Hi Lesley, I think I’ll have to track down the electronic copy when I get back to Armidale within the week. I haven’t got the pdfs on my Macbook Air or the message sticks (aka USB whatevers) I brought with me. As I’ve been away since 17th June I’ll have a few
things to sort out and organise when I get back.
<div>Cheers, Margaret<div><div class="h5"><br>

<span style="font-size:15px">I’m not quite sure from this conversation whether you and others want a grammar written in English to help learners of a traditional language. If so:</span>
<div><span style="font-size:15px">My Ngarl-nyulmimbi Alawirryunu (Alawa Learner’s Guide) is one such, published in 2004 by the Katherine Language Centre, which sort-of died in 2008. Soon we’ll know if there are more of them, but I will have
pdf copies of the two books. I’ve just had 20 copies reprinted. It will have 3 accompanying audio CDs, and now occupies two ISBN numbers. I’ll have to get back to Armidale to finish organising the pdfs (a couple of pages were issued in the printing). I could
send you the pdfs. There’s a few typos also. Margaret</span><br>

<div>I am looking for examples of accessible descriptive grammars or plain language/English grammars that aim to be accessible to the language community. If anyone knows of a grammar/s that have been produced for this purpose, particularly in the past
10 years or so, I would be most grateful for a reference or a copy if at all possible. I am also looking for any literature relating to the same.<br>
<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
