Notes

The data on which this paper is based were collected in Onslow between January and June 1979. Fieldwork was supported by the Australian National University.

I am indebted to Percy Tucker and Herbert Parker, whose unflagging enthusiasm and indefatigable patience and good humour in teaching their language to an, at times, very slow student, made this paper possible. Special thanks also to Frances Morphy for attempting to rectify my knowledge of anthropological theory, and to Bob Dixon, Harold Koch, John Haviland and Bob Tonkinson for comments on an earlier draft. Any errors which remain are, of course, my own.
