In parts of Highland PNG there are flourishing traditions of epic-like chanted tales. Often dealing with relationships between people and land, these are a highly valued cultural resource. From the perspective of comparative poetics they are one of the clearest known examples of measured verse that has developed independently of alphabetic or syllabic writing. This project brings together an interdisciplinary team of investigators to analyse the wide range of styles in which these narratives are performed, and further the understanding of their implications for cross-cultural study of verbal art and the politics of land ownership in present-day Papua New Guinea.

在巴布亚新几内亚高地的部分地区，有着繁荣的史诗般的吟唱故事的传统。它们经常处理人与土地之间的关系，是一种非常宝贵的文化资源。从比较诗学的角度来看，它们是独立于字母或音节书写而发展起来的格律诗的最明显的例子之一。该项目汇集了一个跨学科的研究团队，分析这些叙事的广泛风格，并进一步了解它们对当今巴布亚新几内亚口头艺术和土地所有权政治的跨文化研究的影响。
