Professor Anne Cutler

University of Western Sydney
[http://aila2014.com/images/speakers/Anne_Cutler.jpg]

Anne Cutler is Research Professor at The MARCS Institute, University of Western Sydney. She studied in Australia, Germany and the US, and worked in the UK before becoming, from 1993 to 2013, a director of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, and Professor of Comparative Psycholinguistics, University of Nijmegen, both in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. She is a fellow of a number of scientific academies on three continents, and in 1999 received the Spinoza Prize (highest scientific prize in the Netherlands). Her research centres on the recognition of spoken language, in particular how listening to speech is adapted, from the earliest opportunity onwards, to suit the native language. This has led her to undertake research in many different languages, including Sesotho, Telugu, Korean, Finnish, Japanese, Cantonese and Arabic besides the Romance (French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian) and Germanic (English, Dutch, German) families more familiar to Western audiences. Her book, Native Listening, was published by MIT Press in 2012.

Nicholas Evans is Professor of Linguistics at the College of Asia/Pacific, Australian National University. He has carried out wide-ranging fieldwork on languages of northern Australia and Papua New Guinea, and the driving interest of his work is the interplay between documenting endangered languages and the many scientific and humanistic questions they can help us answer. In addition to grammars of two Aboriginal languages, Kayardild and Bininj Gun-wok, dictionaries of Dalabon and Kayardild); edited collections on a number of linguistic topics, and over 120 scientific papers, he recently published the widely-acclaimed crossover book Dying Words: Endangered Languages and What They Have to Tell Us which sets out a broad program for the field's engagement with the world's dwindling linguistic diversity. He has also worked as a linguist, interpreter and anthropologist in two Native Title claims in northern Australia, and as a promotor of Aboriginal art by the Bentinck Island women's artists.

She is originally from Spain, where she also received her first degree in Spanish Philology. She has lived in Germany, Greece, and since 1993 in the United States.

Her research, teaching and writings focus on a variety of topics related to language testing, language policy and migration within a critical perspective, in the contexts of conflicts, co-existence and rights. A central component of her work in the last decade has been in the field of 'linguistic landscape', referring to the study of languages and their representations in public space in contexts of multilingualism, multimodalities, visual literacy, urban spaces, language policy and within a focus on public spaces as arenas of contestation and negotiations. Elana has published extensively on all these topics. Her authored and edited books include: The languages of Israel: Ideology, policy and practice (with B.

Brisbane

Brisbane is the capital city of Queensland - Australia's second largest state by area. In addition to being the third most populous city in Australia, Brisbane is the largest of Australia's six capital cities by geographic area and the third largest in the world, occupying some 1,140 km².

Pack a hat and a bottle of sunscreen. With 12 months of sunshine filled days and clear blue skies, Brisbane has a climate that sets the scene for year-round alfresco activities. Even in the midst of a Brisbane winter you'll be yearning to play in the parks and dine outdoors.

Queensland's capital is not only the launching pad to a host of world-renowned attractions - the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest among these - it is the perfect urban package. A desirable, progressive and youthful leisure destination.
