This monograph confronts many of the methodological and substantive issues raised but never fully resolved by Brandstetter. In an effort to reassess the value of his work for contemporary linguistics the author examines Brandstetter’s methods and results, and applies a modified from of this approach to new material.

It is thus intended to serve as a rudimentary root dictionary and a basic handbook on the subject of the root for future scholars of Austronesian. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/slcs.19.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027230201.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027230201.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/slcs.19.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/slcs.19.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/slcs.19.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/slcs.19.hb.png 10 01 JB code slcs.19.01pre vi 1 Miscellaneous 1 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Preface</TitleText> 10 01 JB code slcs.19.02tab x 1 Miscellaneous 2 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Tables and Figures</TitleText> 10 01 JB code slcs.19.03abb xi 1 Miscellaneous 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Abbreviations used in the text</TitleText> 10 01 JB code slcs.19.04int xii 1 Miscellaneous 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Introduction</TitleText> 10 01 JB code slcs.19.05onr 1 1 Chapter 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">1.
