and nominative case. Instead, the language exhibits low absolutive predication, applicative ergative agents, and predicate fronting in lieu of subject extraction. The book extends our understanding of cross-linguistic sentence structure and grammatical case, and will be of interest to scholars in the fields of Austronesian linguistics, typology, and theoretical linguistics., This volume explores predication in Niuean, an endangered Polynesian language spoken on the island of Niue and in New Zealand. It extends our understanding of cross-linguistic sentence structure and grammatical case, and will be of interest to scholars in the fields of Austronesian linguistics, typology, and theoretical linguistics., Niuean, or Vagahau Niue, is a Polynesian language within the Oceanic branch of the Austronesian family. It is spoken on the Pacific island of Niue, a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand, and in New Zealand. Niue is a bilingual country (Niucan and English), with a decreasing population of just over 1,600 people, while New Zealand is home to almost 24,000 Niuean people, but only 7.5 per cent of New Zealand-born Niuean people speak Niuean. There are many efforts to maintain the language, but it continues to lose ground to English both in New Zealand and in Niue. Book jacket.

This book completes my Wild Cards series and was at a very good price (I've seen this book for sale online at three figure sums). For a 30 year old paperbook the appearance was superb.
