The Dynamics of Nominal Classification - Productive and Lexicalised Uses of Gender Agreement in Mawng (Hardcover): Ruth Singer The Dynamics of Nominal Classification - Productive and Lexicalised Uses of Gender Agreement in Mawng (Hardcover)
Ruth Singer
R3,768 Discovery Miles 37 680 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The use of grammatical gender in the Australian language Mawng calls into question prevailing ideas about the functions of nominal classification systems. Mawng's gender system has a strong semantic basis and plays an important role in the construction of meaning in discourse. Gender agreement in verbs is frequently lexicalized, creating idioms called lexicalised agreement verbs that are structurally similar to noun-verb idioms. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in nominal classification or cross-linguistic approaches to idioms.

Indigenous Multilingualism at Warruwi - Cultivating Linguistic Diversity in an Australian Community (Paperback): Ruth Singer Indigenous Multilingualism at Warruwi - Cultivating Linguistic Diversity in an Australian Community (Paperback)
Ruth Singer
R1,124 Discovery Miles 11 240 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This book is an exploration of the role of language at Warruwi Community, a remote Indigenous settlement in northern Australia. It explores how language use and people's ideas about language are embedded in contemporary Indigenous life there. Using an ethnographic approach, the book examines what language at Warruwi means in the context of the history of the community, ongoing social and political changes and the continuing importance of ancestral traditions. Children growing up at Warruwi still learn to speak many small Indigenous languages. This is remarkable not just in the Australian context, where many Indigenous languages are no longer spoken, but around the world as this kind of multilingualism in small languages persists only in a few remaining pockets. The way that people use many languages in their daily life at Warruwi reveals how high levels of linguistic diversity can be maintained in a small community. This detailed study of the creation of linguistic diversity is relevant to sociolinguistics, linguistic typology, historical linguistics and evolutionary linguistics. More generally, this book is for linguists, anthropologists and anyone with an interest in contemporary Australian Indigenous lives.
