25.01.2022 The National Indigenous Languages Report 2020 The Third National Indigenous Languages Report has been released, the first since 2014. It gives an up-to-date account of the state of Indigenous languages and their speakers in Australia. A team of linguists from the School of Literature, Languages and Linguistics and the ARC Centre for the Dynamics of Language helped write the report. They developed the ‘Well-being and Indigenous language ecologies’ (WILE) framework which he...lps policy makers to recognise the diversity of languages in First Nations peoples’ lives. The diversity is represented in terms of ‘language ecologies’, which differ in the extent to which community members speak traditional Indigenous languages, new Indigenous languages, such as creoles or mixed languages, and varieties of English. The WILE framework shows how the range of different Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language ecologies around Australia link with their speakers’ well-being in different ways. The WILE framework is one component of research commissioned from ANU by the Australian Government Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications (formerly the Department of Communications and the Arts). Other ANU contributions include a literature review and a quantitative study investigating links between Indigenous language use and indicators of well-being.

23.01.2022 LING2021/LING6021 Cross Cultural communication Talking with strangers is often hard, because we may not share the same assumptions about how people usually think, speak and behave. This course introduces a broad range of differences across societies in how people use languages to communicate, and in the inferences they draw about what the other person intends to communicate. It raises awareness of our own assumptions, and how these are tied to the communities in which we li...ve and work.

05.01.2022 Have you missed visiting the ANU Classics Museum while the campus was closed? Good news: you can now explore the museum digitally Its entire collection is now... available online - and that has had at least one interesting consequence, according to Glen Goodwin, a Masters student in the Centre for Heritage and Museum Studies ANU. Glen was the research assistant on this project, and thanks to the museum catalogue now being online, his favourite item from the collection will be given new prominence: a cylinder seal made of lapis lazuli (1975.16, 1400-1200 BC). The seal is a small blue cylindrical bead less than 2cm long. So small, that it could go unnoticed in the actual museum. Glen says: On the new website, however, visitors can view high resolution images of the Cylinder Seal, presented alongside an illustration of the seal imprint, which really showcases the object and its uses in a new context."
