Descrizione

Einband berieben. Papierbedingt leicht gebr�t. - The Western Desert language is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken by an unknown number of people (possibly by a number in the low thousands) living in the, so-called, "desert areas" of South and Western Australia, including the Great Victoria Desert and the Gibson Deserts and in the central west of the Northern Territory. This is an "agglutinative" type of language in which lateral morphemes, such as tense and aspect affixes, subject indicators, bound pronominal subjects and -objects, various modifiers and inflectional formations, negatives and pluralizers, occur as SUFFIXES to the central, or stem, morphemes. The suffixing of the lateral morphemes makes a present-day distinction between the Western Desert language and the majority of Kimberley and Arnhem Land languages, which are notably "prefixing" in nature.
