This volume provides the first comprehensive description of Bilinarra, a Pama-Nyungan
language of the Victoria River District of the Northern Territory (Australia). Bilinarra
is a highly endangered language with only one speaker remaining in 2012 and no child
learners. The materials on which this grammatical description is based were collected
by the authors over a 20 year period from the last first-language speakers of the
language, most of whom have since passed away. Bilinarra is a member of the Ngumpin
subgroup of Pama-Nyungan which forms a part of the Ngumpin-Yapa family, which also
includes Warlpiri. It is non-configurational, with nominals commonly omitted, arguments
cross-referenced by pronominal clitics and word order grammatically free and largely
determined by information structure. In this grammatical description much attention
is paid to its morphosyntax, including case morphology, the pronominal clitic system
and complex predicates. A particular strength of the volume is the provision of sound
files for example sentences, allowing the reader access to the language itself
