Word Order 1: word order in Ngarla (Learning about Aboriginal languages)

Word order in the Pama-Nyungan languages of Australia, what’s it really like? It so happens that in many of the languages, it is fairly unrestrained. Here I present Ngarla word order, the conclusions in the video being based on a study of this very thing I made as a Ph.D.-student. (And Ngarla is a Pama-Nyungan language of the Pilbara region of Western Australia.) Speaking of the focus of a statement (which I do in this video), by the way, I note that yours truly seems to be slightly out of focus in this video. Unfortunate. #AustralianLanguages, #AboriginalLanguages, #AustralianAboriginalLanguages, #AboriginalWords, #WordOrder, #Grammar, #Grammaticalization, #Verbs, #Pronoun, #Nominal, #CommonNouns, #Names, #Case, #CaseMarking, #Transitivity, #Focus, #Subject, #Agent, #Object, #Patient, #Ngarla, #Nyangumarta, #Pilbara, #PamaNyungan
