2020 Anti-scope prefix order and zero-marked obliques: Unusual outcomes of a grammaticalization pathway Diachronica 37:2, pp. 133–177 | Article
A number of indigenous languages of northern Australia have complex systems of noun class prefixation incorporating the formal realization of case or topicality, as well as class. The markers of case and topicality occur inside the marking of class, in an unexpected position according to… read more
