Abstract
Ngarla, a critically endangered Pama-Nyungan language of the Pilbara region,
has received very little scholarly attention. This book presents the first
grammatical description of the language, and focuses particularly on the
complexity of verbs and verbal clauses. The grammar sketch is complemented
by a small collection of Ngarla texts, and a word list.
