Further Reading

           Perhaps the single most valuable resource for the word list surveyor is volume 21 of Workpapers in Papua New Guinea Languages (Loving and Simons 1977). The articles in that volume which are mentioned in the bibliography at the end of this book should help with getting started in dialect survey and word list analysis.
