  • Appendix a (PDF 85KB)
    A Appendix A: Committee visits to remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities As part of the Committee’s inquiry into remote Indigenous community stores the Committee visited seventeen communities, all of which had a distinctive culture, history and identity. The Committee began its community visits on 30 March 2009 travelling to the Torres Strait and the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland over four days. In late April the Committee visited communities in Central Australia over a three day period. Final consultations were held in Broome, Darwin and various remote regions in the Northern Territory including North West Arnhem Land. These visits took place in July over a five day period. At each location the Committee held a public meeting followed by an open forum. These meetings demonstrated to the Committee the importance of the store in remote community life. The Committee appreciated the generous hospitality and evidence provided to the Committee by traditional owners and elders, clans and families in all the remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities visited during the inquiry. The Committee would also like to thank everyone who assisted with the administrative organisation of the Committee’s community visits including ICC managers, Torres Strait Councils, Government Business Managers and many others within the communities. A brief synopsis of each community visit is set out below.1 1 Where population figures are given, these are taken from a range of sources including 2006 Census data and Grants Commission figures. 158 EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS Torres Strait Islands The Torres Strait Islands (TSI), traditionally called Zenadth Kes, comprise 274 small islands in an area of 48 000 square kilometres (kms), from the tip of Cape York north to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.

  • Land and Language in Cape York Peninsula and the Gulf
    Land and Language in Cape york peninsula and the Gulf Country edited by Jean-Christophe Verstraete and Diane Hafner x + 492 pp., John Benjamins Publishing Company, Amsterdam and Philadelphia, 2016, ISBN 9789027244543 (hbk), US$165.00. Review by Fiona Powell This volume is number 18 in the series Culture and Language Use (CLU), Studies in Anthropological Linguistics, edited by Gunter Seft of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen. It is a Festschrift for Emeritus Professor Bruce Rigsby. His contributions to anthropology during his tenure as professor at the University of Queensland from 1975 until 2000 and his contributions to native title have profoundly enriched the lives of his students, his colleagues and the Aboriginal people of Cape York. The editors and the contributors have produced a volume of significant scholarship in honour of Bruce Rigsby. As mentioned by the editors: ‘it is difficult to do justice to even the Australian part of Bruce’s work, because he has worked on such a wide range of topics and across the boundaries of disciplines’ (p. 9). The introductory chapter outlines the development of the Queensland School of Anthropology since 1975. Then follow 19 original articles contributed by 24 scholars. The articles are arranged in five sections (Reconstructions, World Views, Contacts and Contrasts, Transformations and Repatriations). At the beginning of the volume there are two general maps (Map 1 of Queensland and Map 2 of Cape York Peninsula and the Gulf Country) both showing locations mentioned in the text. There are three indexes: of places (pp. 481–82; languages, language families and groups (pp.

  • What's in a Name? a Typological and Phylogenetic
    What’s in a Name? A Typological and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Names of Pama-Nyungan Languages Katherine Rosenberg Advisor: Claire Bowern Submitted to the faculty of the Department of Linguistics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts Yale University May 2018 Abstract The naming strategies used by Pama-Nyungan languages to refer to themselves show remarkably similar properties across the family. Names with similar mean- ings and constructions pop up across the family, even in languages that are not particularly closely related, such as Pitta Pitta and Mathi Mathi, which both feature reduplication, or Guwa and Kalaw Kawaw Ya which are both based on their respective words for ‘west.’ This variation within a closed set and similar- ity among related languages suggests the development of language names might be phylogenetic, as other aspects of historical linguistics have been shown to be; if this were the case, it would be possible to reconstruct the naming strategies used by the various ancestors of the Pama-Nyungan languages that are currently known. This is somewhat surprising, as names wouldn’t necessarily operate or develop in the same way as other aspects of language; this thesis seeks to de- termine whether it is indeed possible to analyze the names of Pama-Nyungan languages phylogenetically. In order to attempt such an analysis, however, it is necessary to have a principled classification system capable of capturing both the similarities and differences among various names. While people have noted some similarities and tendencies in Pama-Nyungan names before (McConvell 2006; Sutton 1979), no one has addressed this comprehensively.

  • Computational Phylogenetic Reconstruction of Pama-Nyungan Verb Conjugation Classes
    Abstract Computational Phylogenetic Reconstruction of Pama-Nyungan Verb Conjugation Classes Parker Lorber Brody 2020 The Pama-Nyungan language family comprises some 300 Indigenous languages, span- ning the majority of the Australian continent. The varied verb conjugation class systems of the modern Pama-Nyungan languages have been the object of contin- ued interest among researchers seeking to understand how these systems may have changed over time and to reconstruct the verb conjugation class system of the com- mon ancestor of Pama-Nyungan. This dissertation offers a new approach to this task, namely the application of Bayesian phylogenetic reconstruction models, which are employed in both testing existing hypotheses and proposing new trajectories for the change over time of the organization of the verbal lexicon into inflection classes. Data from 111 Pama-Nyungan languages was collected based on features of the verb conjugation class systems, including the number of distinct inflectional patterns and how conjugation class membership is determined. Results favor reconstructing a re- stricted set of conjugation classes in the prehistory of Pama-Nyungan. Moreover, I show evidence that the evolution of different parts of the conjugation class sytem are highly correlated. The dissertation concludes with an excursus into the utility of closed-class morphological data in resolving areas of uncertainty in the continuing stochastic reconstruction of the internal structure of Pama-Nyungan.
