Description

This title deals with systems of verb classification in Australian Aboriginal languages, with particular focus on languages of the north-west.

It also makes some proposals concerning the historical origins and grammaticization of these systems and suggestions regarding the grammatical relations involved. In addition, an attempt to situate the phenomenon of verb classification within the context of related verbal phenomena such as serial verb constructions, nominal incorporation and complex predicates.
