Abstract:
Eastern/Central Arrernte is a range of closely-related dialects spoken in an
area around and including Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of
Australia. It can be considered one of the strongest Australian Indigenous
languages, with an estimated 2,000 speakers and continuing transmission to
children. Nonetheless, Arrernte is under pressure and must be considered
endangered.
There are four areas of particular focus in this work. The focus on segmental
phonology reviews and extends modern analyses of the vowel system, and in the
consonant system presents instrumental articulatory evidence on the contrast
between alveolar and post-alveolar phonological categories. Three fundamental
aspects of the morphological structure are presented, primarily in relation to
verbs. A range of complex verb types is distinguished, including an analysis
of variation in which a single verb may alternatively constitute either a
single word or more than one word. Prosodic units are shown to play an
important role in a rich variety of morphological processes which include
suffix allomorphy, reduplication, compounding and verb splitting. The final
area of focus is verbal and deverbal derivation. The approach throughout is
basically descriptive. Numerous natural language examples are provided.
