More about the book

Exploring the unique grammatical gender system of the Australian language Mawng, this book challenges existing notions of nominal classification. It highlights how the semantic basis of Mawng's gender influences meaning in discourse and examines the phenomenon of lexicalised agreement verbs, which resemble noun-verb idioms. The text is particularly relevant for those interested in linguistic classification and cross-linguistic idiomatic expressions.
