PACIFIC LINGUISTICS FOUNDING EDITOR: Stephen A. Wurm EDITORIAL BOARD: Malcolm D. Ross and Darrell T. Tryon (Managing Editors), John Bowden, Thomas E. Dutton, Andrew K. Pawley Pacific Linguistics is a publisher specialising in linguistic descriptions, dictionaries, atlases and other material on languages of the Pacific, the Philippines, Indonesia and Southeast Asia. The authors and editors of Pacific Linguistics publications are drawn from a wide range of institutions around the world. Pacific Linguistics is associated with the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies at The Australian NatIonal University. Pacific Linguistics was established in 1963 through an initial grant from the Hunter Douglas Fund. It is a non-profit-making body financed largely from the sales of its books to libraries and individuals throughout the world, with some assistance from the School. The Editorial Board of Pacific Linguistics is made up of the academic staff of the School's Department of Linguistics. The Board also appoints a body of editorial advisors drawn from the international community of linguists. Publications in Series A, Band C and textbooks in Series D are refereed by scholars with relevant expertise who are normally not members of the editorial board. To date Pacific Linguistics has published over 400 volumes in four series: Series A: Occasional Papers; collections of shorter papers, usually·on a single topic or area. Series B: Monographs of intermediate length. Series C: Books; publications of greater length, especially reference books such as dictionaries and grammars, and conference proceedings. Series D: Special Publications; including archival materials, pedagogical works, maps, audiovisual productions, and materials that do not fit into the other series. and Lois Series D, Volume 92 OZBIB a linguistic bibliography of Aboriginal Australia and the Torres Strait Islands Lois Carrington and Geraldine Triffitt Pacific Linguistics Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies The Australian National University Canberra Published by Pacific Linguistics Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies The Australian National University PO Box 1428 Canberra ACT 2601 Australia First published 1999 Copyright © Lois Carrington and Geraldine Triffitt 1999 ISSN 0078-7566 ISBN 0 85883 51 50 National Libraryof Australia Cataloguing-in-Publication Data Carrington, Lois.

As a basis we used the language entries in Greenway's bibliography, augmented and corrected from bibliographical reference cards (later to become computer entries) kept by Lois in the course of her work for Pacific Linguistics publications, and the annual bibliography for The Australian Journal of Linguistics, which was commenced in 1982 by Bob Dixon, continued by Harold Koch and Geraldine Triffitt, and in recent years compiled by Geraldine alone. The scope of our OZBIB falls into two parts. The first includes examples of Aboriginal and Torres Strait languages recorded as vocabulary, texts or songs up to the end of the 1950s, which coincides with the end date of Greenway's bibliographical collecting. After 1959 the emphasis is on theoretical and applied linguistics: linguistic analysis and comparisons, works analysing languages, dictionaries and grammars, language surveys, works on bilingual education, language policy, pidgins and creoles and Aboriginal English. We have omitted, except for a few exemplars, the many stories, primers, Bible translations, hymns, manuscripts and ephemera in the languages themselves. Publications in indigenous languages have proliferated, particularly with the introduction of bilingual education, and the establishment of language centres to maintain and record languages, and would require a large bibliography in themselves. We have been governed, too, by the constraints of producing a handbook of serviceable size! We trust that has been achieved. The compilation of OZBIB has been a labour of love begun in the early 'nineties, and continued intermittently until now - the bibliography contains items known to us as at 30 June 1999. In 1993, the Council of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies made a grant to allow Pat Knight to check the linguistic holdings and the bibliographic records in the AIATSIS library. This was done in Pat's meticulous and efficient manner. We have aimed to be as comprehensive and as current as possible. We have checked other bibliographies, library catalogues, the Internet, and have contacted 'contributors' by e-mail and other means. If we have omitted important items please inform us so that amendments may be included in subsequent editions. We should warn that the bibliography may include names of deceased Aboriginal people. Thanks are due to a number of people for their able and willing assistance: to the many 'contributors' who checked their entries and those who gave us encouragement and support, particularly Bob Dixon, Stephen Wurm, Harold Koch, Michael Walsh, Luise Hercus, Lynette Oates (whose books served as a guide to language identification), Margaret Sharpe and Anna Shnukal. David Nash, Jane Simpson and Denise Angelo helped us find addresses and drew our attention to theses and new publications. Andrew Pawley, Malcolm Ross, Darrell Tryon, John Bowden, Martha Campbell and Meredith Osmond have been helpful in several ways. We are grateful too for Alan Ives' encyclopaedic knowledge of bibliographic and historical sources and for the use of his extensive book collection. The staff of the Menzies and Chifley libraries at the Australian National University, the Petherick Room at the National Library of Australia, the Mitchell Library, and the State Library of Victoria gave us devoted assistance. Geraldine gives a special 'thank you' to Juliette Gray, Libby Coates, Pat Brady, Alana Garwood and Barry Cundy at the AIATSIS Library who bore the brunt of retrieving hundreds of rare books and theses which were returned after brief consultation. Lois remembers with affection the linguists Arthur Capell and Don Laycock, who developed her interest in linguistic bibliography. Special thanks go to Lesley Smith for donating the antique printer's block, more than a century old, which appears on the dedication page. We are forever grateful to George Carrington, our chief computer and printer trouble-shooter, who kept our MaCintosh computers and our Internet links operational and who, like John Tarbath, had to bear the brunt of our occasional bibliographical frustrations!

  • The Founding of Aboriginal History and the Forming of Aboriginal History
    The founding of Aboriginal History and the forming of Aboriginal history Bain Attwood Nearly 40 years ago an important historical project was launched at The Australian National University (ANU). It came to be called Aboriginal history. It was the name of both a periodical and a historiographical movement. In this article I seek to provide a comprehensive account of the founding of the former and to trace something of the formation of the latter.1 Aboriginal history first began to be formed in the closing months of 1975 when a small group of historically-minded white scholars at ANU agreed to found what they described as a journal of Aboriginal History. At that time, the term, let alone the concept of Aboriginal history, was a novel one. The planners of this academic journal seem to have been among the first to use the phrase in its discursive sense when they suggested that it ‘should serve as a publications outlet in the field of Aboriginal history’.2 Significantly, the term was adopted in the public realm at much the same time. The reports of the Committee of Inquiry on Museums and National Collections (the Pigott Report) and the Planning Committee on the Gallery of Aboriginal Australia, which were the outcome of an inquiry commissioned by the Whitlam Labor Government in order to articulate and give expression to a new Australian nationalism by championing a past that was indigenous to the Australian continent, both used the term.3 As 1 I wish to thank Niel Gunson, Bob Reece and James Urry for allowing me to view some of their personal

The event of dancing is witnessed to by a watercolour by Lieutenant William Bradley, ‘View in Broken Bay New South Wales March 1788’, which is reproduced by Clendinnen as both a plate and a dustcover.4 By ‘The Australians’ Clendinnen means the Aboriginal pop- ulation. But, of course, Aboriginality is not an Aboriginal concept but an Imperial one. As Sonja Kurtzer writes: ‘The concept of Aboriginality did not even exist before the coming of the European’.5 And as for the terra nullius to which the British came, it was always a legal fiction. All this taken in, one sees why Clendinnen calls the First People ‘The Australians’, leaving most of those with the current passport very much Second People. But: winner has taken, almost, all. The Eddie Mabo case6 exploded terra nullius, but most of the ‘nobody’s land’ now still belongs to the Second People.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Aboriginal and Indigenous Languages; a Language Other Than English for All; and Equitable and Widespread Language Services
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 355 819 FL 021 087 AUTHOR Lo Bianco, Joseph TITLE The National Policy on Languages, December 1987-March 1990. Report to the Minister for Employment, Education and Training. INSTITUTION Australian Advisory Council on Languages and Multicultural Education, Canberra. PUB DATE May 90 NOTE 152p. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC07 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Advisory Committees; Agency Role; *Educational Policy; English (Second Language); Foreign Countries; *Indigenous Populations; *Language Role; *National Programs; Program Evaluation; Program Implementation; *Public Policy; *Second Languages IDENTIFIERS *Australia ABSTRACT The report proviCes a detailed overview of implementation of the first stage of Australia's National Policy on Languages (NPL), evaluates the effectiveness of NPL programs, presents a case for NPL extension to a second term, and identifies directions and priorities for NPL program activity until the end of 1994-95. It is argued that the NPL is an essential element in the Australian government's commitment to economic growth, social justice, quality of life, and a constructive international role. Four principles frame the policy: English for all residents; support for Aboriginal and indigenous languages; a language other than English for all; and equitable and widespread language services. The report presents background information on development of the NPL, describes component programs, outlines the role of the Australian Advisory Council on Languages and Multicultural Education (AACLAME) in this and other areas of effort, reviews and evaluates NPL programs, and discusses directions and priorities for the future, including recommendations for development in each of the four principle areas. Additional notes on funding and activities of component programs and AACLAME and responses by state and commonwealth agencies with an interest in language policy issues to the report's recommendations are appended.

  • Loanwords Between the Arandic Languages and Their Western Neighbours: Principles of Identification and Phonological Adaptation
    Loanwords between the Arandic languages and their western neighbours: Principles of identification and phonological adaptation Harold%Koch% Australian%National%University% [email protected]% This paper 1 summarises the characteristics of loanwords, especially the ways in which they are adapted to the structure of the borrowing language, and surveys the various tests that have been provided in both the general historical linguistics literature and Australianist literature for identifying the fact and direction of borrowing. It then provides a case study of loanwords out of and into the Arandic languages; the other languages involved are especially Warlpiri but to some extent dialects of the Western Desert language. The primary focus is on the phonological adaptation of loanwords between languages whose phonological structure differs especially in the presence vs. absence of initial consonants, in consequence of earlier changes whereby Arandic languages lost all initial consonants. While loanwords out of Arandic add a consonant, it is claimed that loanwords into Arandic include two chronological strata: in one the source consonant was preserved but the other (older) pattern involved truncation of the source consonant. Reasons for this twofold behaviour are presented (in terms of diachronic and contrastive phonology), and the examples of the more radical (older) pattern 1 The title, abstract, and introduction have been altered from the version offered at ALS2013, which was titled ‘How to identify loanwords between Australian languages:

    Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 12 Social Cognition Parallax Interview Corpus (SCOPIC) ed. by Danielle Barth and Nicholas Evans, pp. 1–21 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/sp12 1 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24742 SCOPIC Design and Overview Danielle Barth and Nicholas Evans Australian National University and the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language This paper provides an overview of the design and motivation for creating the Social Cognition Parallax Interview Corpus (SCOPIC), an open-end- ed, accessible corpus that balances the need for language-specific annota- tion with typologically-calibrated markup. SCOPIC provides richly anno- tated data, focusing on functional categories relevant to social cognition, the social and psychological facts that place people and others within an interconnected social context and allow people to interact with one an- other. By ‘parallax corpus’ we mean ‘broadly comparable formulations resulting from a comparable task’, to avoid the implications of ‘parallel corpus’ that there will be exact semantic equivalence across languages. We describe the data structure of the corpus and the language functions being annotated, and provide an example of a typological analysis using recursive partitioning, a modern statistical technique. The current paper should be seen as the introductory chapter of an open-ended special issue of LDC whose goal is to make available both the original corpus, the evolving annotated versions, and analyses coming from them, so that any investigator can examine the corpus with their own questions in mind. A range of new papers, linked to the evolv- ing corpus, will be added to this special issue over time.

But it has been extraordinarily diffcult to understand its evolution, diversifcation, and use: a vast array of incredibly different language systems are found across the planet, all representing different solutions to the problem of evolving a fexible, all-purpose communication system, and all in constant fux.
