This volume examines the syllabification of the language, among other aspects, arguing that Ngalakgan has a quantity-sensitive stress system that is hitherto undescribed and that contradicts the predictions of current Moraic Theory.","brand":"Centre for the Study of Language \u0026 Information","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51535281324375,"sku":"9781575865621","price":34.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781575865621.jpg?v=1755860388","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/word-structure-in-ngalakgan-9781575865621","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
