Isi artikel

Like many Australian Aboriginal languages, Gooniyandi (a non- Pama-Nyungan language of the Kimberley region of Western Australia) shows various morphological means for deriving dyadic and polyadic kin terms- where the former denote pairs of individuals in some kin relation to one another, the latter, groups of three or more individuals in such relationships. The notion of propositus is shown to be fundamental to an understanding of the meanings of these stem-forming morphemes and processes, and to the pragmatics of use of the derived kin terms. An attempt is made to characterize these meanings, and to compare and contrast them with the meanings of constructions involving conjunctions.
