Book Synopsis A Transdisciplinary, Engaged, Phenomenological Investigation of Dwelling and Landscape Language by : Andrew Turk
Download or read book A Transdisciplinary, Engaged, Phenomenological Investigation of Dwelling and Landscape Language written by Andrew Turk and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-06 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes revised dissertation chapters from the author’s (second) PhD, which was awarded in 2020 by Murdoch University, Australia. It also includes three chapters summarising recent developments. This was an innovative, transdisciplinary, research project, using phenomenology as the over-arching meta-paradigm. The investigation involved collaborations and literature reviews across numerous disciplines, including philosophy, geography, ethnoecology, sociology and cultural studies. The book discusses three landscape language (ethnophysiography) case studies with Indigenous peoples in Australia and the USA. It features a detailed discussion of transdisciplinarity and provides a comprehensive example of how this approach can be applied to complex dwelling relationships, which people, from different cultures, have with specific topographic environments, turning terrain into landscape. It involves using phenomenology as a transdisciplinary meta-paradigm and describes phenomenological methods for integrating physical and social sciences, including an analysis of the worldviews of Indigenous peoples (for example, Manyjilyjarra Jukurrpa as Heideggerian topology).

Book Synopsis The Oxford Guide to Australian Languages by : Claire Bowern
Download or read book The Oxford Guide to Australian Languages written by Claire Bowern and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 1179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Guide to Australian Languages is a wide-ranging reference work that explores the more than 550 traditional and new Indigenous languages of Australia. Australian languages have long played an important role in diachronic and synchronic linguistics and are a vital testing ground for linguistic theory. Until now, however, there has been no comprehensive and accessible guide to the their vast linguistic diversity. This volume fills that gap, bringing together leading scholars and junior researchers to provide an up-to-date guide to all aspects of the languages of Australia. The chapters in the book explore typology, documentation, and classification; linguistic structures from phonology to pragmatics and discourse; sociolinguistics and language variation; and language in the community. The final part offers grammatical sketches of a selection of languages, sub-groups, and families. At a time when the number of living Australian languages is significantly reduced even compared to twenty year ago, this volume establishes priorities for future linguistic research and contributes to the language expansion and revitalization efforts that are underway.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of the German missionaries on South Australian languages in the first half of the nineteenth century has few contemporary parallels for thoroughness and clarity. This commentary on the grammatical introduction to Pastor Clamor Schürmann’s Vocabulary of the Parnkalla language of 1844 reconstructs a significant amount of Barngarla morphology, phonology and syntax.

Book Synopsis What Happens When You Lick Too Many Rocks by : John McEntee
Download or read book What Happens When You Lick Too Many Rocks written by John McEntee and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adnyamathanha is one of the Thura-Yura languages, spoken in the northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia. It has a rather large inventory of consonant sounds, the analysis of which presents some challenges. We show that, in the most recently spoken variety of the language, there is a contrast between two series of obstruents, phonetically voiced and voiceless, in intervocalic position. There are also four phonetically distinct rhotic sounds, two of which we analyze as major allophones of the voiced apical stops. We also analyze a full series of contrastive pre-stopped nasals and a full series of contrastive pre-stopped laterals and we give reasons for preferring this analysis over one of stop + sonorant clusters. We show that there are three contrasting vowel qualities in Adnyamathanha, with no clear evidence to support a fourth, open-front unrounded phoneme. Apparently-contrastive long vowels can almost all be analyzed as V+V sequences separated either by glides or morpheme boundaries. The phonetically long vowels resulting from the latter case do not appear to be stressed, although the increased duration may give this impression to English ears. We conclude, however, that a 'once-a-phoneme-always-a-phoneme' approach does not provide a satisfactory account of Adnyamathanha phonology. It is more helpful to recognise that, between the robust phonemic contrasts and the clearly marginal sounds, there may be a 'cline of contrast' with a number of intermediate phonological relationships.
