Delve into the intricacies of Wagiman, a distinctive Australian Aboriginal language, with this seminal work on coverbs and complex predicates. Uncover the function of Wagiman’s unique open class of “coverbs” that convey essential verbal and adjectival meanings, often partnering with inflecting verbs to forge complex predicates. This essential linguistic analysis reveals how these pairings shape semantics and argument structure. Ideal for linguistics scholars and students in India, this book provides a rigorous formal account within Lexical Functional Grammar, offering profound insights into language structure and the mechanics of predicate formation.
