Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the significance of the 'Malayo-Polynesian Theory' in Oceanic studies and offers new perspectives on the linguistic and ethnic relationships between Polynesian, Melanesian, and Indonesian peoples. The author, an established scholar in the field, challenges the prevailing notion that the Polynesian language originated from Malay and argues that these words were, in fact, Polynesian before they became Malayan. He builds his case by thoroughly examining the historical development of the root word Ira and its derivatives across various Oceanic languages and dialects. The book also includes a fascinating analysis of Polynesian creation myths and legends, which further illuminates the cultural and linguistic connections between these diverse populations. In doing so, the author presents a compelling case for the recognition of an earlier, shared linguistic and cultural heritage in the vast expanse of Oceania.
