Course description

Language materials and language descriptions are frequently locked away from community members and their language revitalisation efforts, in archives and in technical and reference grammars. This course critically reviews language description and collection and investigates Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Protocols and documentation practices through the lens of Indigenising Linguistics. Students will gain detailed understanding and application of technical language description and analysis of sound patterns, phrase, word and clause structures, and cultural meanings embedded in language.
