PREFACE

The goal of this booklet was originally designed to supplement materials that the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) provides for its members who are learning Tok Pisin. These include

An Introductory Programmed Course in Ne w Guinea Pidgin by Robert Litteral and An Advanced Course in Tok Pisin by David Scorza and Karl 1. Franklin, and the Pacific Orientation Course Tok Pisin Language Learning Course (by various SIL Karl J. Franklin,

staff members). However, it can help any Tok Pisin language learner increase his or her vocabulary and understanding of expressions which may not be encountered on a regular basis. Serious Tok Pisin learners should go on and consult Tom Dutton and Dicks Thomas,

New Course in Tok Pisin (PL, 0-67,

A

198 5 ).

The source which inspired the layout for this manual is from the series published by Hutchinson & Co. (London) called

Know Your English (Geoffrey

Broughton, 197 6).

It

has been adapted for other languages, such as German, as well. I have freely consulted

The Jacaranda Dictionary and Grammar of Melanesian Pidgin

(Mihalic, 19 7 7 ) for help on many examples and illustrations. This excellent dictionary is presently being revised by Frs Mihalic and John Verhaar. I appreciate the many people who have read previous drafts of this booklet and offered suggestions. In particular I would like to thank Stephen Thomas, David Scorza, Robert (Barney) Barnes, Jeff Bailey, Sjaak van Kleef, Kirk Franklin, David Gela and Tom Dutton. My thanks also to Kirk Franklin and Zibborah Alugase of the SIL Media Services Department and to Jim Eliaison of the Academic Publishing Department of SIL for their assistance in the layout of this manual.

IN1RODUcrrON

People who are learning Tok Pisin often wish to expand their vocabulary. They also need to be aware of various lexical options in a multitude of situations. Sometimes a word or phrase will not quite fit and Tok Pisin learners need to know why the meaning they intended was somehow missed. To aid in this learning process we have constructed manual, each with

20

15

units in this

multiple choice statements. These cover all of the vocabulary one is

likely to want. There are five choices for each statement, giving a total of phrasal or sentence units which the student may consider.

1 ,500

lexical

There are also a number of

questions that test general knowledge about Papua New Guinea, rather than specific instances of Tok Pisin. A few examples are given to test the accepted Tok Pisin spelling. The 'answers' are not prescriptive: Tok Pisin does allow significant variations, but there are limits!

The 'answers' section discusses the choices and explains why one answer is

preferred over the others. Choices or answers which are questionable are marked with an asterisk (*). The answers have been given in the context of the particular questions that are in focus. The student is generally encouraged to go from Unit 'score'. Then, if the final tally averages less than

15

1

to the final Unit before compiling a

'correct' answers in a Unit, there is

need for more work and revision. Those who use this booklet are encouraged to send suggestions for improvements to the
