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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMurrinhpatha 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Mansfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501524429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501524424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter Mouton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.66d","brand":"John Mansfield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46173051060479,"sku":"9781501524424","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7300a062-0a1e-424a-9d06-b9c4e5bc89b4.jpg?v=1727179842","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/murrinhpatha-morphology-and-phonology-john-mansfield-9781501524424","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
