Languages of the Kimberley, Western Australia
Taylor & Francis
This book provides an insightful and highly readable account both of the social setting in which the languages are spoken and of their main structural features. > The Kimberley, the far north-west of Australia, is one of the most linguistically diverse regions of the continent. Some fifty-five Aboriginal languages belonging to five different families are spoken within its borders. Few of these languages are currently being passed on to children, most of whom speak Kriol (a new language that arose about half a century ago from an earlier Pidgin English) or Aboriginal English (a dialect of English) as their mother tongue and usual language of communication. This book describes the Aboriginal languages spoken today and in the recent past in this region. > List of tables List of figures List of plates List of maps Preface Acknowledgements Abbreviations 1. Introduction 2. Survey of Kimberley Languages 3. Language in Kimberley Aboriginal Societies 4. Phonetics and Phonology .
