本文回顾了波利尼西亚语言学，因为它涉及到民间的植物名称。在17世纪之前，在大约两千年的时间里，波利尼西亚这片广袤的土地上几乎所有可居住的岛屿都被殖民化了，然后实际上变得彼此孤立，导致了28种可识别语言的发展。波利尼西亚殖民者随身携带了许多他们的文化植物，他们在新家园中识别出相同或相似的物种。这些植物的名称现在彼此不同，但它们的差异通常可以使用语言工具来预测。讨论了各种因素导致的常规名称更改和其他不规则名称更改，并提供了表格。还提供了广泛使用的民间名称及其同源词的表格，以及相关的斐济语和斐济语名称的比较表格。
This article reviews Polynesian linguistics as it relates to folk names of plants. Before the seventeenth century and over a period of about two thousand years, almost all of the inhabitable islands of the vast area defined as Polynesia were colonized and then became virtually isolated from each other, resulting in the development of twenty-eight recognizable languages. The Polynesian colonists carried with them many of their cultural plants, and they recognized identical or similar species in their new homes. The names for these plants now vary from each other, but their differences are often predictable using linguistic tools. The regular name changes and other irregular name changes resulting from a variety of factors are discussed and tables are provided. Tables of widespread folk names and their cognates are also provided, as well as ones comparing related Micronesian and Fijian names.
