- Summary:
- In the first full published grammar of a language in the Nyulnyulan family, Bowern (linguistics, Yale U.) presents a broad reference to Bardi, the northernmost language in the family, and now spoken by fewer than 10 people in the far northwest of Australia. She covers all the conventional aspects of language analysis, including, phonetics and phonology, nouns and nominal morphology, verbal predicate structure, agreement morphology, adverbs and particles, and clause combining. Appendices provide a basic vocabulary list, prefix tables, light verbs, information on speakers and texts, and nine traditional and modern texts.
