will be no restrictions regarding the choice of topics. The conference

Call for papers and registrations for a workshop on
LINGUISTIC ISSUES IN AUSTRALIAN NATIVE TITLE CLAIMS
Saturday, October 2 at the University of Western Australia
Perth, W.A. (room t.b.a)
The workshop is presented by the Australian Linguistic Society in
conjunction with the Native Title Research Unit of the Australian Institute
Of Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Studies and with assistance from
the National Native Title Tribunal.
Linguistic evidence has played an increasingly important role in Australian
native title claims, as highlighted in recent judgements. This workshop
will provide an opportunity to draw together the linguistic issues arising
in the various claims. It will be of interest to linguists,
anthropologists, lawyers and others involved in native title claims. The
workshop will be held as part of the 1999 Conference of the Australian
Linguistic Society but is open to non-members.
Papers are invited on all relevant aspects of native title claims,
including but not limited to:
* revisiting the issues of the relationships between language, people and
country, including the notion of the language group
* historical and comparative evidence for the continuity of language in a
given area, including
* use of historical documentation
* issues of contemporary knowledge and use of language
* the role of place names and geographical and
ecological terms
* communication in court and in the preparation of claims, including
* communicative styles
* interpreting and translation
* difficulties in communication
* comparison with similar issues in other parts of the world
Presentations will be of 30 minutes, including 5 minutes question time.
Further information, including a short bibliography, is available at the
website (see below).
Registration fee to be paid in advance: waged Aus$40, student/unwaged
Aus$20 (free to those registered for the main Australian Linguistic Society
conference). The preferred method of registration is using the web form at
the workshop website http://www.arts.uwa.edu.au/LingWWW/als99/ntitle.html
