"This reference grammar provides a full grammatical description of the previously-undocumented Austronesian language variety known as Belep. Belep is spoken by approximately 1600 people in New Caledonia, primarily in the Belep Isles. This book is the first full-length English-language description of a Northern New Caledonian language. It fills a gap and provides an important addition to the literature on these languages"--

McCracken describes the grammar of Belep [ yly], an Austronesian language variety spoken by about 1,600 people in and around the Belep Isles in New Caledonia. She begins with a summary of the culture and linguistic background of Belep speakers, then discusses Belep phonology and phonetics, morphology and word formation, nouns and the noun phrase, verbs and the verb group, basic clause structure, and clause combining. The phonetic inventory of Belep consists of 18 consonants and 10 vowels, which she says is much smaller than those of surrounding languages, because the consonants do not contrast in aspiration and the vowels do not contrast in length.

The series builds an extensive collection of high quality descriptions of languages around the world. Each volume offers a comprehensive grammatical description of a single language together with fully analyzed sample texts and, if appropriate, a word list and other relevant information which is available on the language in question. There are no restrictions as to language family or area, and although special attention is paid to hitherto undescribed languages, new and valuable treatments of better known languages are also included. No theoretical model is imposed on the authors; the only criterion is a high standard of scientific quality.
