APPENDIX G – 2017-2018 v1.0 - 2 - Contents Language Codes by Alphabetical order ...................................................................... 4 Language Codes by Numerical order ....................................................................... 23 APPENDIX G – 2017-2018 v1.0 - 3 - Language Codes by Alphabetical order From 1st July 2011 a new language classification was implemented in Queensland Health (QH). The new language classification is a modified version of the Australian Bureau of Statistics Australian Standard Classification of Languages (ASCL), Second Edition (ABS Cat. No. 1267.0) and allows the use of synonyms and sub-languages which map to a core language category (e.g. Sardinian to Italian). This enhancement greatly improves how preferred language is recorded in QH systems and facilitates better supply of interpreter services in public health care facilities.

  • F. Cocos I Malay
    This is the published version Welsh,A 2015, Cocos Malay Language since integration with Australia, Shima: the international journal of research into island cultures, vol. 9, no. 1, pp. 53- 68. Available from Deakin Research Online http://hdl.handle.net/10536/DRO/DU:30072695 Reproduced with the kind permission of the copyright owner Copyright: 2015, Macquarie University Welsh: Cocos Malay language COCOS MALAY LANGUAGE SINCE INTEGRATION WITH AUSTRALIA ALISTAIR WELSH Deakin University <[email protected]> Abstract The Cocos (Keeling) Islands are a remote Australian territory in the Indian Ocean and are home to the Cocos Malay people, who have developed a distinct dialect. It was predicted over 30 years ago that the Cocos Malay language faced extinction, perhaps even within the timeframe of one generation. Two possible threats to the Cocos Malay language were identified. It was felt that English, as the language of power, may replace the Cocos Malay language. The other possibility was language convergence, where Cocos Malay would be subsumed by another, larger Malay dialect. With these issues in mind, I explore developments in the Cocos Malay language since the Islands’ full integration with Australia in 1984. Drawing from extensive ethnographic work and linguistic research into Cocos Malay I also refer to the work of other researchers to analyse how the Cocos Malay language has developed over the past 30 years, in a time of great social change. I argue that integration with Australia and attempts at assimilation have resulted in social dynamics where Cocos Malay language remains a defining marker of Cocos Malay identity positioning.

  • KUNINJKU PEOPLE, BUFFALO, and CONSERVATION in ARNHEM LAND: ‘IT’S a CONTRADICTION THAT FRUSTRATES US’ Jon Altman
    3 KUNINJKU PEOPLE, BUFFALO, AND CONSERVATION IN ARNHEM LAND: ‘IT’S A CONTRADICTION THAT FRUSTRATES US’ Jon Altman On Tuesday 20 May 2014 I was escorting two philanthropists to rock art galleries at Dukaladjarranj on the edge of the Arnhem Land escarpment. I was there in a corporate capacity, as a direc- tor of the Karrkad-Kanjdji Trust, seeking to raise funds to assist the Djelk and Warddeken Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs) in their work tackling the conservation challenges of maintain- ing the environmental and cultural values of 20,000 square kilometres of western Arnhem Land. We were flying low in a Robinson R44 helicopter over the Tomkinson River flood plains – Bulkay – wetlands renowned for their biodiversity. The experienced pilot, nicknamed ‘Batman’, flew very low, pointing out to my guests herds of wild buffalo and their highly visible criss-cross tracks etched in the landscape. He remarked over the intercom: ‘This is supposed to be an IPA but those feral buffalo are trashing this country, they should be eliminated, shot out like up at Warddeken’. His remarks were hardly helpful to me, but he had a point that I could not easily challenge mid-air; buffalo damage in an iconic wetland within an IPA looked bad. Later I tried to explain to the guests in a quieter setting that this was precisely why the Djelk Rangers needed the extra philanthropic support that the Karrkad-Kanjdji Trust was seeking to raise. * * * 3093 Unstable Relations.indd 54 5/10/2016 5:40 PM Kuninjku People, Buffalo, and Conservation in Arnhem Land This opening vignette highlights a contradiction that I want to explore from a variety of perspectives in this chapter – abundant populations of environmentally destructive wild buffalo roam widely in an Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) declared for its natural and cultural values of global significance, according to International Union for the Conservation of Nature criteria.

  • Linguistic Typology 2017; 21(1): 143–176
    Linguistic Typology 2017; 21(1): 143–176 Felicity Meakins* and Rachel Nordlinger Possessor dissension: Agreement mismatch in Ngumpin-Yapa possessive constructions DOI 10.1515/lingty-2017-0004 Received November 18, 2015; revised May 3, 2016 Abstract: In this article we describe a possessive construction in the Ngumpin- Yapa languages of Australia which has interesting implications for crosslinguis- tic models of agreement. In this “possessor dissension” construction, the pos- sessor NP remains a modifier within the larger possessive NP, yet both the possessor and the possessum are cross-referenced with clause-level agreement morphology. Thus, there is a type of morphosyntactic disagreement (or dissen- sion) between the syntactic position of the possessor as an NP-internal argument and its being agreed with at the clausal level as if it were a clausal argument. This phenomenon has had only limited mention in the typological literature, and has not previously been discussed for Australian languages. We discuss the properties of the construction, how it can be distinguished from other related construction types, and its implications for the typology of agreement. Keywords: agreement, alienable vs. inalienable possession, argument vs. adjunct, Australian, benefactive/malefactive, cross-reference, external possessor, morphol- ogy, Ngumpin-Yapa languages, possession, syntax 1 Introduction In this article we discuss a particular possessive construction found in Bilinarra, Gurindji, and other Ngumpin-Yapa languages of northern Australia, which we will refer to as “possessor dissension”.1 In this possessive 1 The term “possessor dissension” (cf. descent/dissent) is meant as a play on the term “possessor ascension” and reflects the dissonance in agreement insofar as the possessor is syntactically a modifier within the NP but is agreed with by the verb as if it were a clausal argument.

  • Noun Phrase Constituency in Australian Languages: a Typological Study
    Linguistic Typology 2016; 20(1): 25–80 Dana Louagie and Jean-Christophe Verstraete Noun phrase constituency in Australian languages: A typological study DOI 10.1515/lingty-2016-0002 Received July 14, 2015; revised December 17, 2015 Abstract: This article examines whether Australian languages generally lack clear noun phrase structures, as has sometimes been argued in the literature. We break up the notion of NP constituency into a set of concrete typological parameters, and analyse these across a sample of 100 languages, representing a significant portion of diversity on the Australian continent. We show that there is little evidence to support general ideas about the absence of NP structures, and we argue that it makes more sense to typologize languages on the basis of where and how they allow “classic” NP construal, and how this fits into the broader range of construals in the nominal domain. Keywords: Australian languages, constituency, discontinuous constituents, non- configurationality, noun phrase, phrase-marking, phrasehood, syntax, word- marking, word order 1 Introduction It has often been argued that Australian languages show unusual syntactic flexibility in the nominal domain, and may even lack clear noun phrase struc- tures altogether – e. g., in Blake (1983), Heath (1986), Harvey (2001: 112), Evans (2003a: 227–233), Campbell (2006: 57); see also McGregor (1997: 84), Cutfield (2011: 46–50), Nordlinger (2014: 237–241) for overviews and more general dis- cussion of claims to this effect. This idea is based mainly on features

The Australian mixed language, Light Warlpiri, combines nominal morphology from Warlpiri with verbal morphology from Kriol (an English-lexified Creole) and English, with innovations. The source languages of Light Warlpiri differ in how they encode reflexives and reciprocals—Warlpiri uses an auxiliary clitic for both reflexive and reciprocal expression, while English and Kriol both use pronominal forms, and largely have separate forms for reflexives and reciprocals. English distinguishes person and number in reflexives, but not in reciprocals; the other source languages do not distinguish person or number. This study draws on naturalistic and elicited production data to examine how reflexive and reciprocal events are encoded in Light Warlpiri. The study finds that Light Warlpiri combines near-maximal distinctions from the source languages, but in a way that is not a mirror of any. It retains the person and number distinctions of English reflexives and extends them to reciprocals, using the same forms for Citation: O’Shannessy, Carmel, and reflexives and reciprocals (like Warlpiri). Reflexives and reciprocals occur within a verbal structure Connor Brown.
