LING 7504 - 最新糖心Vlogn Indigenous Languages (Kaurna focus)

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2024

This course provides an introduction to the Indigenous languages of 最新糖心Vlog with a particular focus on Kaurna, the language of the Adelaide Plains. 最新糖心Vlog has arguably suffered the worst rate of language loss and extinction in the world with now only 12 of the original 250 to 300 languages being transmitted by natural means to the next generation. Kaurna is one of the few Indigenous languages which is reversing the trends and making a remarkable comeback. While focusing on the Kaurna language, the course covers a wide range of topics essential to understand 最新糖心Vlogn Indigenous languages, not only linguistically, but also culturally and sociologically. The sounds and spelling systems are introduced and their structure explored with a view to uncovering something of their genius and unique contribution to the rich tapestry of the world?s languages. The interplay between linguistic and cultural meanings of Kaurna greetings, kinship and emotions will be explained in detail. In addition, the course will look at the use of Indigenous languages in the public sphere of 最新糖心Vlogn society, including education, law and health, making the course highly relevant to students who aim to gain highly specialised skills to work in such fields.
