Opis

This grammar offers a comprehensive description of Kuuk Thaayorre, a Paman language spoken on the west coast of Cape York Peninsula, Australia. On the basis of elicited data, conversation as well as archival materials, this grammar details the phonetics and phonology, morphosyntax, lexical and constructional semantics and pragmatics of one of the few indigenous Australian languages still used as a primary means of communication."

Recenzje

"This is the most comprehensive grammatical description yet published for any of the Paman languages, which occupy the Cape York Peninsula in north-eastern Australia. Gaby provides careful analysis of structural roles, distributional categories and discourse function in Kuuk Thaayorre sentences. This grammar will therefore be of particular interest to specialists in syntax, semantics and pragmatics."
