  • Noun Phrase Constituency in Australian Languages: a Typological Study
    Linguistic Typology 2016; 20(1): 25–80 Dana Louagie and Jean-Christophe Verstraete Noun phrase constituency in Australian languages: A typological study DOI 10.1515/lingty-2016-0002 Received July 14, 2015; revised December 17, 2015 Abstract: This article examines whether Australian languages generally lack clear noun phrase structures, as has sometimes been argued in the literature. We break up the notion of NP constituency into a set of concrete typological parameters, and analyse these across a sample of 100 languages, representing a significant portion of diversity on the Australian continent. We show that there is little evidence to support general ideas about the absence of NP structures, and we argue that it makes more sense to typologize languages on the basis of where and how they allow “classic” NP construal, and how this fits into the broader range of construals in the nominal domain. Keywords: Australian languages, constituency, discontinuous constituents, non- configurationality, noun phrase, phrase-marking, phrasehood, syntax, word- marking, word order 1 Introduction It has often been argued that Australian languages show unusual syntactic flexibility in the nominal domain, and may even lack clear noun phrase struc- tures altogether – e. g., in Blake (1983), Heath (1986), Harvey (2001: 112), Evans (2003a: 227–233), Campbell (2006: 57); see also McGregor (1997: 84), Cutfield (2011: 46–50), Nordlinger (2014: 237–241) for overviews and more general dis- cussion of claims to this effect. This idea is based mainly on features

  • Threatened Plants and Animals in Kakadu National Park: a Review and Recommendations for Management
    Threatened plants and animals in Kakadu National Park: a review and recommendations for management John Woinarski Project NHTKNP01 Report to Parks Australia North. September 2004. J.C.Z. Woinarski Northern Territory Department of Infrastructure Planning and Environment PO Box 496 Palmerston Northern Territory, 0831 Cover photograph: Arnhem rock-rat Zyzomys maini (photo: Greg Miles) SUMMARY This report comprises three main sections. The first section is an introduction that lists the currently recognised threatened plant and animal species that occur within Kakadu National Park; describes the process and criteria for listing; notes the substantial discrepancies in lists between the last comprehensive review of Kakadu’s threatened species (1995) and this report; and notes also the substantial discrepancy between national and Northern Territory listings for threatened species occurring in Kakadu. The second, and largest, section provides more specific information on each threatened species, noting in particular the status of each species within Kakadu National Park, as well as providing a broader conservation and management context. The third section collates information on management and threats across the set of threatened species, and draws research and management priorities for Kakadu National Park. The species occurring in Kakadu National Park that are listed as threatened under national and/or Northern Territory legislation are tabulated below. The current listing comprises a total of 16 plant species (of which 6 are listed at national level) and 31 animal species (of which 16 are listed at national level). An additional plant species has been nominated to be added at the next revision of the NT list. Information is also presented on four threatened plant species with records from near Kakadu, and considered reasonably likely to occur within Kakadu.

  • Technology and Bilingual Education: Helping Yolŋu Students Crack the Alphabetic Code
    Technology and Bilingual Education: Helping Yolŋu Students Crack the Alphabetic Code Gemma Alejandra Morales https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1123-0330 Ph.D. Arts Candidate October, 2018 School of Languages and Linguistics This thesis is being submitted in total fulfilment of the degree. ABSTRACT Phonological awareness and letter knowledge have a significant and causal relationship with early reading for readers of alphabetic languages. While the existing research regarding the emergent reading skills of mainstream Western populations is vast, little is known about the development of literacy skills among children coming from cultures transmitted primarily through oral tradition. This study examined the emergent literacy skills of students attending a remote bilingual Indigenous school in the Northern Territory, Australia. The study included all Transition (kindergarten) to Grade 4 students enrolled at the participating school. This thesis proposes that phonological awareness, letter knowledge, and early word reading are closely related for children learning to read in Dhuwaya and that phonological awareness training can facilitate the acquisition of early reading ability in Dhuwaya. A Dhuwaya language game-like iPad application software was used as a phonological awareness intervention tool. This Intervention App was specifically designed and created for this thesis project. The Intervention App includes 24 levels that progressively increase in difficulty. Each level consists of a sound segmentation activity, a letter knowledge activity, and a sound blending activity. Letter knowledge, phonological awareness (at both the syllable and phoneme level), and word recognition skills were measured at three separate testing times: immediately before the start of the intervention, immediately after the intervention ended, and six months after the intervention ended.

  • The Mamurrng Ceremony of Western Arnhem Land Reuben Brown
    1 A Different Mode of Exchange: The Mamurrng Ceremony of Western Arnhem Land Reuben Brown A sensory overload ‘Hold on!’ I shout to my partner Rachel and yabok (K: sister)1 Rhonda, as we hit a wave that almost sends us flying over the side of our tin boat. We grip the edge of the boat tightly, and I check to see whether the recording gear at my feet is still dry. We are now completely at the whim of the ocean as our boat skips along the waves, tracking from Sandy Creek, on the mainland of Arnhem Land in the north coast of Australia, to Warruwi, Goulburn Island—where the Mamurrng (diplomacy or exchange ceremony; see Berndt 1951: 156) will take place. Back in the Aboriginal community of Gunbalanya, where my adopted family reside and where we began our journey, the surrounding rocks of the Arnhem Land plateau are baking and the wetlands drying out to a crust, as the hot weather of the dry season continues to scorch the earth, with no rain in sight. But out here, the wind and spray of the ocean provides welcome 1 Throughout this article, significant words relating to western Arnhem Land songs in the Aboriginal languages of Kunwinjku (K) and Mawng (M) are indicated in italics (except for proper nouns such as the names of people and song-sets). English translations are glossed in brackets the first time the word appears in the text. I adopt standard orthographies for both Kunwinjku and Mawng. 41 A DISTINCTIVE VOICE IN ThE ANTIPODES relief from the harsh build-up of heat.
