While salvage linguistic studies are valuable projects in fostering language retention and recovery, such studies are prone to methodological diffi- culties that have the potential to compromise their validity. In Australia par- ticularly, salvage linguistic studies may be employed by parties involved in competing Native Title claims, making the validity of the study a critical issue. Furthermore, the validity of such studies may also have a bearing on other historical questions. In this article, a particular study is critically examined, possible methodological shortcomings and historical problems identified, and the relevance of these to a particular historical linguistic debate are considered.
