Sobre este artículo
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (CUP), 1980. 1st ed.. Paperback thick octavo, good condition, tables, maps, light foxing edges, spine ends little scuffed, few light creases covers, pages & inside covers lightly scuffed, bottom corner covers creased, minor edgewear & spinewear. Heavy, and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. 547 pp. This is a study of more than 200 different Aboriginal languages of Australia. Professor Dixon deals with the general character of these languages, and their use and role in Australia today. He also states that this is the first-ever study of their genetic relationships, probable origins and historical development, and their grammatical and phonological behaviour. This very special book conveys to the interested Australian something of the fascinating linguistic heritage of this country, now and for some time past, which is at risk of disappearing.
