Abstract:

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.
