Who Said Polysynthetic Languages Avoid Subordination? Multiple Subordination Strategies in Dalabon* A version of this paper was presented at the Blackwood workshop on Australian languages, March 2002; I thank the participants in that workshop for their comments and discussion, as well as Rachel Nordlinger and two anonymous AJL reviewers. I also gratefully acknowledge the following people and institutions for supporting the research on Dalabon reported here: my Dalabon teachers †David Kalbuma, †Daisy Bordok, †Jack Chadum, †Don Buninjawa, Peter Marnibirru, Alice Bohm, and Maggie Tukumba; the Australian Research Council and Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation for funding my fieldtrips to Arnhem Land since 1991 (under the auspices of Australian Research Grants ‘Non-Pama-Nyungan Languages of Northern Australia’, ‘Polysemy and Semantic Change in Australian Languages’, ‘Intonation and Prosody in Australian Languages’, ‘Reciprocals across Languages’, and the Dalabon dictionary project); Barry Alpher and Francesca Merlan for making available their unpublished fieldnotes and other materials, and Murray Garde and Francesca Merlan for valuable discussions about Dalabon during and after joint field-trips. Much of the data in this paper derives from on-going work with Francesca Merlan, undertaken with the ultimate goal of producing a full description of the language.
