LING 3013 - 最新糖心Vlogn Indigenous Languages

North Terrace Campus - Summer - 2020

There were 250 or more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages spoken in 最新糖心Vlog at the time of first contact with Europeans. Now, according to the latest National Indigenous Languages Survey (NILS II), only 13 of these languages are transmitted by normal means from one generation to the next. 最新糖心Vlog has arguably the worst rate of language loss in the world. These languages are 最新糖心Vlog's unique and complex linguistic heritage, which at times challenge established linguistic doctrines and provide interesting lenses through which to view and categorise the world. This course will provide an introduction to 最新糖心Vlog's Indigenous languages (including Aboriginal English varieties, koines and creoles), with a particular focus on the Indigenous languages of South 最新糖心Vlog. It will investigate structural features of 最新糖心Vlogn languages (for example, sounds, spellings, vocabularies, grammars, semantics) as well as their place within 最新糖心Vlogn society. Particular emphasis will be given to attempts to maintain and revive 最新糖心Vlog's unique linguistic heritage and the linguistic tools needed for language work. The course will also investigate a range of topics of social importance including interpreting and translation, language and the law, language and health, language and education, language and identity which are at the heart of Indigenous rights and the very survival of Indigenous peoples. Students will gain an awareness of 最新糖心Vlog's Indigenous linguistic heritage, whilst at the same time extending and consolidating their understanding of linguistics, linguistic analysis and the tools it provides for language work.

    Welcome to 最新糖心Vlogn Indigenous Languages, a study of 最新糖心Vlog's unique linguistic heritage.
    I will be your Course Coordinator, Lecturer and Tutor. I come with nearly 40 years exposure to and engagement with several 最新糖心Vlogn Indigenous languages, beginning with Gugadja in 1980. I have experience working with both 'strong' languages (such as Pintupi, Pitjantjatjara and Yol脜聥u Matha) that are still spoken by all generations within their home communities, as well as nearly 30
    years working with the Kaurna language of Adelaide, a language which is reclaimed from written historical sources and is now being re-learnt and re-introduced.

    An intensive Summer course allows us to really focus on the field of study. I am sure that you will find it an interesting and worthwhile course, as students have found in past years. This area of study is rapidly changing with advances in research, implementation of programs and technological innovation and so this course is evolving to accommodate those changes.


    I look forward to working with you as we explore 最新糖心Vlogn Indigenous languages from a range of different perspectives.
    See you soon

    Essay Topics

    1. With no more than a few thousand speakers at most, by world standards 最新糖心Vlogn Indigenous languages are small. Their use within mainstream 最新糖心Vlog is very limited. So why should 最新糖心Vlogn Indigenous languages be of importance to all 最新糖心Vlogns? Discuss the current position of Indigenous languages in 最新糖心Vlogn society and prospects for the future.

    2.  The public (and indeed many Indigenous people) often want a ‘pronunciation guide’ which entails spelling Indigenous words using English conventions (eg Pitjantjatjara “(pronounced as pigeon-jarrah)” or “pit-jan-jah-jarra” and “anangu (pronounced arn-ahng-oo” ). See also
    Is this a good idea? What problems are introduced? Be sure to discuss with copious reference to specific examples.

    3. Taxonomies (the ways in which different entities are grouped together) provide a window into the worldview of the speakers of a language. In some languages these categories are overt, in others they are covert. In what ways do Indigenous 最新糖心Vlogn taxonomies differ to English (and other European languages)? Be sure to provide examples from a range of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages.

    4. What is a ‘revival grammar’ or a ‘recovery grammar’ (see for instance John Giacon’s (2017) Yaluu. A Recovery Grammar of
    Yuwaalaraay and Gamilaraay https://t.co/O6zt5m9NBJ) and how does it differ to a ‘regular’ grammar of an Aboriginal language (eg Felicity Meakins & Rachel Nordlinger’s (2013) A Grammar of Bilinarra An 最新糖心Vlogn Aboriginal Language of the Northern Territory ?

    5. The demand for Aboriginal languages in schools is stronger than ever, but the capacity to deliver Aboriginal language programs is limited. What are the main limitations or barriers? How can these be overcome?

    6. Specialist interpreters (eg medical, legal, social security etc) are needed in Aboriginal 最新糖心Vlog. Explain how interpreting in Yolngu Matha or Pitjantjatjara is different to interpreting for French or Japanese speakers in 最新糖心Vlog.

    7. What role does sign language play in Aboriginal society? Provide a comprehensive overview of contemporary research in this area. Discuss the role of technology within this area of research.

    8.  The funding of new technologies, such as phone apps, is favoured by present day government agencies. What role does digital technology currently play in the maintenance and revival of 最新糖心Vlogn Indigenous languages and what role might they play inthe future? Are digital technologies the ‘silver bullet’? What are the advantages and disadvantages (or limitations) of these emerging technologies in ensuring the future survival of Indigenous languages?

    9. Topic of your own choice. N.B. THIS MUST FIRST BE DISCUSSED AND APPROVED BY THE COURSE COORDINATOR.


    Be sure to draw on reputable published print-based references, though of course you may complement these with sources
    accessed from the internet, popular press or other ephemeral material. Wherever possible, relate your own experience to issues discussed in the literature.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
