  • Than One Way to Catch a Frog: a Study of Children's
    More than one way to catch a frog: A study of children’s discourse in an Australian contact language Samantha Disbray Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Department of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics University of Melbourne December, 2008 Declaration This is to certify that: a. this thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD b. due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all material used c. the text is less than 100,000 words, exclusive of tables, figures, maps, examples, appendices and bibliography ____________________________ Samantha Disbray Abstract Children everywhere learn to tell stories. One important aspect of story telling is the way characters are introduced and then moved through the story. Telling a story to a naïve listener places varied demands on a speaker. As the story plot develops, the speaker must set and re-set these parameters for referring to characters, as well as the temporal and spatial parameters of the story. To these cognitive and linguistic tasks is the added social and pragmatic task of monitoring the knowledge and attention states of their listener. The speaker must ensure that the listener can identify the characters, and so must anticipate their listener’s knowledge and on-going mental image of the story. How speakers do this depends on cultural conventions and on the resources of the language(s) they speak. For the child speaker the development narrative competence involves an integration, on-line, of a number of skills, some of which are not fully established until the later childhood years.

  • How Understanding the Aboriginal Kinship System Can Inform Better
    How understanding the Aboriginal Kinship system can inform better policy and practice: social work research with the Larrakia and Warumungu Peoples of the Northern Territory Submitted by KAREN CHRISTINE KING BSW A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Social Work Faculty of Arts and Science Australian Catholic University December 2011 2 STATEMENT OF AUTHORSHIP AND SOURCES This thesis contains no material published elsewhere or extracted in whole or in part from a thesis by which I have qualified for or been awarded another degree or diploma. No other person‟s work has been used without due acknowledgement in the main text of the thesis. This thesis has not been submitted for the award of any degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution.

Karen Christine King BSW 9th March 2012 3 4 ABSTRACT This qualitative inquiry explored the kinship system of both the Larrakia and Warumungu peoples of the Northern Territory with the aim of informing social work theory and practice in Australia. It also aimed to return information to the knowledge holders for the purposes of strengthening Aboriginal ways of knowing, being and doing. This study is presented as a journey, with the oral story-telling traditions of the Larrakia and Warumungu embedded and laced throughout. The kinship system is unpacked in detail, and knowledge holders explain its benefits in their lives along with their support for sharing this knowledge with social workers.

  • Issues in Indigenous Digital Heritage Projects
    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), Feature 3721–3738 1932–8036/2019FEA0002 Digitizing the Ancestors: Issues in Indigenous Digital Heritage Projects NICOLE STRATHMAN University of California, Riverside, USA Between 2002 and 2007, several university researchers (Christen, Ridington, and Hennessy; Shorter, Srinivasan, Verran, and Christie) collaborated with Indigenous communities to create digital heritage projects. Although the initial build and methodology surrounding the projects are well documented, the current status and end results are not. Now that a decade has passed since their production, this article examines the issues that have arisen with these Indigenous digital heritage projects. The primary emphasis is on sustainability, and the discussion concentrates on outdated software, funding problems, and maintenance issues that have afflicted these projects over the years. This study concludes that researchers need to take sustainability practices into consideration when creating specialized digital heritage projects. Keywords: digital heritage, virtual exhibition, content management system, sustainability, traditional knowledge, Indigenous, Native American, First Nations, Aboriginal Indigenous communities with access to information and communications technologies (ICTs) have used digital media to share their tangible and intangible culture and to store their vast bodies of knowledge.1 With a few clicks, the wisdom of their ancestors can be accessed by the world or by a select few members. Whether this knowledge takes the form of the visual arts, traditional storytelling and songs, repatriated objects, or digital documents, the issues remain the same: What material is being displayed? Who has access? How is the site maintained? University researchers have worked with Indigenous communities in creating digital heritage projects to help address these questions (Christen, 2008; Ridington & Hennessy, 2008; Shorter, 2006; Srinivasan, 2007; Verran & Christie, 2007).

  • 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

  • How Warumungu People Express New Concepts Jane Simpson Tennant
    How Warumungu people express new concepts Jane Simpson Tennant Creek 16/10/85 [This paper appeared in a lamentedly defunct journal: Simpson, Jane. 1985. How Warumungu people express new concepts. Language in Central Australia 4:12-25.] I. Introduction Warumungu is a language spoken around Tennant Creek (1). It is spoken at Rockhampton Downs and Alroy Downs in the east, as far north as Elliott, and as far south as Ali Curung. Neighbouring languages include Alyawarra, Kaytej, Jingili, Mudbura, Wakaya, Wampaya, Warlmanpa and Warlpiri. In the past, many of these groups met together for ceremonies and trade. There were also marriages between people of different language groups. People were promised to 'close family' from close countries. Many children would grow up with parents who could speak different languages. This still happens, and therefore many people are multi-lingual - they speak several languages. This often results in multi-lingual conversation. Sometimes one person will carry on their side of the conversation in Warumungu, while the other person talks only in Warlmanpa. Other times a person will use English, Warumungu, Alyawarra, Warlmanpa, and Warlpiri in a conversation, especially if different people take part in it. The close contact between speakers of different languages shows in shared words. For example, many words for family-terms are shared by different languages. As Valda Napururla Shannon points out, Eastern Warlpiri ("wakirti" Warlpiri (1)) shares words with its neighbours, Warumungu and Warlmanpa, while Western Warlpiri shares words with its neighbours. Pintupi, Gurindji, Anmatyerre etc. In Eastern Warlpiri, Warlmanpa and Warumungu the word "kangkuya" is used for 'father's father' (or 'father's father's brother' or 'father's father's sister').

  • Submission: Inquiry Into the Commonwealth Radioactive Waste Management
    Parliament of Australia Senate Environment, Communications and the Arts Committee Commonwealth Radioactive Waste Management (Repeal and Consequential Amendment) Bill 2008 Northern Land Council Supplementary submission and response to questions on notice 4 December 2008 2 SENATE ENVIRONMENT, COMMUNICATIONS AND THE ARTS COMMITTEE COMMONWEALTH RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT (REPEAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL AMENDMENT) BILL 2008 SUPPLEMENTARY SUBMISSION AND RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS ON NOTICE 1. INTRODUCTION The Northern Land Council's (NLC's) written submission dated 4 November 2008 emphasised that repealing the Commonwealth Radioactive Waste Management Act 2005 (the Act) would not have a neutral effect, since NT legislation1 which prohibits the establishment of a radioactive waste facility or repository would again be in force. This is the unstated purpose of the Commonwealth Radioactive Waste Management (Repeal and Consequential Amendment) Bill 2008. Before the Senate Committee some witnesses incorrectly claimed – without reference to the statutory scheme or anthropological advice - that the NLC's consultations for the nomination of a repository site on Muckaty Station had not been properly conducted. The NLC responded to these claims during oral submissions on 17 November 2008. Further information in rebuttal is contained in this supplementary submission. Two questions were raised on notice during the NLC's submissions, namely: (i) as to the dates of consultation meetings and the number of attendees;2 (ii) as to the number of people in the Ngapa traditional owning group.3 Responses to these questions are included in the body of the supplementary submission. 2. NLC'S CONSULTATIONS AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL ADVICE 2.1 Explanatory comment The NLC's nomination of a site on Muckaty Station for consideration as a Commonwealth repository was based on comprehensive consultations during 2006 and 2007 and anthropological advice as to the identity of the traditional Aboriginal owners and their consent.

  • PEOPLE for NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT (WA) 5 King William Street Bayswater WA 6053
    SUBMISSION TO THE SENATE LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL COMMITTEE INQUIRY RE NATIONAL RADIOACTIVE WASTE MAMAGEMENT BILL 2010, AND NOMINATION OF MUCKATY STATION AS HOST SITE PEOPLE FOR NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT (WA) 5 King William Street Bayswater WA 6053 Tel: 08 9271 8786 People for Nuclear Disarmament (WA) began in 1982 as a Perth-based organisation to promote nuclear disarmament as an essential step towards general disarmament and world peace. It was originally formed as a coalition of individuals and peace, indigenous, professional, faith-based and trade union groups. Today it continues to focus on the abolition of nuclear weapons as part of a global culture of non-violence. Our organisation’s concerns address the entire nuclear fuel chain as we understand the linkage between nuclear weapons, nuclear power, uranium mining and radioactive wastes. In our goal to promote a culture of non-violence, we seek in this submission to stand up for the rights of the First People of this land in relation to the treatment of Australia’s nuclear waste. Hence PND (WA) feels compelled to respond to the National Radioactive Waste Management Bill 2010 (NRWMB 2010) which we see as designed in part to override the deep cultural beliefs and other concerns of the majority of traditional owners of Muckaty Station near Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory. There are other rights that would be treated poorly in terms of certain existing NT, and Commonwealth laws should this Bill be enacted. The new Bill has to some extent the same coercive nature as the Act it is intended to displace.
