This grammar offers a comprehensive description of Kuuk Thaayorre,
a Paman language spoken on the west coast of Cape York Peninsula,
Australia. The Paman languages of Cape York have long been
recognized for their exhibition of considerable phonological,
semantic and morphosyntactic change (e.g. Hale 1964, Dixon 1980).
Yet there has until now been no published full reference grammar of
a language from this area (some excellent dictionaries, theses and
sketch grammars notwithstanding, e.g. Hall 1972, Alpher 1973, 1991,
Crowley 1983, Kilham et al. 1986, Sutton 1995, Smith & Johnson
2000). On the basis of elicited data, narrative and
semi-spontaneous conversation recorded between 2002 and 2008, as
well as archival materials, this grammar details the phonetics and
phonology, morphosyntax, lexical and constructional semantics and
pragmatics of one of the few indigenous Australian languages still
used as a primary means of communication. Kuuk Thaayorre possesses
features of typological interest at each of these levels.
