The phonology and verbal system of Awara, a Papuan language of the Finisterre Range, Papua New Guinea

Description:
Awara is a Papuan language of Papua New Guinea spoken in the southeastern end of the Fin-isterre mountain range. Though it has been mentioned in papers written about the Finisterre-Huon languages and about the Wantoat language (another language in the Wantoat family),the Awara sound system has not been described in depth. This work describes the Awaraphonemic inventory, autosegmental features, morphophonemic processes, and implicationsfor the Awara orthography. The analysis is presented within the framework of rules-basedGenerative Phonology.
