Description: | The prickly leaves of the Pandanus spiralis, called 'murrhala' in Iwaidja, are used for the weaving of baskets and mats. The informant demontrates how to split the freshly collected leaves of Pandanus spiralis into long, thin strips which are then hung up and dried in the sun. When the strips have dried they are ready for the dyeing process. | |
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. | ||
