Abstract:

This volume explores how linguistic theories inform the ways in which
languages are described. Theories, as representations of linguistic
categories, guide the field linguist to look for various phenomena without
presupposing their necessary existence and provide the tools to account for
various sets of data across different languages. A goal of linguistic
description is to represent the full range of language structures for any
given language. The chapters in this book cover various sub-disciplines of
linguistics including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
language acquisition, and anthropological linguistics, drawing upon
theoretical approaches such as prosodic Phonology, Enhancement theory,
Distributed Morphology, Minimalist syntax, Lexical Functional Grammar, and
Kinship theory. The languages described in this book include Australian
languages (Pama-Nyungan and non-Pama-Nyungan), Romance languages as well as
English. This volume will be of interest to researchers in both descriptive
and theoretical linguistics.
