Before Europeans arrived in Australia, there were up to different Aboriginal languages and around different dialects. Pitjantjatjara is one of the most well described dialects of the Western Desert language A Sheppard, Nancy [with Yanyi]. There are manifest causes for these issues, but part of the problem with stamping out alcohol and illicit drug use has been the straddling of the indigenous areas of three jurisdictions: South Australia , Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

  • Coober Pedy, South Australia
    The etymology of Coober Pedy, South Australia Petter Naessan The aim of this paper is to outline and assess the diverging etymologies of ‘Coober Pedy’ in northern South Australia, in the search for original and post-contact local Indigenous significance associated with the name and the region. At the interface of contemporary Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara opinion (mainly in the Coober Pedy region, where I have conducted fieldwork since 1999) and other sources, an interesting picture emerges: in the current use by Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara people as well as non-Indigenous people in Coober Pedy, the name ‘Coober Pedy’ – as ‘white man’s hole (in the ground)’ – does not seem to reflect or point toward a pre-contact Indigenous presence. Coober Pedy is an opal mining and tourist town with a total population of about 3500, situated near the Stuart Highway, about 850 kilometres north of Adelaide, South Australia. Coober Pedy is close to the Stuart Range, lies within the Arckaringa Basin and is near the border of the Great Victoria Desert. Low spinifex grasslands amounts for most of the sparse vegetation. The Coober Pedy and Oodnadatta region is characterised by dwarf shrubland and tussock grassland. Further north and northwest, low open shrub savanna and open shrub woodland dominates.1 Coober Pedy and surrounding regions are arid and exhibit very unpredictable rainfall. Much of the economic activity in the region (as well as the initial settlement of Euro-Australian invaders) is directly related to the geology, namely quite large deposits of opal. The area was only settled by non-Indigenous people after 1915 when opal was uncovered but traditionally the Indigenous population was western Arabana (Midlaliri).

  • A Preliminary Study of Pitch and Rhythm in Pitjantjatjara
    A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF PITCH AND RHYTHM IN PITJANTJATJARA. Marija Tabain (La Trobe University, Melbourne), Janet Fletcher (University of Melbourne), Christian Heinrich (Ludwig Maximilians University, Munich) Pitjantjatjara is a dialect of the greater Western Desert language, spoken mainly in the north-west of South Australia, but extending north into the Northern Territory, and west into Western Australia (Douglas 1964). Like most Australian languages, Pitjantjatjara has been analysed as a stress language (trochaic); however relatively little is known about the intonational system of this language. We present a preliminary analysis of the prosodic structure of Pitjantjatjara based on three female speakers reading two different texts – the Walpa Ulpariranya munu Tjintunya (South Wind and the Sun) passage, and the Nanikuta (Three Billy Goats) text. Our first result suggests that the shape and temporal alignment of major pitch movements perform a largely demarcative function, aligning with the metrically strong first syllable in a word. There is mixed evidence, however, that strong syllables are longer or have more "peripheral" vowels: differences in strong vs. weak syllable duration are text- dependent, while the formant patterns for the three vowel phonemes /i, a, u/ suggest subtle formant differences, rather than categorical changes in vowel quality, according to strong vs. weak syllable. We also consider the traditional rhythm metrics (e.g. vocalic nPVI and intervocalic rPVI). These suggest that Pitjantjatjara is a stress-based language. However, as noted above, Pitjantjatjara does not have vowel reduction in weak syllables, and in addition, it has a predominantly CV syllable structure. Moreover, Australian languages such as Pitjantjatjara have a high proportion of sonorants in their phoneme inventory (Butcher 2006), and despite the mainly CV syllable structure, sonorant coda consonants are possible and not infrequent.

  • 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.

  • Reclaiming the Kaurna Language: a Long and Lasting Collaboration in an Urban Setting
    Vol. 8 (2014), pp. 409-429 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4613 Series: The Role of Linguists in Indigenous Community Language Programs in Australia1 Reclaiming the Kaurna language: a long and lasting collaboration in an urban setting Rob Amery University of Adelaide A long-running collaboration between Kaurna people and linguists in South Australia be- gan in 1989 with a songbook. Following annual community workshops and the estab- lishment of teaching programs, the author embarked on a PhD to research historical sources and an emerging modern language based on these sources. In response to numer- ous requests for names, translations and information, together with Kaurna Elders Lewis O’Brien and Alitya Rigney, the author and others formed Kaurna Warra Pintyandi (KWP) in 2002. It is a monthly forum where researchers, and others interested in Kaurna lan- guage, can meet with Kaurna people to discuss their concerns. KWP, based at the Univer- sity of Adelaide, is not incorporated and attendance of meetings is voluntary. The com- mittee has gained a measure of credibility and respect from the Kaurna community, gov- ernment departments and the public and has recently signed a Memorandum of Under- standing with the University of Adelaide. However, KWP and the author sit, uneasily at times, at the intersection between the University and the community. This paper explores the nature of collaboration between Kaurna people and researchers through KWP in the context of reliance on historical documentation, much of which is open to interpretation. Linguistics provides some of the skills needed for interpretation of source materials.

  • VERB AFFIXES from CASE MARKERS Barry J. Blake 1. Introduction in This Paper a Number of Resemblances Between Case Markers and V
    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).

    INTEGRATION OF BIODIVERSITY INTO REGIONAL NRM PLANNING CASE STUDY # 7 INDIGENOUS PROTECTED AREAS – ANANGU PITJANTJATJARA LANDS Biodiversity conservation and cultural heritage preservation are inseparable for indigenous people Central Australia: Region: Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands Affiliated Regional NRM Group: Aboriginal Lands Region of South Australia Background Indigenous Protected Areas (IPA’s) are a voluntary agreement entered into by the Traditional Owners of the land and the Commonwealth government to promote biodiversity and cultural resource conservation on indigenous owned land. The Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands cover 107,000 square kilometres where the boundaries of South Australia, Northern Territory and West Australia meet. Within this area, two IPA's have been established: Walalkara (1.3 million hectares) and Watarru (0.7 million hectares). Preparation was started in 1998, with approval gained in 2002. The goals of the IPA program are: ! to establish partnerships between government and indigenous land managers to support the development of a comprehensive, adequate and representative national system of protected areas which is consistent with the international protected areas classification by assisting indigenous people to establish and manage protected areas on estates for which they hold title and assisting indigenous groups and Commonwealth, State and Territory agencies to develop partnerships for co-operative management of existing protected areas; ! to promote indigenous involvement in protected area management by supporting the establishment of co-operatively managed protected areas in each jurisdiction and promotion of national best practice approaches to co-operative partnerships in protected area management; ! to promote and integrate indigenous ecological and cultural knowledge into contemporary protected area management practices, in accordance with internationally endorsed protected areas guidelines.

  • Rolling Thunder’: Changing Communication and the Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatara Public Sphere
    THE INDIGENOUS PUBLIC SPHERE Frontline reports ‘Rolling Thunder’: Changing communication and the Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatara public sphere DAVID I. TAFLER Muhlenberg College, Allentown OM O’REGAN and Philip Batty in Australian Television Culture, iden- tify a problematic confrontation between westernised concepts of T‘publicness’ and the notions of that ‘publicness’ found within Aborigi- nal cultural practices. O’Regan and Batty acknowledge the role that tradition plays in mediating the integration of indigenous communities within contem- porary Australia. They suggest an array of issues that vary among communi- ties. Some variables include proximity to European settlement, the traditional food sources, and the distance from the ocean. Prior to the settler invasion, tradition played an important role provid- ing the terms and forms under which this culture could be transformed. After the invasion the external input of settler claims introduced an important new transformative element alongside traditionally available means for managing social and cultural change. These external, princi- pally European elements, modified, subverted or in extreme cases wiped out traditional forms of cultural management and transformation. Within this mix of tendencies there is no one pattern of Aboriginal life-ways or of symbolic ethnicity. (O’Regan, 1993, pp. 182-183) In this context of dependency, governments intervene in order to encourage the development of Westernised forms of political discourse and practice that PACIFIC JOURNALISM REVIEW 11 (1) 2005 155 THE INDIGENOUS PUBLIC SPHERE can mediate between the larger white mainstream and the deep particularity of Aboriginal culture. That intervention seems to evoke the possibility of a re-colonisation of an already fragmented and economically oppressed cul- ture.
