Download or read book Language shift and death of indigenous languages in Australia written by and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2006-12-07 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,0, University of Regensburg, language: English, abstract: As the sailor Captain Cook occupied the Eastern half of Australia in the name of the English King George III in 1770 the foundation for the language contact between English and Aboriginal languages has been laid. This occupation and the spread of British colonisation had a disastrous impact on the indigenous languages of Australia. After the English government had decided to found a penal colony in Botany Bay, Australia, in order to oppose the overcrowding in the British prisons, the First Fleet with 736 prisoners reached Australia on January 26th in 1788. Up to the arrival of the first British people in 1788 about 300,000 native inhabitants, later called Aborigines, lived in Australia for more than 40,000 years and about 230 distinct languages as well as 500 to 600 dialects were once spoken by the native Australians. The characteristic in Australian languages is that due to the lack in influence from other languages, Aboriginal languages are mostly independent of other language families. After about one century, however, the population of the Aboriginal Australians was reduced to 50,000 people. Moreover, after 200 years of British settlement only 90 indigenous languages were left. Approximately 70 out of these languages were threatened by extinction and only half of them still remained between ten and one hundred speakers.
Download or read book A World of Indigenous Languages written by Teresa L. McCarty and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning Indigenous settings in Africa, the Americas, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Australia, Central Asia and the Nordic countries, this book examines the multifaceted language reclamation work underway by Indigenous peoples throughout the world. Exploring political, historical, ideological, and pedagogical issues, the book foregrounds the decolonizing aims of contemporary Indigenous language movements inside and outside of schools. Many authors explore language reclamation in their own communities. Together, the authors call for expanded discourses on language planning and policy that embrace Indigenous ways of knowing and forefront grassroots language reclamation efforts as a force for Indigenous sovereignty, social justice, and self-determination. This volume will be of interest to scholars, educators and students in applied linguistics, Ethnic/Indigenous Studies, education, second language acquisition, and comparative-international education, and to a broader audience of language educators, revitalizers and policymakers.
Download or read book The Oxford Guide to Australian Languages written by Claire Bowern and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 1179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Guide to Australian Languages is a wide-ranging reference work that explores the more than 550 traditional and new Indigenous languages of Australia. Australian languages have long played an important role in diachronic and synchronic linguistics and are a vital testing ground for linguistic theory. Until now, however, there has been no comprehensive and accessible guide to the their vast linguistic diversity. This volume fills that gap, bringing together leading scholars and junior researchers to provide an up-to-date guide to all aspects of the languages of Australia. The chapters in the book explore typology, documentation, and classification; linguistic structures from phonology to pragmatics and discourse; sociolinguistics and language variation; and language in the community. The final part offers grammatical sketches of a selection of languages, sub-groups, and families. At a time when the number of living Australian languages is significantly reduced even compared to twenty year ago, this volume establishes priorities for future linguistic research and contributes to the language expansion and revitalization efforts that are underway.
Download or read book Every hill got a story written by Men and Women of Central Australia and the Central Land Council and published by Hardie Grant Books. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 913 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every hill got a story is the first comprehensive history of Central Australia’s Aboriginal people, as told in their own words and many languages. Nyinanyi ngurangka – being on country – is not a ‘lifestyle choice’ but a hard-won right, a spiritual and cultural duty, a constant battle, a source of happiness and opportunity and the meaning of life all at the same time. In this heartbreaking, funny and poignant collection, 127 eminent men and women remember surviving first contact, massacres and forced removals and resisting more than a century of top-down government policies. Their testimonies, some available as audio sound bites, paint an unflinchingly honest picture of life and work on the missions, cattle stations and fringes of towns. They speak eloquently of their struggle for self-determination and basic citizen rights. The storytellers also celebrate winning back ownership of more than 410,000 square kilometres of their ancestral lands. Key to this achievement, and deeply entwined with the lives of the storytellers and their families, is the Central Land Council. It is a Commonwealth statutory authority governed by 90 elected Aboriginal representatives. The CLC has protected the interests of Aboriginal people in the southern half of the Northern Territory since 1975 against ongoing threats to their rights. It supports them to manage their land and to use income from it to strengthen their communities and to achieve their social, cultural and economic aspirations. Through the CLC, the people and the land tell us of country where every hill got a story. For more information about the CLC and the oral history project that became Every hill got a story visit www.clc.org.au.
