Existence of alternate codes within a speech community requires that speakers perceive and maintain formal linguistic boundaries. Formal boundaries mayor may not have folk recognized geographic correlates. In traditional Melanesian society, people probably attended to few geographic linguistic boundaries wider than village microdialects. In modern political context, however, as regions within multilingual nations discover shared economic interests, geographic language boundaries (and implicit regional groups) may become politically significant. This paper discusses the political manipulation of language boundaries in context of Vanuatu national elections.
