It may not be reproduced without the permission of Pacific Linguistics. Pacific Linguistics Home Page: http://www.pacling.com Encountering Aboriginal languages: Studies in the history of Australian linguistics edited by William B. McGregor PL 591 2008 ISBN 9780858835832 540 pp. Prices: Australia AUD $121.00 (incl. GST) Overseas AUD $110.00 This edited volume represents the first book- length study of the history of research on Australian Aboriginal languages, and collects together 18 original papers on a wide variety of topics, spanning the period from first settlement to the present day. The introduction sets the scene for the book by presenting an overview of the history of histories of research on the languages of Australia, and identifying some of the major issues in Aboriginal linguistic historiography as well as directions for future investigations. Part 1 presents three detailed investigations of the history of work on particular languages and regions. The eight papers of Part 2 study and re- evaluate the contributions of particular individuals, most of who are somewhat marginal or have been marginalised in Aboriginal linguistics. Part 3 consists of six studies specific linguistic topics: sign language research, language revival, pidgins and creoles, fieldwork, Fr. Schmidt’s work on personal pronouns, and the discovery that Australia was a multilingual continent. Overall, the volume presents two major challenges to Australianist orthodoxy. First, the papers challenge the typically anachronistic approaches to the history of Aboriginal linguistics, and reveal the need to examine previous research in the context of their times — and the advantages of doing so to contemporary understanding and language documentation.

  • David Williamson
    COLLECTED PLAYS Volume V David Williamson David Williamson Collected Plays Vol V_INT_FIN.indd 3 27/06/2019 4:03:00 PM David Williamson: The Later Plays David Williamson’s first stage play, The Indecent Exposure of Anthony East, appeared in 1968. Thereafter, the AusStage performing arts database lists 739 separate production events under his name, the most numerous of any Australian theatre artist and, for an Australian playwright, an achievement second only to William Shakespeare’s. That makes a total of 53 plays over 51 years, a body of work which is truly a chronicle of Williamson’s times, and thus, by implication, a chronicle of our profoundly changing times. Before attending to the four works published here, it is important to ask what makes Williamson’s drama tick as a whole. Many people have opinions on this question without necessarily having thought deeply about it. Thus, it is claimed that he is a ‘naturalistic playwright’, or ‘issues-based’, or a ‘sociological observer’ of manners and mores. These answers have some merit, but none touch the heart of his approach, one that certainly encompasses a writing style, but also reaches beyond it. In essence, Williamson’s plays are vehicles for relating to the world around him in direct and immediate ways. At its best, his drama pits his own unique creative sensibility, as an Australian artist, at a uniquely evolving social context, contemporary Australia, in a tightly targeted fashion. He is the very epitome of a local playwright. It is hard to think of a stage writer for whom overseas models and methods might matter less.

  • David Williamson's
    DAVID WILLIAMSON’S 18 JANUARY – 16 MARCH 2019 WORLD PREMIERE WELCOME DIRECTOR’S NOTE It is always a pleasure working on a new David Williamson play and particularly one that deals with issues underlining the make it or break it world of entertainment. THE BIG TIME has at its core loneliness, desperation, jealousy, ambition and betrayal while creating a world of likable characters that make us laugh. Quite an achievement given the themes. The play also has a sense of hope, struggling to make itself heard over the noise of ego. David is very good at finding the heightened essence of the world, at once allowing us to laugh and sympathise while recognising the truths of who we are. I feel my job as director is to do two things; cast really well and secondly; let the words fly. David Williamson has, as ever, done the hard work already. I hope you enjoy THE BIG TIME and here’s to a wonderful 2019! Mark Kilmurry Artistic Director SYNOPSIS Celia and Vicki were best friends at drama school, but the game of life has dealt them very different hands. Celia is a high profile soap star earning ridiculous amounts of money and the requisite harbourside views. Meanwhile Vicki is scraping by in gritty, critically acclaimed roles in independent theatre. When Vicki proposes they collaborate on an ambitious new film project, it could be a big opportunity for both of them to prove their mettle in the industry. But are Vicki’s motives as well-intentioned as they seem, or will jealousy rear its ugly head?

    THEATRE FOR EVERYONE DAVID WILLIAMSON’S 19 JANUARY – 17 MARCH 2018 DIRECTOR’S NOTE BY NADIA TASS ignore these issues like many of our politicians I have always loved David Williamson’s work, might do; he insists these characters act on the issues he concerns himself with, and the their responsibility. It is not until they are careful balance he creates between gravity forced to deal with the dilemmas they face, and humour. that they achieve perspective, growth, and enlightenment. Williamson insists that issues he presents, cannot be shelved or ignored, so he From the very first scene, we know the orchestrates situations that are strange, dominant issue in this play, and then we see uncomfortable and grittingly real. And it is what effect it has on each of Williamson’s within those situations our characters are beautifully drawn characters. It truly is a joy forced to confront the issues, even if they are to work with material that is at the same potentially detrimental to their personal lives. time both funny and poignant. This narrative is full of surprises, filled with similarities Each of the characters in SORTING OUT between what is happening on stage and the RACHEL is facing a mammoth personal Australian society at large. dilemma. And each of these dilemmas mirrors the prevailing social issues in Australian The question remains – how is our world society. One has too little money, another going to deal with these issues? Williamson too much; and the question is – how is that holds a clear mirror to our world, and tells money best used for the greater good of the us to look at who we are, and asks – are we community? going to take responsibility? What attracted me to SORTING OUT These are serious issues, serious questions, RACHEL, was the notion that it examines the but never at the expense of the primary human condition pitted against large and objective – to entertain.
