Evans N. et al. (ed.) Materials on Golin: Grammar, texts and dictionary

Parkville: University of Melbourne, 2005. — VIII, 213 p.Golin belongs to the Chimbu (Simbu) family of the Trans-Papua-New-Guinea phylum, along with such languages as Wahgi, Melpa/Medlpa (including Ku Waru), Nii, Kuman, Dom, Chuave, Salt-Yui and Sinasina. Typologically, it is a typical highlands Papuan language, with basic SOV word order, simple nominal morphology but rather complex patterns of verb suffixing, including a rich modal system, verb chaining with a range of subordination and clause-combining strategies, and a limited stock of verb roots augmented by lexicalized coverb plus verb combinations.
