This study covers a number of topics that are prominent in the
grammars of Australian Aboriginal languages, especially ergativity
and manifestations of the hierarchy that runs from the speech-act
participants down to inanimates. This hierarchy shows up in case
marking, number marking and agreement, advancement and
cross-referencing. Chapter 1 provides an overall picture of
Australian languages. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 deal with case systems,
including voice alternations and other advancements. Chapter 5
deals with the distribution of case marking within the noun phrase.
Chapter 6 deals with systems that allow the cross-referencing of
bound pronouns. Chapter 7 deals with clauses which appear to have
more than one verb. Chapter 8 deals with compound and complex
sentences. Chapter 9 deals with word order, and emphasises a theme
introduced in Chapter 5, namely the widespread use of discontinuous
phrases. Chapter 10 draws together ergativity and various
manifestations of the hierarchy, and attempts to interpret their
distribution. The final section provides an interesting hypothesis
about the evolution of core grammar in Australia.
