This book is a description of an Australian language from the Great Sandy Desert
of north Western Australia. It is a description of a language that has a detailed
case system, complex cross-referencing by bound pronouns and a word order
that is determined by pragmatics rather than syntax. The description benefits
from the lively natural language examples used by the principal language
consultant.
By comparisons with other languages of the Western Desert the study highlights
some of the features that group the northern Western Desert languages and
distinguish them from those in the south. It also draws some comparisons
with the northern neighbours of the Western Desert belonging to the Marrngu
and NTgumpin groups.
Barbara Jones developed an interest in Australian languages while working as
a teacher in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. She studied linguistics
as an undergraduate at the University of Western Australia and then worked
for regional indigenous language centres on language maintenance projects.
Needing a clearer understanding of the unique structure of Australia s
indigenous languages she enrolled for her doctorate at the University of Sydney
and worked with
Nada Rawlins
and others in Fitzroy Crossing. This grammar
of Wangkajunga is a result of that study. Barbara has worked with speakers on
language maintenance projects for several Western Australian languages.
