The first two introductory chapters lay out the basics of the formal framework assumed by Nordlinger and then go on to provide an overview and summary of the nonconfigurationality issue that has long accompanied discussions of the structure and characteristics of Australian languages. Nordlinger situates her views on case squarely …
