  • 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.

  • An Invitation to Contribute to a Forthcoming Series of Articles on ‘Aboriginal Historiography’
    An invitation to contribute to a forthcoming series of articles on ‘Aboriginal historiography’ The Editorial Board of Aboriginal History intends publishing a series of articles on the broad theme of ‘Aboriginal historiography’, beginning with Volume 27 (2003). Current debates on the stolen generations, Indigenous labour relations, reconcilia- tion and whether or not ‘genocide’ is an appropriate concept to employ in Australia have led to public discussion of contested approaches to historical interpretation. The Board wishes to encourage a deeper exploration of these historiographical concerns, and that of other historiographical issues. The Editorial Board invites contributions of articles to this Aboriginal historiogra- phy series. Suggested topics are set out below. The list is not exhaustive. Intending contributors should contact the Editor, Ingereth Macfarlane or Deputy Editor, Ian Howie-Willis at Aboriginal History, History, School of Humanities, Austral- ian National University, Canberra ACT 0200, Australia. Email addresses: [email protected] or [email protected]. Suggested topics • Definitions: What is ‘Aboriginal history’ — something unique, a subset of Aus- tralian history, or of the history of indigenous peoples generally, or of colonial and post-colonial societies? • Is it possible to produce a typology of ‘schools’ of Aboriginal historiography? If so, what would it be, and which historians could be assigned to its various types? Such a typology would consider certain ‘-isms’ and Aboriginal histori- ography: for instance, what have been the perspectives of classical empiricism, neo-Marxism, post-modernism, neo-conservatism etc on Aboriginal History? • An early dominance of anthropology and anthropologists, seen for instance in the 1964 Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies Act, which defined ‘Aborig- inal Studies’ as ‘anthropological research’.
