A group of 28 texts in Mamanwa, an Austronesian language of the Visayan family of the Southern Philippines, is presented. They were told by native speakers and transcribed in Mamanwa and English. Three types of discourse are represented: narrative (both traditional and factual); procedural/explanatory; and hortatory. The main cultural themes presented are the spirit world, sorcery, war, marriage, and childbirth. An introductory section offers biographical information on the texts' contributors, a map illustrating the geographical scope of the stories, notes on abbreviations and symbols in the interlinear text, and additional information on abbreviations. The 28 texts follow, each with linguistic and cultural notes. Appended materials include notes on Mamanwa phonology, morphophonemic alternation, pronoun usage, noun phrase markers, deictics, locatives, verbal affixes, natural units of time in Mamanwa culture, Mamanwa concepts of human soul and the spirit world, and kinship terminology. A 51-item bibliography is included. (MSE)
