Chapter 12, on Dyirbal, has been added in order to include an accountof a language which lacks complement clauses and relies entirely on complementation strategies. AnearlierversionofChapter1hadbeencirculatedtocontributors,toensure that the detailed studies of complementation clauses and complementation strategies in individual languages were cast in terms of the same typological parameters.ThisisthethirdmonographintheseriesExplorationsinlinguistic typology,whichisdevotedtovolumesfromworkshopssponsoredbyRCLT. The weekof the workshopwas an exhilarating experience, with the parti- cipantsassistingeachotherinunderstandingandexplaining how individual languages work, and with the group as a whole coming to grips with the general nature of and mechanisms for complementation. All of the authors havepursuedintensiveinvestigationsoflanguages,someofthemlittleknown intheliterature.Theywereaskedtowriteintermsofbasiclinguistictheory— thecumulativeframeworkinwhichmostdescriptivegrammarsarecast—and to avoid formalisms (which come and go with such frequency that any statementmadeintermsofthemwillsoonbecomedatedandinaccessible).

This volume owes its existence to the vision and care of Professor Michael Osborne, Vice-Chancellor and President of La Trobe University. He sponsored the establishment of RCLT within La Trobe’s Institute for AdvancedStudy,andspeciWedthatitsactivitiesshouldincludeInternational Workshops with stringent quality control. Professor Osborne opens each workshop, launches our volumes, and every year hosts a convivial dinner for theparticipants.
