Much of the research into second position has developed formal explanations for this recurring pattern, based on interactions between morphosyntax and phonology. In this article I explore how pragmatics of information packaging interacts with these other features in the development of such morphosyntactic architecture in three North-Central Australian languages: Warlpiri, Wambaya, and Garrwa.}, aiatsis_code = {C19, N155, C15}, aiatsis_reference_language = {Garrwa, Wambaya, WARLPIRI}, citekeys = {cldf4:typ_Mushin_Second-Australia}, doi = {10.1515/lingty.2006.010}, hhtype = {specific_feature}, inlg = {English [eng]}, isreferencedby = {cldf4}, issn = {1430-0532}, keywords = {Australian languages, auxiliary, clitic, clitic cluster, cliticisation, focus, Garrwa, grammaticalisation, information packaging, pronoun, second position, tense-aspect-modality, Wambaya, Warlpiri, word order}, lgcode = {Garawa [wrk], Wambaya [wmb], Warlpiri [wbp]}, macro_area = {Australia}, ozbib_id = {4258}, ozbibreftype = {17}, src = {cldf, degruyter, hh, ozbib} }
