CREATING NEW WORDS IN GAMILARAAY AND YUWAALARAAY Gianbattista (John) Giacon A thesis submitted to the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics of the University of New England, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Linguistics November 2001 Declaration The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text. I hereby declare that I have not submitted this material, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. ii Acknowledgements This thesis grew out of my work in Yuwaalaraay and Gamilaraay language revival. That work has depended on many people and I thank them. Uncle Ted Fields introduced me to Yuwaalaraay and shared with me the passion that he and others have for their language. The Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay informants and those who recorded them have provided much of the material used in the revival work on these languages. In particular I have worked with the tapes of Arthur Dodd and Fred Reece and Corinne Williams’ Grammar of Yuwaalaraay (1980). Peter Austin’s dictionaries provided a good introduction to this group of languages and to current orthography. This thesis has benefited from working with the many people involved in Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay programs. It has often been while working with them on school programs or songs or speeches that the need for new words has become obvious. The work of Steve Morelli with the Gumbaynggirr language provided a model for my work in Walgett. Steve Morelli, Anna Ash, Amanda Lissarague, Moy Hitchen, Marlene Scrimgeour and Louise Hercus commented on sections of drafts of the thesis. The Catholic Schools Office, Armidale and the Christian Brothers have sponsored and supported my work in Walgett since 1994. In particular the brothers who have lived and worked in Walgett have supported my work and study. Finally thanks to my supervisor, Nick Reid. His insightful comments and careful reading of drafts have added significantly to this work. iii Preface and abstract This work aims to develop strategies for forming new words in Gamilaraay and Yuwaalaraay, two languages from the north of New South Wales. It makes the premise that appropriate new words are formed according to three principles. Firstly the final decision about the adoption of proposed new words rests with Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay people. Secondly new words should be formed in the way traditional Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay formed new words. The third principle is to acknowledge that Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay (henceforth GY) are reviving languages in a situation where English is dominant. The first principle is discussed in 2.3 and has been used when new words have been adopted recently as part of GY revival. The main conclusions relating to the third principle are that borrowing from English is not a recommended strategy and that compounding and derivational word formation strategies are recommended because they produce words which are easier to learn. The second principle is the main focus of this work. Because there are no fluent GY speakers the grammar of GY word production has to be redeveloped. This involves both a review of historical sources and development of new grammar. The need for new words arises in the context of language revival, where new words are needed to talk about everyday concepts. The term ‘new word’ can be used in a number of ways. It can refer to a word rediscovered in the GY sources. It can mean a word created by derivational processes, but with predictable meaning. However in the context of this thesis ‘new word’ is normally used to refer to a consciously constructed word whose meaning is not recoverable from its component parts. Such a word has ‘idiosyncratic meaning’ in contrast to the ‘predictable meaning’ of many derivations. Sources of information about GY word production One source of information about GY word production is existing published GY grammatical material. This has a quite limited amount on word production processes such as nominalization. Word formation was not a main focus in previous grammatical work. iv A second source of word formation knowledge is the primary GY sources, including recently completed tape transcripts. Much of this thesis consists of examination of these sources. As a result a number of new word forming morphemes have been described. These include suffixes and bound morphemes found in compound words. A third source of information is languages closely related to GY. Much use is made of Donaldson’s Grammar of Wangaaybuwan (1980). It provides a starting point for the examination of much GY material. Other sources which provide some material include general works on lexical derivation, other grammars of Australian languages and material on word production in other languages which are being revived, such as Maori. Approaches adopted in the thesis The thesis makes a number of assumptions about word production grammar. One is that there is considerable information still to be found from the original sources. Another is that much can be learnt from a study of related languages, in particular the closely related ‘no- having’ languages (see 1.1.2.1). Another assumption is that for GY language revival to continue a ‘new GY’ grammar needs to develop. This thesis is, in a very limited way, programmatic, pointing out some areas for further investigation in GY (see e.g. 4.2.4) and in related languages. Knowledge about language can be in a codified form, in the rules and paradigms typical of published grammars. It can also be in instinctive form. This second is the knowledge that all fluent speakers have. The thesis, as well as listing a number of rules and morphemes, often gives many examples of them. This is to help develop a ‘feel’ for the language, some of the instinctual knowledge of the language. The thesis also gives many examples of potential new words. When it does that the aim is generally not to propose a particular word, but rather to illustrate a process. In fact often a v number of meanings is given for new words, and a number of new words are available to translate any given English word. Summary Chapter One provides background information. It begins with information about the languages, the GY people, and recent language revival efforts. A summary of GY grammar follows. The last section is a discussion of the information that is available about GY word formation, firstly in published grammars and then in original sources, especially the tapes. Chapter Two discusses principles for the formation of new GY words and the roles of the language owners and linguists in the formation and adoption of the words. Chapters Three to Five consider the main word formation strategies in detail. These are mainly derivational processes. Chapter Three is about the development of new verbs. It contains a section on Wangaaybuwan verb morphology since that has lead to increased understanding of GY verbs. The main strategy recommended for forming new verb stems is a specialized type of compounding (for other types of compounding see chapter five). This involves analysing many existing verbs as historical compounds and the description of a number of morphemes found in these compounds. These morphemes can then be used for forming new verb stems. Chapter Four considers strategies for the formation of new nominals. The first strategy is suffixation of existing nominals. New nominals can be formed with previously defined suffixes, newly defined suffixes and suffixes that can be borrowed from Wangaaybuwan. The second nominal-formation strategy considered is reduplication, which is quite common in GY. The third strategy is nominalisation of verbs. This can be used but is problematic since there are relatively few examples in the corpus. As well some verb ‘nominalising’ processes result in words whose syntax is not that of a simple nominal. vi Chapter Five considers other word formation strategies. The first of these is compounding other than the specialized verb compounding considered in Chapter three. The second is borrowing, and then a number of minor word formation strategies are considered. Compounding, and borrowing from Australian languages can be major sources of new words. Chapter Six summarizes the word formation strategies recommended. Appendix 1 is a list of Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay compound words. Appendix 2 is a list of reduplicated roots found in Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay. Appendix 3 is a list of Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay borrowings from English. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements iii Preface and abstract iv List of maps and tables xii Abbreviations and conventions xiii 1 Background to Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay Revival 1 1.1 Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay and related languages 1 1.1.1 The Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay area and languages 1 1.1.1.1 Language names and areas 1 1.1.1.2 Variation in Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay 3 1.1.1.3 Information about the languages 4 1.1.2 Languages neighbouring Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay 5 1.1.2.1 The related ‘no-having’ languages 6 1.1.3 The Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay language sources 9 1.1.4 Contact History 10 1.1.5 Recent Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay language revival 12 1.1.5.1 Language revival programs 12 1.1.5.2 Changes in the use of GY 13 1.1.5.3 Factors influencing Gamilaraay - Yuwaalaraay language revival

    9 Maam ngawaala: biindu ngaawa nyanggan bindaayili. Language centres: keeping language strong Anna Ash, Pauline Hooler, Gary Williams and Ken Walker1 Abstract We begin by describing the history and main activities of Muurrbay Aboriginal Language and Culture Co-operative and Many Rivers Aboriginal Language Centre. Comments from Elders, language teachers and researchers are included to reflect the opinions of a diverse range of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. We discuss some aspects of research, publishing, language education and information technology. Finally we make some recommendations for groups who are just starting out on this challenging but rewarding road. This volume was at least partially inspired by The green book of language revitalization in practice. There is a chapter in that book called ‘Diversity in Local Language Maintenance and Restoration: A Reason for Optimism’. It emphasises that there is a positive future for the revitalisation of Aboriginal languages: There is reason for optimism because local language communities all over the world are taking it upon themselves to act on behalf of their imperilled linguistic traditions in full understanding of, and in spite of, the realistic perception that the cards are stacked against them. There is, in effect an international movement in which local communities work in defiance of the forces pitted against their embattled languages. It has something of the character of a modern miracle, if you think about it – while they share the goal of promoting a local language, these groups are essentially independent of one another, coming together sometimes to compare notes, but operating in effective separation. Two factors in our optimism are the very existence of the movement itself and what is sometimes decried as a flaw in the movement: the feature of 1 All authors are from the Muurrbay Aboriginal Language and Culture Co-operative & Many Rivers Aboriginal Language Centre.

  • 19 Language Revitalisation: Community and School Programs Working Together
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Sydney eScholarship 19 Language revitalisation: community and school programs working together Diane McNaboe1 and Susan Poetsch2 Abstract Since it was published in 2003 the New South Wales Aboriginal Languages K– 10 Syllabus has led to a substantial increase in the number of school programs operating in the state. It has supported the quality of those programs, and the status and recognition given to Aboriginal languages and cultures in the curriculum. School programs also complement community initiatives to revitalise, strengthen and share Aboriginal languages in New South Wales. As linguistic and cultural knowledge increases among adult community members, school programs provide a channel for them to continue to develop their own skills and knowledge and to pass on this heritage. This paper takes Wiradjuri as an example of language revitalisation, and describes achievements in adult language learning and the process of developing a school program with strong input from community. A brief history of Wiradjuri language revitalisation Wiradjuri is one of the central inland New South Wales (NSW) languages (Wafer & Lissarrague 2008, pp. 215–25). In recent decades various language teams have investigated and analysed archival sources for Wiradjuri and collected information from both written and oral sources (Büchli 2006, pp. 58–60). These teams include Grant and Rudder (2001a, b, c, d; 2005), Hosking and McNicol (1993), McNicol and Hosking (1994) and Donaldson (1984), as well as Christopher Kirkbright, George Fisher and Cheryl Riley, who have been working with Wiradjuri people in and near Sydney.

  • Traditional Language Used in Production
    Traditional Language Used in Production 75 Traditional Language Used in Production There were several dialects spoken within the Border Rivers and Gwydir catchments. They included the Gamilaraay, Yuwalaraay and Yuwalayaay dialects as spoken by members of the Kamilaroi (Gomeroi) nation. The Nganyaywana language was spoken by members of the Anaiwan (or Eneewin) nation, whose land extends south from the border with the Banbai nation (near Guyra) towards Uralla and westward towards Tingha. Other notable languages within the area included Yukumbal (Jukumbal), from the Bundarra/Tingha/Inverell area, and Ngarabal, which was spoken around the Glen Innes area. This book uses and provides information on a few of the dialects spoken within the catchment. It is not intended for this book to be a language reference book, but the use of language names is included to help keep our language alive and for educational purposes. In some cases Aboriginal words have not been included as it has not been possible to collect detailed information on the relevant dialects. This book uses words and references primarily relating to the Gamilaraay, Yuwalaraay, Yuwalayaay, Banbai and Nganyaywana dialects (White 2010 pers. comm.).

He was educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham, and Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A. 1905, M. A. 1909), graduating with first class honours in the moral sciences tripos. He studied psychology under W. H. R. Rivers, who, with A. C. Haddon, led him towards social anthropology. Elected Anthony Wilkin student in ethnology in 1906 (and 1909), he spent two years in the field in the Andaman Islands. A fellow of Trinity (1908 - 1914), he lectured twice a week on ethnology at the London School of Economics and visited Paris where he met Emily Durkheim. At Cambridge on 19 April 1910 he married Winifred Marie Lyon; they were divorced in 1938. Radcliffe-Brown (then known as AR Brown) joined E. L. Grant Watson and Daisy Bates in an expedition to the North-West of Western Australia studying the remnants of Aboriginal tribes for some two years from 1910, but friction developed between Brown and Mrs. Bates. Brown published his research from that time in an article titled “Three Tribes of Western Australia”, The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 43, (Jan. - Jun., 1913), pp. 143-194. At the 1914 meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Melbourne, Daisy Bates accused Brown of gross plagiarism.
