This paper studies a common Tok Pisin lexical verb and auxiliary save ‘know’; ‘habitual’, respectively, and its prominent uses in examples of social interaction described in one section of the Wantok magazine and a Papua New Guinean writer’s short narrative. The linguistic material examined here seems to point to the semantic category of ‘social rela- tionship nouns’ (SRNs) as relevant to the contextually and culturally adequate understand- ing of the examined examples of Tok Pisin usage.
