This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grammar of the Narrinyeri Tribe of Australian Aborigines Any one who has ever undertaken to gather up the grammar of an unwritten and barbarous language, will appreciate the difficulties which have to be encountered. Inquiries are useless when addressed to minds upon whom the idea of grammar never dawned. Expressions are heard having a certain force, and it is only after years of careful observation that those expressions can be analyzed, and their true character discerned; and this difficulty is increased when, as in the language of the Narrinyeri, ellipsis and abbreviations abound. The Rev. H. A. E. Meyer, a Lutheran Missionary, made a brave attempt to master the grammar of this language in 1843, and with some success; but yet his attempt presents a great number of ludicrous mistakes to one better acquainted with it. I found I had to rely on my own observations if I was to gain any correct knowledge of the language. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grammar of the Narrinyeri Tribe of Australian Aborigines This language is spoken by the tribe of aborigines in South Australia inhabiting the country on the shores of Encounter Bay and the Lakes Alexandrina, Albert, and Coorong, and twenty miles up the River Murray. There are some trifling variations of dialect between the clans that compose the tribe, but I do not perceive such a difference as would be an impediment to a stranger learning the language. My object in committing to writing the information which I have gathered respecting the grammar of this tongue has been to present it in such a form as to enable students of Comparative Philology to use it for the purpose of rendering a modicum of help towards arriving at correct conclusions respecting the Philosophy of Language. The comparison of the grammatical structure of different languages is of the greatest importance, and the surest guide to the real relationships of language and nations. In saying this, I am almost quoting the remarks of that lamented and eminent laborer in this department of Anthropological science, the late Dr. Bleek, of Cape Town. Any one who has ever undertaken to gather up the grammar of an unwritten and barbarous language, will appreciate the difficulties which have to be encountered. Inquiries are useless when addressed to minds upon whom the idea of grammar never dawned. Expressions are heard having a certain force, and it is only after years of careful observation that those expressions can be analyzed, and their true character discerned; and this difficulty is increased when, as in the language of the Narrinyeri, ellipsis and abbreviations abound. The Rev. H. A. E. Meyer, a Lutheran Missionary, made a brave attempt to master the grammar of this language in 1843, and with some success; but yet his attempt presents a great number of ludicrous mistakes to one better acquainted with it.

This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of a Grammar, Vocabulary, and Phraseology, of the Aboriginal Language of South Australia: Spoken by the Natives in and for Some Distance Around Adelaide IN presenting the following pages to the public, the writers deem it their duty to state the objects and motives for doing so. The chief motives are - to keep up the good understanding, and to facilitate the intercourse, between the Aborigines and Euro peans; to give to the latter a medium of communication, and, especially, assistance to those who may be inclined to acquire the language; to enliven the hopes of those who wish the christiani zation and civilization of their colored fellow-men, showing them that a race of human beings possessing a language so regular in its formation and construction as that of the South Australian natives, cannot be incapable of either; and to refute premature and unjust detractions concerning the mental capabilities of the Aborigines of Australia. Another object has been, to render a small contribution or inducement to a general study of the man. Ners, customs, and origin of these people.

Book Synopsis A Grammar of Bilinarra by : Felicity Meakins
Download or read book A Grammar of Bilinarra written by Felicity Meakins and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-12-12 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Felicity Meakins was awarded the Kenneth L. Hale Award 2021 by the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) for outstanding work on the documentation of endangered languages This volume provides the first comprehensive description of Bilinarra, a Pama-Nyungan language of the Victoria River District of the Northern Territory (Australia). Bilinarra is a highly endangered language with only one speaker remaining in 2012 and no child learners. The materials on which this grammatical description is based were collected by the authors over a 20 year period from the last first-language speakers of the language, most of whom have since passed away. Bilinarra is a member of the Ngumpin subgroup of Pama-Nyungan which forms a part of the Ngumpin-Yapa family, which also includes Warlpiri. It is non-configurational, with nominals commonly omitted, arguments cross-referenced by pronominal clitics and word order grammatically free and largely determined by information structure. In this grammatical description much attention is paid to its morphosyntax, including case morphology, the pronominal clitic system and complex predicates. A particular strength of the volume is the provision of sound files for example sentences, allowing the reader access to the language itself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Native Tribes of South-East Australia I have endeavoured to show on the maps which accompany this work the range of the several class organisa tions, and the locality in each state, of each tribe referred to. But the reader will kindly bear in mind the great difficulty which always presents itself, not only in defining the true boundaries of any tribal country, but also, in many cases, of giving the true and comprehensive name of the tribe. A member of a clan will probably give its name, and only on closer inquiry will give the name of the tribe of which that clan is a part. It is still more difficult to ascertain the name of what I have termed a nation, that is, of a group which includes two or more kindred tribes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Cologne, language: English, abstract: In this term paper, the main question that arises is “What are the forms and functions of the verb system in Aboriginal English and Australian English?”. Thus, studies about verb usages of both varieties of English will be analysed, providing an illustration of differences in both systems. Before dealing with these data in detail, one theory concerning World Englishes and their emergence will be presented in chapter 2.1. One of the theoretical approaches was made by Edgar W. Schneider. His theory is called “The Dynamic Model of New Englishes.” References of this theory that are utilized in this term paper are “The dynamics of New Englishes; From identity construction to dialect birth” (2003) and “Postcolonial English. Varieties around the World” (2007). An explanation of historical, sociolinguistic and linguistic processes leading towards the emergence of New Englishes will thus be given. Secondly, the Verb system will be illustrated in 2.2., giving an overview of how certain verb structures are used by speakers of English. Before dealing with the analysis of examples of both varieties, the sociolinguistic background of both Australian English and Aboriginal English will be taken into account in chapter 3.1. In this part, the question arises where these varieties are spoken and who acquired and speaks them. Moreover, the history of Aboriginal English and Australian English will be explained. The data analysis in chapter 3.2. shows studies and examples of both varieties. Examples made by Ian G. Malcolm, Peter Collins and Pam Peters are mostly significant. Last but not least, a discussion at the end of the term paper will be added. This shall give readers a conclusion of certain data findings of the verb system of Australian English and Aboriginal English and how data findings apply to Schneider ́s Dynamic Model and to the research question.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Language of the Aborigines of the Colony of Victoria and Other Australian Districts: With Parallel Translations and Familiar Specimens in Dialogue, as a Guide to Aboriginal Protectors and Others Engaged in Ameliorating Their Condition When the Author first commenced the present compilation of the Language of the Aborigines of the Colony of Victoria, it was his intention to have combined with it a lucid description of the customs, primitive habits, and religious superstitions, of a people who are evidently fast sharing the fate of their savage prototypes of the adjoining islands. But after finishing the Language, to which is appended some specimens in dialogue, he discovered that to accomplish his original design, touching their customs and ceremonies, would be to extend the work beyond the prescribed limit, and thereby incurring (unless the public award a liberal patronage) expenses beyond the Author's means; he therefore finds himself compelled to give only a short sketch of that which he had originally intended to have published at length; should, however, sufficient encouragement be given to the present work, the Author will be happy to furnish, from the abundant materials at his command, a separate work, - treating on that subject, so little known, - the habits and customs of the Aborigines of Australia.
