      • Description : The intricate kinship system of Ambrym comes with a number of rules which determine how people have to behave towards one another. Taboos hold mostly for those relatives who are eligible as in-laws (see the session about the marriage lineage). They range from a ban on jokes to forbidding a person to be in the same room with certain relatives.

        • Description : This informant from Emyotungan is a fieldworker of the Cultural Center of Vanuatu and has been involved in attempts to conserve the language prior to the project. As many of the informants, he is very much concerned with the growing influence of Bislama on the language and is trying to avoid using loan words. His knowledge of stories and his commitment to preserve the language have been very helpful.
