Although much has been written about the ceremonial exchange systems of New Guinea highlanders, this 1991 book is the first to concentrate on exchange events and the elaborate oratory used at them. Francesca Merlan and Alan Rumsey advance our understanding of the interaction between social structures and historical events, and of the crucial role of talk.
