Abstract: 
This paper looks at the contribution that SIL has made to Oceanic linguistics in the past five decades. It first outlines what kind of organisation SIL is and what sort of activities it is involved in. Then it gives a detailed and critical overview of subdisciplines within Oceanic linguistic in which SIL members have been active. The paper also discusses avenues for future research and collaboration between SIL and other linguists in order to foster interdependence.
