Papuan Descriptive Linguistics of the West Sepik Region. The New Guinea area has an exceptional, but very poorly understood linguistic diversity, over 1000 languages belonging to many unrelated families. This project will fill in gaps through on site fieldwork in Sandaun (West Sepik) Province, linguistically the most genetically diverse and least known province in all of Papua New Guinea. The grammatical descriptions resulting will enrich our understanding of linguistic variation, not only in New Guinea, but in the world as a whole.

西塞皮克地区的巴布亚描述语言学。新几内亚地区有一个特殊的，但很难理解的语言多样性，超过1000种语言属于许多不相关的家庭。该项目将通过在桑道恩（西塞皮克）省的实地考察填补空白，该省是巴布亚新几内亚所有省份中语言遗传多样性最丰富、最不为人所知的省份。由此产生的语法描述将丰富我们对语言变异的理解，不仅在新几内亚，而且在整个世界。
