Introduction Language, land and song are closely entwined for most pre-industrial societies, whether the fishing and farming economies of Homeric Greece, or the raiding, mercenary and farming economies of the Norse, or the hunter- gatherer economies of Australia. Documenting a language is now seen as incomplete unless documenting place, story and song forms part of it. This book presents language documentation in its broadest sense in the Australian context, also giving a view of the documentation of Australian Aboriginal languages over time.1 In doing so, we celebrate the achievements of a pioneer in this field, Luise Hercus, who has documented languages, land, song and story in Australia over more than fifty years. -

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. -
A Needs-Based Review of the Status of Indigenous Languages in South Australia
“KEEP THAT LANGUAGE GOING!” A Needs-Based Review of the Status of Indigenous Languages in South Australia A consultancy carried out by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission, South Australia by Patrick McConvell, Rob Amery, Mary-Anne Gale, Christine Nicholls, Jonathan Nicholls, Lester Irabinna Rigney and Simone Ulalka Tur May 2002 Declaration The authors of this report wish to acknowledge that South Australia’s Indigenous communities remain the custodians for all of the Indigenous languages spoken across the length and breadth of this state. Despite enormous pressures and institutionalised opposition, Indigenous communities have refused to abandon their culture and languages. As a result, South Australia is not a storehouse for linguistic relics but remains the home of vital, living languages. The wisdom of South Australia’s Indigenous communities has been and continues to be foundational for all language programs and projects. In carrying out this project, the Research Team has been strengthened and encouraged by the commitment, insight and linguistic pride of South Australia’s Indigenous communities. All of the recommendations contained in this report are premised on the fundamental right of Indigenous Australians to speak, protect, strengthen and reclaim their traditional languages and to pass them on to future generations. * Within this report, the voices of Indigenous respondents appear in italics. In some places, these voices stand apart from the main body of the report, in other places, they are embedded within sentences. The decision to incorporate direct quotations or close paraphrases of Indigenous respondent’s view is recognition of the importance of foregrounding the perspectives and aspirations of Indigenous communities across the state. -

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’. -
