Abstract:

The volume brings together important essays on syntax and semantics by 
Aikhenvald and Dixon, highlighting their expertise in various fields of linguistics. 
The first part focusses on linguistic typology, covering case markers used on 
verbs, argument-determined constructions, unusual meanings of causatives, the 
semantic basis for a typology, word-class-changing derivations, speech reports 
and semi-direct speech. The second part concentrates on documentation and 
analysis of previously undescribed languages, from South America and 
Indigenous Australia. The third part addresses a variety of issues in grammar 
and lexicography of English. This includes pronouns with transferred reference, 
comparative constructions, features of the noun phrase, and the discussion of 
'twice'. The treatment of Australian Aboriginal words in dictionaries is discussed 
in the final chapter.
