An-lang Digest, Vol 98, Issue 7

[Stef Spronck]

Dear all,

Following that observation: Chikako Senge and I are preparing a paper about irrealis marking in a number of Northern Australian languages and syncretism between irrealis and imperative morphology seems to be occurring in a number of (Pama-Nyungan) Aboriginal Australian languages as well.

Best,
Stef
