Abstract:

Murrinhpatha is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken in a region of
tropical savannah and tidal inlets on the north coast of the continent. Some
3000 speakers live mostly in the towns of Wadeye and Nganmarriyanga, though
they maintain close ties to their traditional lands, totems and spirit
ancestors.
Murrinhpatha word structure is highly complex, and quite distinct from the
better-known Pama-Nyungan languages of central and southern Australia.
Murrinhpatha is characterised by prolific compounding, clitic clusters,
cumulative inflection, irregular allomorphy and phonological assimilation.
This book provides a comprehensive account of these phenomena, giving
particular attention to questions of morphological constituency, lexical
storage, and whether there is really such thing as a ‘word’ unit.
