This volume provides cutting-edge research on a wide range of questions in linguistics research, mostly centred on Australian Indigenous languages. Written by world-leading experts, the chapters take a fresh look at current questions in each topic, inspired by the work of Australian linguist Jane Simpson.

The chapters have implications for linguistic theory in the areas of historical linguistics, morphosyntax, semantics, the lexicon, language acquisition and issues in languages in education, and renewal of endangered languages.

This volume is essential reading for students and experienced researchers alike, with interests in theoretical and applied linguistics, especially in topics and issues related to Australian Indigenous languages.
