Meeting Description:

This workshop will bring together linguists, anthropologists and historians to
discuss the history of the documentation, description and revival of the
Aboriginal languages of Australia.

Central questions to be addressed by the workshop include:
1. Who over the past 250 years has studied Australian languages? What
motivations lay behind documentation and revival efforts? What were the
material conditions under which this work took place?

2. What roles have Aboriginal people played, whether as informants,
collaborators or drivers of language documentation and revival? What ideas and
innovations have they brought along?

3. What encounters have there been in Australia between different linguistic
and philological traditions? What theoretical traditions have informed
language documentation and revival, including the implicit theories contained
in language learning textbooks?

4. What links have there been between those working in the field and the
academic world? How has empirical data from Australian language shaped the
development of academic linguistic theory? What role have descriptions of
Australian languages played in the worldwide circulation of linguistic
knowledge?
