The Early Documents on and in Chamorro and Rapanui

About this book

"Oceanic Voices - European Quills" wirft ein Schlaglicht auf die Geschichte der Sprachwissenschaft an zwei ozeanischen Extremen. Das im nordwestlichen Pazifik gesprochene Chamorro Guams und der Nördlichen Marianen hat als erste austronesische Sprache das Interesse der Sprachforschung gefunden (16. Jhdt.), wĂ€hrend das auf der Osterinsel im sĂŒdöstlichen Pazifik gesprochene Rapanui einer der NachzĂŒgler ist (19. Jhdt.). Im vorliegenden Band werden die Pionierarbeiten zu beiden Sprachen in neun Artikeln gewĂŒrdigt, die die frĂŒhesten europĂ€ischen Sichtungen dieser beiden Inselkulturen dokumentieren, ĂŒbersetzen, beschreiben und analysieren. Es werden grundlegende Einsichten nicht nur in die frĂŒhen Stadien des Chamorro und des Rapanui vermittelt, sondern auch in die Disziplin der Historiographie der Sprachwissenschaft in einer der kulturell reichsten und faszinierendsten Regionen der Erde.
