Warrongo is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language that used to
be spoken in northeast Australia. This volume is largely based on
the rich data recorded from the last fluent speaker. It details the
phonology, morphology and syntax of the language. In particular, it
provides a truly scrutinizing description of syntactic ergativity -
a phenomenon that is rare among the world's language. It also shows
that, unlike some other Australian languages, Warrongo has noun
phrases that are configurational. Overall this volume shows what
can be documented of a language that has only one speaker.
