Australia’s indigenous languages are famed for their complex word structures, making them highly informative for our understanding of how human language works. This project unearths that complexity and organises it into computer-readable form, in order to contribute
to cutting-edge research on data visualisation in linguistics (including a concurrent, related summer project in computer science at UQ), and to electronic resources that will underlie the coming generation of indigenous language apps.</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 12px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 18px; widows: 1;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Suitable for:</strong></p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 12px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 18px; widows: 1;">

Bruce Sommer worked for decades with indigenous peoples throughout Cape York, recording a vast amount of language material, most of which he deposited with UQ’s Fryer Library. This project will begin to enrich Sommer’s records, by bringing it out of archival
boxes and into more readily accessible forms, specifically, by creating electronically readable and deliverable versions of some of his thousands of pages of notes on traditional stories, grammar, vocab and culture.</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 12px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 18px; widows: 1;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Suitable for:</strong></p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 12px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 18px; widows: 1;">

The Garrwa language is spoken in the Gulf Country around the town of Borroloola (NT) and east towards the Queensland Border. Children no longer learn Garrwa as a first language but there are a number of older Garrwa people in and around Borroloola and the community
of Robinson River who are keen to ensure that the language is well-documented and taught to young people to maintain and revitalise cultural and linguistic heritage and practices. They are particularly interested in the production of a dictionary to sit alongside
the recently published reference grammar (Mushin, I. 2012. A grammar of (Western) Garrwa. Mouton). The first stage of this project will be to work through an older draft dictionary from 1997 and checked with speakers in 2006-2010 to compile an initial list
of entries and, where possible, match with recordings of the words. Students will learn practical skills in language documentation and the development of dictionary entries, as well as learning about the Garrwa language.</p><p style="margin: 12px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; widows: 1;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Suitable for:</strong></p><p style="margin: 12px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; widows: 1;">
