Although Jabem is one of the best-documented languages in Melanesia (at least in Jabem and German), the only materials available in English have been Streicher's (1982) Jabem-English Dictionary, a brief grammar sketch in Tryon's (1995) Comparative Austronesian Dictionary, and sporadic articles on Jabem tonogenesis and verb serialization.

This translation of Otto Dempwolff's grammar now adds a comprehensive overview and data-rich synthesis of Jabem grammar.
