Hi Lesley,

My book deals with this topic for western Arnhem Land:

Garde, M. (2013). Culture, Interaction and Person Reference in an 
Australian Language: a Bininj Gunwok ethnography of communication. 
Culture and Language Use, Studies in Anthropological Linguistics, John 
Benjamins.

Garde, M. (2008). Person reference, proper names and circumspection in 
Bininj Kun-wok conversation. In I. Mushin & B. Baker (Eds.), Discourse 
and Grammar in Australian Languages (Vol. 104, pp. 203-232). Amsterdam: 
John Benjamins.

But see also Joe Blythe's PhD thesis (and other publications by him on 
similar topics):
Blythe Joe. 2009a. Doing Referring in Murriny Patha Conversation. Ph.D. 
dissertation, University of Sydney.


regards,

Murray Garde

Subject: [RNLD] Publications - Personal naming practices in Indigenous 
groups in Australia

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows of fairly recent publications that talk 
about naming practices of people by Indigenous groups in Australia.  For 
example, suffixes that are used on proper nouns when used as terms of 
address.

I have some older references: Austin 1978 & Breen 1971 but I was 
wondering if there were more recent publication out there.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers

Lesley
