ABSTRACT The article is divided into two parts. In the first, I explore what is known about the precontact history of Collingwood Bay based on archaeological, linguistic, and oral evidence. While much must be left to speculation, the evidence strongly suggests that the Bay has long been a meeting point between Austronesian and Papuan peoples. The second and longer part of the paper attends to the political system found in most Collingwood Bay communities. I focus here primarily on the Maisin-speaking people residing in the southern part of the Bay with whom I’ve worked since 1981. More specifically, I describe how this system incorporates both hierarchical and egalitarian aspects and has proven remarkably adaptable to social changes from the time of European first contact in the 1890s.

混合语法和混乱的层次结构:巴布亚新几内亚的南岛语-巴布亚语接触区

摘要 本文分为两部分。首先,我根据考古学、语言学和口述证据,探讨了人们对科林伍德湾的接触前历史的了解。虽然还有很多事情有待猜测,但证据强烈表明,海湾长期以来一直是南岛人和巴布亚人之间的交汇点。论文的第二部分和更长的部分关注大多数科林伍德湾社区的政治制度。我在这里主要关注居住在海湾南部的说迈辛语的人,他们自 1981 年以来一直与我一起工作。更具体地说,我描述了这个系统如何结合等级和平等方面,并已证明非常适应来自欧洲人第一次接触的时间是 1890 年代。
