Australian Languages: Their Nature and Development - Cambridge Language Surveys
Dixon, R. M. W. (La Trobe University, Victoria)
Aboriginal people have been in Australia for at least 40,000 years, speaking about 250 languages. Through examination of published and unpublished materials on each of the individual languages, Professor Dixon surveys the ways in which the languages vary typologically and presents a profile of this long-established linguistic area.
