<div dir="ltr">On behalf of Margaret Carew and Stanley Djalarra Rankin:<br><p>A community of Djinang people living at Maningrida in the Northern
Territory is looking for a linguist to continue work on their language.</p>
<p>In the late 1990s and early 2000s, linguist Anita Berghout built on
the earlier work of Bruce Waters to develop a Djinang dictionary and
learner's guide as part of the Maningrida Dictionary Project. For
reasons beyond Berghout's control the dictionary could not be completed
and published, but the foundational materials have been archived and are
waiting for further development.</p>
<p>Djinang man Stanley Djalarra Rankin is keen to see the dictionary and
other resources completed and made available within his community. This
proposal has support from the Batchelor Institute Desert Peoples
Centre Campus under the NT Language Centre Support program.</p>
<p>Although a Djinang grammar is already available the project would
work particularly well for someone wanting to do corpus-building as part
of a doctorate.</p>
<p>For Rankin, the community priorities are to:</p>
<ul><li>record Djinang stories and knowledge</li><li>finish the dictionary</li><li>create learning and teaching resources</li></ul>
<p>If you would like to consider undertaking this project as part of a
PhD with the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language,
please contact both Margaret Carew at Batchelor Institute
