Abstract:

Warrongo is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language that used to be spoken in 
northeast Australia. This volume is largely based on the rich data recorded from 
the last fluent speaker. It details the phonology, morphology and syntax of the 
language. In particular, it provides a truly scrutinizing description of syntactic 
ergativity - a phenomenon that is rare among the world's language. It also shows 
that, unlike some other Australian languages, Warrongo has noun phrases that 
are configurational. Overall this volume shows what can be documented of a 
language that has only one speaker.
