This language’s particle ia was used to argue that relativization is a specific kind of bracketing by Gillian Sankoff and Penelope Brown. According to Peter Mühlhäusler, the causative structure of this language and its use of liklik to mean “small” stem from the Tolai people. This language attaches the suffix “-pla” to almost all adjectives, which, like its use of invariant (*) “-im” to transitive verbs, has parallels in its relatives. In the Gazelle Peninsula, this language served as the substrate for the creole Unserdeutsch. The number of people who speak Hiri Motu, also known as Police Motu, declined because of competition with this language, which, like the related Bislama, emerged from the bêche-de-mer trade and Queensland plantations. For 10 points, name this creole lingua franca of Papua New Guinea. ■END■
