[Lingtyp] idioms/listemes in grammars

[Ruth Singer]

Hi Adam,

I have described idioms in Mawng, an Australian Indigenous language, in my
book:
Singer, Ruth. 2016. *The dynamics of nominal classification: productive and
lexicalised uses of gender agreement in Mawng* (Pacific Linguistics 642).
Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter.

I'm happy to send you a pdf of the book. I discuss idioms that combine
verbs and an argument expression such as a free noun, incorporated noun or
argument indexing in the verb, i.e. verbal agreement. I talk about how to
typologise these constructions, comparing them with constructions in other
Australian Indigenous languages and related constructions around the world.

Ruth
