Abstract:

Australia and New Zealand are hosts to hundreds of languages whose 
interaction is at the heart of Language in Australia and New Zealand. English 
constitutes the natural center and the full range of writings is covered from 
1788 to 2001, including dictionaries and glossaries. Comprehensive 
coverage is given to the other languages - indigenous, European, Asian, and 
contact languages - that have emerged throughout the history of these 
nations, especially Kriol, Torres Strait Creole, and Norfolk. The bibliography 
also includes onomastics and Australian and New Zealand sign language. 
Other themes covered are the interaction of English with indigenous and non-
English-migrant languages; language maintenance, shift, and loss; 
psycholinguistic and societal factors; language policies; and educational 
responses.

Stored on media-neutral electronic databases, the bibliography offers the 
following features

Users can enter any keyword to begin a search (lists of keywords are also 
available). Each entry contains a number of keywords, which direct the user 
to other related search terms or entries. Internal cross-classifications and 
further searches within a search result are possible.

Both the keywords and the comments for each entry give a clear indication 
of the main topics covered by the publication, providing the user with a 
detailed overview and systematic coverage of the many subfields of 
research.

Abstracts or notes are provided for most of the entries. 

The bibliography does not only survey publications within their specific areas 
of research, but also includes a wide variety of titles dealing with the 
application of their findings in related fields and adjacent non-linguistic 
disciplines.

Publications covered include monographs, collective volumes, articles in 
journals and edited works, proceedings, and difficult to trace literature such 
as theses, dissertations, pre-publications, unpublished manuscripts, online 
publications, as well as reports from institutions. In these cases, details on 
accessibility and location are added, thus avoiding time-consuming searches 
elsewhere.

Future editions will include feedback functions so that users can submit 
further information and/or abstracts, making the bibliography interactive.

Annual updates: up to new 1000 entries are planned.
