Abstract:

Australian languages form a large genetic group with many interesting
and distinctive phonological and morphological properties. Written by
two experts in the field, this is the first book-length treatment of
this topic, providing an in-depth discussion of a wealth of
little-known data on the sound systems and word structures of
Australian Indigenous languages. It includes a critical evaluation of
theoretical approaches from the 1950s up to the current day, including
recent experimental, psycholinguistic and processing-based research.
Each chapter addresses a major aspect of phonology, including the
segmental inventories, complex phonotactic systems, alternations,
prosodic phonology and morphology, the behaviour of phonological
domains, and the unusual nature of sound change in Australia. The
authors also add to this their own groundbreaking findings, and frame
each chapter to inform future phonological research and theory. It is
essential reading for scholars and students in phonology, phonetics,
speech science, morphology, and language typology.

Written In: English (eng)
