Arms (Sindangan Subanan), P.R. Kroeger (Kimaragang Dusun), Beatrice Clayre (Borneo languages) and R. van der Berg and N. P. Himmelmann (languages of Sulawesi). Donna Evans discusses causatives (Kaili), Barbara Friberg person marking (in Konjo), U. Sirk verbal suffixes (western Indonesian languages). Papers by A. van Engelenhoven and H. Steinhauer concern syncronic metathesis in the Central Malayo-Polynesian languages (Letinese and Dawanese).
