As a consequence of their different origins, populations, legal status, administrations and rates of growth, the post-contact western and eastern Muan communities followed different historical trajectories. This chapter traces the history of Mua, linking events with the family connections which always existed but were down-played until the second half of the 20th century. There are four sections, each relating to a different period of Mua’s history. Each is historically contextualised and contains discussions on economy, administration, infrastructure, health, religion, education and population.

  • A Grammatical Sketch of Ngarla: a Language of Western Australia Torbjörn Westerlund
    UPPSALA UNIVERSITY master thesis The department for linguistics and philology spring term 2007 A grammatical sketch of Ngarla: A language of Western Australia Torbjörn Westerlund Supervisor: Anju Saxena Abstract In this thesis the basic grammatical structure of normal speech style of the Western Australian language Ngarla is described using example sentences taken from the Ngarla – English Dictionary (by Geytenbeek; unpublished). No previous description of the language exists, and since there are only five people who still speak it, it is of utmost importance that it is investigated and described. The analysis in this thesis has been made by Torbjörn Westerlund, and the focus lies on the morphology of the nominal word class. The preliminary results show that the language shares many grammatical traits with other Australian languages, e.g. the ergative/absolutive case marking pattern. The language also appears to have an extensive verbal inflectional system, and many verbalisers. 2 Abbreviations 0 zero marked morpheme 1 first person 1DU first person dual 1PL first person plural 1SG first person singular 2 second person 2DU second person dual 2PL second person plural 2SG second person singular 3 third person 3DU third person dual 3PL third person plural 3SG third person singular A the transitive subject ABL ablative ACC accusative ALL/ALL2 allative ASP aspect marker BUFF buffer morpheme C consonant CAUS causative COM comitative DAT dative DEM demonstrative DU dual EMPH emphatic marker ERG ergative EXCL exclusive, excluding addressee FACT factitive FUT future tense HORT hortative ImmPAST immediate past IMP imperative INCHO inchoative INCL inclusive, including addressee INSTR instrumental LOC locative NEG negation NMLISER nominaliser NOM nominative N.SUFF nominal class suffix OBSCRD obscured perception P the transitive object p.c.

  • Nyikina Paradigms and Refunctionalization: a Cautionary Tale in Morphological Reconstruction
    Nyikina Paradigms and Refunctionalization: A Cautionary Tale in Morphological Reconstruction Claire Bowern Yale University Department of Linguistics PO Box 208366 New Haven, CT 06520, USA [email protected] Ph: +1.203.432.2045 Keywords: morphology, Nyulnyulan, Australian languages, exaptation, reconstruction, analogy 1 Abstract Here I present a case study of change in the complex verb morphology of the Nyikina language of Northwestern Australia. I describe changes which lead to reanalysis of underlying forms while preserving much of the inherited phonological material. The changes presented here do not fit into previous typologies of morphological change. Nyikina lost the distinction between past and present, and in doing so, merged two paradigms into one. The former past tense marker came to be associated with intransitive verb stems. The inflected verbs thus continue inherited material, but in a different function. These changes are most parsimoniously described in a theory of word formation which makes reference to paradigms. 1 Introduction 1.1 Background Many types of change can occur in morphology. Studies such as Anderson (1988) and Koch (1996) identified a series of processes which cause change in morphemes. These include, in addition to regular sound change which operates on fully inflected forms, various types of boundary shift (such as the absorption of material into stems or the reanalysis of one morpheme as two), and analogical changes such as paradigm regularization. Inflectional material can also be lost. Other processes are particularly associated with morphological change in complex paradigms, though by no means exclusively so. These include so-called “hermit-crab” morphology – and the related change of “lost wax” – described by Heath (1997, 1998).

  • The Burrup Agreement: a Case Study in Future Act Negotiation
    The Burrup Agreement: a case study in future act negotiation by Frances Flanagan 1 1. Introduction The agreement for the acquisition of native title over areas of land on and around the Burrup Peninsula near Karratha in Western Australia is one of the most comprehensive of its kind. The Pilbara Native Title Service led the negotiations with the State of Western Australia in highly challenging circumstances: there were three overlapping and part-heard native title claims, the acquisition concerned an area of world-renowned heritage significance, the State party was a newly-elected Labor government and there were five proponent companies proposing multi-billion dollar investments. One of the first things that my colleagues at the Land Council and I did upon realising that we would be responsible for assisting in negotiations of such magnitude and complexity was to reach for a copy of Ciaran O'Faircheallaigh's paper on negotiating major project agreements using the 'Cape York Model.'2 Our immediate reaction was gratitude towards Professor O'Faircheallaigh for his excellent digestion of the issues and his articulation of a comprehensive model for pursuing major negotiated agreements. Our second reaction was grave concern: we clearly did not have the resources, time or in-house expertise to follow the Cape York Model. 3 What follows is a brief summary of the strategic and logistical preparation the Land Council undertook prior to the negotiations that enabled us to broker a comprehensive agreement with the State and, at the same time, increase the expertise and skills of Land Council staff, improve the 1 Frances Flanagan has been a Legal Officer with the Yamatji Marlpa Sana Baba Maaja Aboriginal Corporation for three years.

  • 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

The shape of the cranium, in particular, became an important factor in schemes of racial typology from the late 18th Century (Blumenbach 1795; Deniker 1898; Dixon 1923; Haddon 1925; Huxley 1870). Following the formulation of the cranial index by Retzius in 1843 (see also Sjovold 1997), the classification of humans by skull shape became a positive fashion. Of course such classifications were predicated on the assumption that cranial shape was an immutable racial trait. However, it had long been known that cranial shape could be altered quite substantially during growth, whether due to congenital defect or morbidity or through cultural practices such as cradling and artificial cranial deformation (for reviews see (Dingwall 1931; Lindsell 1995). Thus the use of cranial index of racial identity was suspect. Another nail in the coffin of the Cranial Index's use as a classificatory trait was presented in Coon (1955), where he suggested that head form was subject to long term climatic selection. In particular he thought that rounder, or more brachycephalic, heads were an adaptation to cold. Although it was plausible that the head, being a major source of heat loss in humans (Porter 1993), could be subject to climatic selection, the situation became somewhat clouded when Beilicki and Welon demonstrated in 1964 that the trend towards brachycepahlisation was continuous between the 12th and 20th centuries in East- Central Europe and thus could not have been due to climatic selection (Bielicki & Welon 1964).

    VERB AFFIXES FROM CASE MARKERS SOME AUSTRALIAN EXAMPLES Barry J. Blake 1. Introduction In this paper a number of resemblances between case markers and verb affixes in Australian languages are pointed out, and it is suggested that a recurrent development is the extension of case marking to verbs. These case markers may be added directly to the verb root or there may be one or more stem-forming formatives between the verb base and the case marker. It is argued that there are two common sources for these stem forming suffixes, namely the proprietive or ‘having’ suffix and tense/aspect markers reanalysed as stem-forming suffixes. In the final section of the paper a few examples are given of case markers with a verbal origin. 2. Preliminaries 2.1 Methodology Where there is identity between a case marker and a verbal affix of related function there is prima facie evidence of a common origin. This identity may be complete identity of single morphs or of sets of allomorphs, or it may be an identity that is only apparent after allowance has been made for the effect of phonological change operating in two different environments. Of course formal identity is no guarantee of a common origin, since there may be accidental homophony. A clear indication that a common origin underlies two similar forms with similar functions is to be found where another dialect or language exhibits a different root in the same pair of functions. Another indication is parallelism involving more than one pair of markers within the same language. Both these indications can be illustrated from Kala Lagaw Ya (Kennedy 1984:156ff).
