Topik: Australia; terminology; Aboriginal languages Fulltext: Vol. 5, No. 2, 2004, 151-165.pdf (110.64KB) Isi artikel Australia, as far as Aboriginal languages are concerned, is not yet engaged in systematic language planning exercises. This is in contrast to other parts of the world where language planning is institutionalised and enforced. In this paperwechronicle some of the language planning exerciseswehave observed, been involved in, or have studied of from the historical record. Terminology planning will obviously vary according to the language situation under consideration and we claim here that much of the terminology planning in Aboriginal Australia has been highly localised, ad hoc and much less institutionalised than elsewhere. With 250 Aboriginal languages existing at first significant European contact, it is not so surprising that efforts should be localised. The better documented cases of terminology planning are mostly to be found in northern Australia where the effects of outside contact have been more recent, so that some languages are still being spoken by children. In recent years, some of the more endangered languages have been in a process of revitalisation.Weprovide some examples of terminology planning from such languages, with a particular emphasis onNewSouth Wales and the Northern Territory. Of particular importance is appropriate consultation with the owners of these languages. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
