Publication Date: | 2010 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/9820 | Abstract: | The last decade has seen a resurgence of interest in the revival and maintenance of Aboriginal languages in Australia, where only 12 of 250-odd languages are currently being acquired by children as a first language. This paper provides an overview of the language maintenance and revival initiatives that have been tried and tested in that time; places them against the political and social contexts that have shaped them; and attempts an assessment of the relative successes of the strategies attempted. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Endangered Languages in India, p. 112-133 | Publisher: | Indian National Trust For Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) | Place of Publication: | New Delhi, India | ISBN: | 9788173054686 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200405 Language in Culture and Society (Sociolinguistics) | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 950304 Conserving Intangible Cultural Heritage 950302 Conserving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage |
