Australian Aboriginal languages have many interesting grammatical
characteristics that challenge some of the central assumptions of
current linguistic theory. These languages exhibit many unusual
morphosyntactic characteristics that have not yet been adequately
incorporated into current linguistic theory. This volume focuses on
the complex properties of case morphology in these
nonconfigurational languages, including extensive case stacking and
the use of case to mark tense/aspect/mood. While problematic for
many syntactic approaches, these case properties are given a
natural and unified account in the lexicalist model of constructive
case developed in this book, which allows case morphology to
construct the larger syntactic context independently of phrase
structure.
