Description: | On a bush trip, the informant demonstrates how to locate, choose and collect the leaves of the pandanus tree (Pandanus spiralis), called 'murrhala' in Iwaidja, which are used to weave baskets and mats. The informant first makes herself a hook by cutting down a small tree of an approprate length for reaching the higher pandanus leaves, and whose branches grow at the right angle to create a hooked end. When the informant has collected enough leaves, she packs the pandanus bundles, some of which have already been stripped by her daughter-in-law, into a mail bag which she then loads into the car. | |
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. | ||
