This volume is largely based on the rich data recorded from the last fluent speaker. It details the phonology, morphology and syntax of the language. In particular, it provides a truly scrutinizing description of syntactic ergativity - a phenomenon that is rare among the world's language. It also shows that, unlike some other Australian languages, Warrongo has noun phrases that are configurational. Overall this volume shows what can be documented of a language that has only one speaker.Mouton grammar library ;53.Warungu languageGrammarAboriginal AustraliansAustralia, NorthernLanguagesAustraliaLanguagesElectronic books.Warungu languageGrammar.Aboriginal AustraliansLanguages.499/.15EE 1820rvkTsunoda Tasaku879437MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465265303321A grammar of Warrongo2477230UNINA
