Description: | This recording, made with Charlie Wardaga, includes a story of the Rainbow Serpent wreaking destruction upon people, and is interesting because of the use of both Ilgar and Marrku, in representing the speech of different characters, embedded in Kunwinjku and English for the outer parts of the narrative. See handout ''Multilingualtexts.doc" for discussion of language choice and alternation in this narrative. | |
This project documents, in as full a cultural context as is possible, the Iwaidja language of the Cobourg Peninsula, Northern Territory, Australia (Iwaidjan language family, non-Pama-Nyungan), still spoken by around 200 people but under increasing threat from English, as well as recording material from other languages of the region (Marrgu, Ilgar/ Garig, Amurdak and Manangkari) which are all reduced to one or two speakers each. In addition to linguists, the research team will include specialists in ethnomusicology, material culture / archaeology, and social anthropology, and will result in a comprehensive, searchable and browsable sound and video documentation, with Iwaidja transcriptions and subtitles alongside English translations, an Iwaidja dictionary of around 5,000 words, detailed phonetic analysis, and briefer materials on other languages of the area. | ||
