Comparison, Contrast and Similarity in Yalaku.

Yalaku, a Ndu language from the Middle Sepik region of the East Sepik Province of Papua New Guinea, has no dedicated comparative construction -- just like an overwhelming majority of Papuan languages of New Guinea (de Vries 2015).

The last section contains a summary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
