Abstract:

This grammar offers a comprehensive description of Kuuk Thaayorre, a Paman
language spoken on the west coast of Cape York Peninsula, Australia. The Paman
languages of Cape York have long been recognized for their exhibition of
considerable phonological, semantic and morphosyntactic change (e.g. Hale
1964, Dixon 1980). Yet there has until now been no published full reference
grammar of a language from this area (some excellent dictionaries, theses and
sketch grammars notwithstanding, e.g. Hall 1972, Alpher 1973, 1991, Crowley
1983, Kilham et al. 1986, Sutton 1995, Smith & Johnson 2000).

On the basis of elicited data, narrative and semi-spontaneous conversation
recorded between 2002 and 2008, as well as archival materials, this grammar
details the phonetics and phonology, morphosyntax, lexical and constructional
semantics and pragmatics of one of the few indigenous Australian languages
still used as a primary means of communication. Kuuk Thaayorre possesses
features of typological interest at each of these levels.
