Description

This series contains Capell’s field note books from around Oceania. They contain (inter alia) grammatical notes, words, phrases, and short texts in local languages from the north east Irian Java coast such as Ase, Ajapo, Arso, Sobei, Boikin, Malol, Suain, Wamsak, Maprik, and Tabu.

These field note books cover various Papuan and Austronesian languages from the North East Irian Jaya Coast to Wewak in the West and East Sepik Province of Papua New Guinea.

Oceania is a geographical (often geopolitical) region consisting of numerous countries and territories – mostly islands – in the Pacific Ocean. The exact scope of Oceania is controversial, with varying interpretations including East Timor, Australia, New Zealand, or none of these.
