Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

Paperback now available!

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.
