Physical description

Excellent fieldwork manual detailing methods of collecting and analysing Australian languages, including chapters on phonology, lexicon & semantics, grammatical categories, and syntax.

Information on phonological transcription uses symbols that are now generally obsolete, but are found in many key studies conducted around the time of publication.
