A Grammar of Gaagudju (Contributions to the Sociology of Language)

This grammar provides an overall description of Gaagudju, a now nearly extinct language of northern Australia. Gaagudju differs from most previously described Australian languages in a number of ways. It shows marked differences in the realizations of stressed and unstressed syllables. It has complex systems of prefixation as well as suffixation. There is a clear distinction between productive and unproductive morphology, with a large amount of the morphology being unproductive. While word order is generally free, strictly ordered phrasal compounding structures are important.Mark Harvey is the author of 'A Grammar of Gaagudju (Contributions to the Sociology of Language)', published 2002 under ISBN 9783110172485 and ISBN 3110172488.
