Murrinhpatha is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken in a
region of tropical savannah and tidal inlets on the north coast of
the continent. 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. Murrinhpatha 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.
