Description: | A goup of informants walked from Minjilang Community down to the beach at Mission Bay to harvest the shellfish species 'Anadara antiquata', called kubiya in Iwaidja. This is the one and only time that women, children and men would enter the water, and, without any fear of crocodiles, spend a long time swimming along the shore while digging with their hands and feets in the seabed for the deliceous cockles. | |
This project documents, in as full a cultural context as is possible, the Iwaidja language of the Cobourg Peninsula, Northern Territory, Australia (Iwaidjan language family, non-Pama-Nyungan), still spoken by around 200 people but under increasing threat from English, as well as recording material from other languages of the region (Marrgu, Ilgar/ Garig, Amurdak and Manangkari) which are all reduced to one or two speakers each. In addition to linguists, the research team will include specialists in ethnomusicology, material culture / archaeology, and social anthropology, and will result in a comprehensive, searchable and browsable sound and video documentation, with Iwaidja transcriptions and subtitles alongside English translations, an Iwaidja dictionary of around 5,000 words, detailed phonetic analysis, and briefer materials on other languages of the area. | ||
