ABSTRACT
In the previous four chapters we described the structure and meaning of words and the ways they can be put together to form phrases referring to things and events. In this chapter we look beyond words and phrases to the units that can be constructed from them to make complete utterances, Clauses and Sentences (see §5.3). The grammatical patterns and structures involved in these units are even more complex and diverse than those we encountered in the formation of words and phrases, although there are similarities, some of which distinguish Kimberley languages from languages of other parts of the continent.
